Six months after its debut, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis has finally made its way to the Asia region. The surprise announcement comes less than a month after the highly-anticipated release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and includes the full list of countries in its official X/Twitter post.
Fans in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Macau, Myanmar, and Laos can now play the game on their iOS and Android devices, as well as PC via Steam. Initially released on 7 September last year, it serves as a retelling of Final Fantasy VII and other side narratives in the compilation, such as Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and even the Advent Children animated CG movie.
This first wave of launch excluded territories in Asia, with its region-locked access denying players from stepping into fantasy world without a VPN. Apart from letting them “experience the journey of a young hero Sephiroth”, the spin-off directed by longtime franchise head creative Tetsuya Nomura will also feature exclusive soundtracks.
Currently, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is celebrating its half-anniversary with a seven-week-long event, featuring special banners, weapon level uncap, Double Summon Quests, event stories, login bonuses, and more. The series of activities will run from 6 March to 24 April.
Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth’s theme on her Spotify playlist can get. A fan of movies, games, and Japanese culture, Si Jia’s greatest weakness is the Steam Summer Sale. Or any Steam sale, really.
