That's certainly not a given, and they're setting up the game in a way that should allow it to continue to exist as a paid standalone title when it reaches end of service, not that Square Enix has a great track record of doing that.

Kinda surprised it doesn't seem to be launching with English VO.

I'm pretty sure whoever it was that claimed it was "the full game at launch" mistranslated something. It'll be rolled out over time, based on the beta maybe a new chapter section added for a game every week or two. BC, AC, and DC will probably each start getting added much further down the line.

In the TFS chapter of EC, Lucia says that they're "SOLDIER: P0 Class" and implies that Shinra considers them to be expendable. I had started typing up a review of the beta a couple days ago but I guess I don't really need to go that in-depth. Suffice it to say it was really enjoyable. Not a 1:1...

So glad that it runs on Bluestacks. I just wish they'd port these high quality mobile games to other platforms. Genshin Impact should be strong evidence that mobile games will make money on PC and console too if people want to play them.

It's not just that Cait Sith are from Celtic folklore. In Japanese, he speaks using the distinct Kansai dialect and accent.

I guess they can repurpose some of them as costumes for Glenn, Matt, and Lucia, at least?

Don't forget that Remake shows Shinra was using them. Reactor 1 was basically a Shinra false flag that would have failed completely if Shinra hadn't blown it up themselves to classify Avalanche as terrorists. So, this is my guess for the Terrier Timeline: Something stalls Zack and Cloud...

Doubting my phone will be able to handle this, even though I can play NieR Reincarnation on low settings. Hopefully they're willing to port this to other platforms eventually.

This looks pretty much perfect to me, and roughly follows the plotting of Act 2 of the original game as subdivided in Ultimania Omega. Start with the flashback as the opening tutorial set piece, some intermission cutscenes of the party in the Kalm inn discussing things. The dragon would make a...

Often the simplest answer is the correct one. I think in the Terrier timeline something delayed Zack and Cloud during their escape from Nibelheim, causing them to arrive on the outskirts of Midgar days later. Zack survived the battle this time, but Cloud never snapped out of his delirium, never...

Given that the original was turn based couldn't you always only control one character at a time? Edit: Oh, I see. They auto battle while you're controlling the main character, similar to Remake. Wonder if it'll have a true turn base option. Also confirms that young Sephiroth will be playable...

That was the plan from the start. One of the first things they announced was that EVER CRISIS has an original story about Sephiroth that ties into THE FIRST SOLDIER. That's what the previous footage of young Sephiroth is from.

Bit of a late reply but this seems more likely to me. Similar to BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift. That series begins with one single timeline which continually loops. There are minor variations due to the laws of probability, but it always ends when an incident causes the...

It's the writing. The Compilation was written in a very mid 00s Japanese style. Remake is much more naturalistic, especially the English localization. So much so that it sounds like it was written by English writers first, rather than translated from a Japanese source. I think I'd chalk it up to...

Looks like the main game is very similar to the story mode in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, where you have a world map populated with locations, and each location has a series of quests that contain either story cutscenes, battles, or explorable dungeons. In FFBE the story is broken up into...

Felt like this might have caught on if they'd ported it to PC and consoles. The relatively high specs + genre / platform combo seems like it'd have really limited their maximum reach. Time to start archival. At least they gave a three month notice.

I feel like the flashes to a presumably younger Sephiroth are probably meant to be hinting at the storyline for THE FIRST SOLDIER that they said it'd include, since that's the only new storyline that they've indicated EVER CRISIS will feature. Project: 0 culminating with Sephiroth wiping out...

I'd like to see Cobalt XIV and Indigo XV rescued from the cutting room floor as part of Nanaki's character arc. Introducing Deneh too, of course. I want to see more named SOLDIERs. Rather than just having generic 1C Operators as enemies to fight, I'd like it if every 1C Operator is a named...

I think there's probably a good chance they'll add some sort of new content that hooks into Remake, even if only as something like an unlockable secret ending.
