Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, a gacha game that incorporated stories from across the greater Final Fantasy VII series, will shut down later this year. In a post on the Ever Crisis website, game producer Shoichi Ichikawa was surprisingly candid about the reason for the game’s shut down. “It has become difficult to find a balance between production costs and the demand for character weapons and gear,” he said. Players will have a few more months to enjoy the game before Square Enix shuts the servers down on October 6th.
"We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for the abrupt nature of this announcement." The notice continues by saying that while Square Enix has worked to provide a good experience for players since the game's launch, it has "determined that it will be difficult to continue doing so." Before the game's scheduled closure, players can use Red Crystals (in-game currency) until the end of service. Unfortunately, only Taiwan residents will be able to receive refunds for any unused Red Crystals (which are purchased with real-world money).
