Ever Crisis retells events from the original game and includes additional backstories and features. The gameplay relies on the original's Active Time Battle system, optimized for mobile. While free-to-play, players might need to spend money on "gacha" to acquire items, according to beta reviews. Fans eager to play can pre-register for either or both mobile platforms. With its unique blend of nostalgia and innovation, Ever Crisis is generating buzz as a welcome addition to the Final Fantasy universe.
