      I think he feels proud that the franchise, his baby, is still going strong to this day. It still remains Square's flagship. It's mostly just for some of us consumers, who are fed up with being just seen as a wallet, which yes, we are, but we still want a little bit of respect for the things we love, especially stories that sometimes help us escape and for a moment forget about our worries.

    The moment Remake ended the way it did showed there was no love for the original. Ever Crisis will end up like First SOLDIER once they make their money, shut it down, then after Rebirh give you another mobile game with more monitization and nothing really connecting it the main line.

    Unfortunately the "definitive way to play ff7" is locked behind a much steeper pay wall than any presented in Ever Crisis if you don't own a PC.
    Honestly 'mobile game' told me everything I needed to know about what to expect from Rver Crisis. They said it would span the entire compilation which is a tremendous amount of content so I couldn't imagine it not being a simplified abridged version.
    My expectations for Ever Crisis were low and what actually came out was far better than I ever thought it would be. Not to downplay any of the flaws you pointed out. I'm just saying it exceeded expectations on my end lol
    Love the use of Cids theme from FF16 👍

    The game is not a remake it is a game in the FF7 cannon where you can expirience the Story. If you want Final Fantasy VII just play it. You can get it in the Store or play the remake. The game is based on "Before Crisis" not on the PS1 game.

    Tbf though, ever crisis isn't the first game to lock equipment behind gacha. FF Opera Omnia, Tales of the Rays, Tales of Luminaria, and probably many more that I am not aware of. I don't think locking the equipment behind the gacha is inherently a bad, but it can be if a) there's no pity system and b) players feel forced to spend in order to keep up their power levels. Opera Omnia has neither of those problems, and only time will tell if Ever Crisis will follow in its footsteps.

    The fact that the game isn't a 1:1, it even has remake changes in it such as the corneos coliseum, and a lot of cut stuff is just... So sad for new players. The gacha elements just makes it a blatant cash grab game, but modern gamers defend and even like this somehow. Play the heck out of the game, people should tax their servers, but never pay a dime. 5 M downloaded...

    The game is a terrible cash grab yes and there are WAY better ways to play FF7, the only reason I'm playing it is for more Sephiroth lore and to kill time on the toilet. However, you played yourself bro. Those blue crystals you, "had no use for" are the primary gacha currency in the game. So you were spending currency for Stamina when you could have been pulling weapons with it. And just looking at your UI throughout the video you had at least 30+ pulls you could have used.

    To a business.. franchises exist to be milked. Some do it in a positive way.. normal quality sequels like Armored Core 6. Most don't though.
    Tip: If you grew up on gaming before the internet's existence.. your not the target audience for literally any mobile game. Frankly it's a miracle many of these companies bother with console/PC releases to begin with given how happy mobile customers are to throw their money at these mindless distractions.

    • @thatguybis1997

      @@thatguybis1997 It doesn't need to be a fresh IP to target an audience who hasn't played the game.
      I personally have never played ff7, but i know well enough it's popularity. Up until my friend streamed it for me, their was a curiosity factor. Using a big name franchise and title is a plus even if the end-user isn't intended to be fans. Fans also might make that jump to mobile, and if they have a large wallet they might dump into the game. That, however, isn't a gamble.. it's a bonus and nothing more if it happens.
      by using ff7, along with CC and that other game, they can build a very large game where the user will be slowly drenched in sunk-cost fallacy.. buying weapons for progression only to hit another barrier. They do this, without having to invest a ton into creating a new idea. The world is their.. midgard is designed already, and they already know what to do with Aerith.. they just have to code it. Reusing assets from ff7 remake.. well.. cost saving as well. They can make a AAA budget game on an A budget, if you will. Concept investment goes into the battle system.. make it more for the mindless mobile gamer.. don't want to make the user think too much. Also don't want to give the user too much control.. gamers are known for finding ways to break a system that gives a lot of control.
