Without a doubt, Final Fantasy VII lovers are waiting like rain in May for the arrival of the two titles for mobile versions. Beyond the Intergrade expansion, Ever Crisis and The First Soldier have emerged as two interesting proposals by Square Enix .
Now, with the recent broadcast of a company direct dedicated to the latest title, we have been able to take an in-depth look at the battle royale . You can take a look at the broadcast, which features several games from the presenters.
As we can see in the video, multiple details of The First Soldier have been explained. For example, the idea of the game comes from the producer Shoichi Ichikawa and the development of the games does not vary much compared to other games of the same genre.
The map will be populated with different monsters and creatures , such as the Scorpion Guardian or the Tonberry, that will engage in combat against us, even if we are fighting against another opponent. We can see the church in sector 5 or the Aeris house , among other recognizable settings.
There will be day and night cycles , as well as close combat, which is most effective in fighting monsters. If we kill them, they will leave us loot such as weapons and armor. As it cannot be missing in a self-respecting Final Fantasy VII , we can make use of magic and materials.
If we use Pyro, fireballs will shoot towards the target, while with Ice, a small icy turret will continuously drop projectiles. Another interesting way to use these skills will be with wind magic, which will propel us towards the skies , overcoming vertical areas. The presence of invocations such as Ifrit has also been seen.
There will also be character variants to choose from and to suit our style of play. In total, up to 75 players will meet in the games of Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldie r. There will be a mode for a free player and a team mode, which will bring us together in trios of users. Also essential is the fact that we can direct the helicopter that takes us to the battlefield to dive onto the pitch.
Beta closed in June … but not in Europe
From June 1 to June 7, a closed beta of Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier will be available, although it will only be available in North America for Android devices. In Japan, for their part, they will have another closed beta from June 1 to June 8 for both Android and iOS.
Set prior to Final Fantasy VII, The First Soldier puts us in the context that the Shinra corporation wants to recruit the best possible members for SOLDIER. Without a specific release date, the game is planned to see the light of day sometime in 2021 .
