It’s been a while now since Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, a remake of the acclaimed role-playing game for mobile devices. From the moment it was announced, the project has become one of the most highly-anticipated games by the millions of fans this video game has around the world.
To make sure you don’t miss a thing, we’re here to tell you all the details we know, including information about FFVII: Ever Crisis’s graphics, its release date, minimum requirements and more. You can find it all below.
What is Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis?
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis is a remake of Final Fantasy VII that not only includes the original game but also all the stories from its spin-offs.
This remake updates both the gameplay, bringing it closer to the action of the PS5 remake (at least as seen in videos so far), as well as the graphics. In fact, in terms of graphics, we find that FFVII: Ever Crisis alternates between a more realistic style and a more cartoon depending on the content.
One of the main appeals of this remake is that it won’t only allow you to enjoy Final Fantasy VII with new graphics, but will bring with its stories from the spin-offs that are currently only available on consoles such as PSP and PS2 (like Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, for example) or that have never even had a release in Western countries (like Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII).

Will Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis be free?
Right from the start, Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis has been announced as a free-to-play game for smartphones.
The game will include some paid elements that, according to what has been explained, will be related to unlocking weapons, gacha-style. In other words, you’ll be able to pay to get some random weapons, but we’re still not entirely clear what the scope will be of these gacha elements in the single-player adventure that Square Enix is preparing.
Beta and release date
When will the beta be available?
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will be playable for the first time in the form of a closed beta that will take place at some point in summer 2023. The date has yet to be confirmed and no details have been given as to whether this will be geo-restricted or how it can be accessed.
When will the final version of FFVII: Ever Crisis be available?
For the time being, there’s no exact date for the release of Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis. Square Enix had assured that the goal was to have it ready at some point in 2023, but, considering that the beta will take place in a few months from now, it’s possible that the final release may be delayed until 2024.
Requirements to play Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis
At the moment, they haven’t publicly announced the requirements that mobile devices will need to meet in order to properly run this remake of Final Fantasy VII and its spin-offs. It is expected that the requirements will be unveiled shortly before the closed beta is made available, and then updated for the final release.
Will Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis be available on PC and consoles?
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis is a video game that’s been announced exclusively for iOS and Android devices. Square Enix hasn’t revealed plans to officially bring the game to any other platform.
However, once the game is available on phones, it will be possible to play it on PC thanks to emulators like NoxPlayer.
