Summary
- Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis has gacha elements and some could be enjoyable if transferred to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
- The presence of special features for playable characters in FF7 Ever Crisis could be a positive addition to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth could expand customization options with the help of Ever Crisis, without the burden of a gacha mechanic.
The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth needs to steal only one of FF7 Ever Crisis’ features so that it can become better. It is hard to compare both titles as they are both drastically different product models. Though they are both set in the world of the popular series created by Square Enix, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and is expected to be a full AAA title for PlayStation 5 consoles with a blend of action RPG and turn-based combat. FF7 Ever Crisis, on the other hand, is a newly released mobile game that seeks to retell the entire Final Fantasy 7 storyline.
It is, however, a product tailored for mobile players and, with its alternative product model, it offers a few different features. There are gacha elements in Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, for instance, which prompt players to try their luck with roulettes in order to obtain enhanced weapons and gear. This element of the game may be frowned upon, as ascending and getting better at FF7 Ever Crisis may depend on luck. However, there is a positive aspect to it that would be enjoyable if transferred over to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Should Have Character Outfits
One of the best features in FF7 Ever Crisis that could be somewhat transferred over to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the presence of special costumes for the playable characters. In the new mobile game, they are mostly locked behind the gacha system, which makes them harder to obtain. Nevertheless, the presence of alternative outfits in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth could be a positive thing, especially since the title is not expected to have a gacha system. As such, players could pursue new and free skins for Cloud, Tifa, Barrett, Aerith, Red XIII, and any potential side characters that the team.
How Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Could Introduce Skins
Though the method of acquisition of outfits in the mobile title is not the best for Rebirth, the feature itself could be a great boon for the PS5 game. In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players could be able to go after more customization options, either through the usage of Gil at specific vendors or perhaps even special side quests. This could also significantly expand the game’s potential in of customization and allow more player freedom while exploring the rest of Gaia. It does not even need to have an actual effect on gameplay stats, much like in FF7 Ever Crisis.
Alternative outfits could also be a great way of showcasing the multiple sets of clothes that the characters have had over the various products derived from Final Fantasy 7, such as Advent Children, Crisis Core: Reunion, and even Dirge of Cerberus. It is an easy way of expanding the content of the game and paying homage to the series’ history and may even entice Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players to try out FF7 Ever Crisis.
