The game will also be free to play from the beginning but there are no details available if it’ll have in-app purchases. It may follow the steps of Final Fantasy 15 Pocket Edition where you have to buy later chapters of the story as you continue to progress.
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis Release Date: When is it?
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will be a free-to-play single-player adventure coming later this year. It was announced in February 2021 alongside the PS5 version of the FF7 Remake and Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, a mobile spin-off battle royale.
However, Square Enix didn’t announce a specific release date for Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis. We only know that it’s coming later in 2022. As soon as the developer or publisher shares a confirmed release date, we’ll update it here.

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will be available on Android & iOS
Upon launch, Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will be available to play for free on Android and iOS devices. The upcoming closed beta that Square Enix has recently announced will also be available on the same devices.
A recent interview of Tetsuya Nomura, the game’s creative director, with Famitsu, reveals that FF7: Ever Crisis will be free-to-play with gacha mechanics. Its monetization system will revolve around weapon unlocks and there will be plenty of content that wasn’t available in the original game.
Will Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis be available on Nintendo Switch?
Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will only launch for Android and iOS devices. It won’t be available on Nintendo Switch or any other platform upon launch.
I'm pretty positive Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is going to end up on a Nintendo console once its complete form is released on Mobile.
Depending on how long the Roadmap of this game runs for, that could be the Switch, or it could be the next console. Who knows?
