Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis Shut Down - All Player Purchases Lost

Square Enix has shut down the servers for Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, causing players to lose access to the game and their purchased items, with the exception of legally mandated refunds in Taiwan.

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis closed on October 6 and is now unavailable on Android, iOS, and PC. The game was released in September 2023, and on PC in December of the same year, offering events from the original Final Fantasy VII, as well as content from Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus.

The project was distributed under a free-to-play model with gacha monetization. Square Enix announced the server shutdown back in July 2026. For players in Taiwan, the company offered refunds for unused Red Crystals, as required by local legislation.

However, Ever Crisis might get a second life in an offline format. Square Enix is preparing Final Fantasy Resonance, a full version of the mobile Brave Exvius without gacha monetization. Brave Exvius servers closed in October 2024, so a similar scenario for Ever Crisis in the future cannot be ruled out.
