Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis gameplay
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis combines retro-style graphics with well-rendered visuals in two gameplay modes. While exploring the word, the game uses a command-style RPG system with chibi characters. However, there are full-body characters in battle, and the game features more dynamic camerawork while in combat. The latter most closely resembles the style of the original title.
Ever Crisis follows the battle system for the original Final Fantasy VII, the Active Time Battle system, and uses materials, weapons, summons, and limit breaks based on the original game. The game also supports additional mobile-specific features like Auto Mode and Battle Speed and allows for Co-op battles where up to three friends can team up to take down bosses together.
