Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis Shutdown Leaves Japanese Prequel Unplayable
Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, the mobile game that aimed to faithfully retell the story of the classic 1997 RPG alongside its expanded universe, is shutting down, and the consequences extend beyond the game itself. The closure means that Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, a Japan-exclusive mobile prequel that was integrated into Ever Crisis, will remain effectively unplayable for the vast majority of fans. Before Crisis originally launched in Japan in 2004 and never received an official Western release, making Ever Crisis the best hope many players had of experiencing that chapter of the FF7 timeline.
