Square Enix has just released several gameplay clips from its latest battle royale game, Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, on Twitch. Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier is preparing to become a battle royale shooter unlike any other.

At the very least, the game will feature monsters from the Final Fantasy universe. These beasts will roam the map and may attack players at random.

The game is set in Midgar before the events of Final Fantasy VII. Players will take on the role of aspiring Soldiers who must make use of all their abilities to survive.

In the short trailer shown, players appear to be able to use firearms, magic, and close-range combos, whether involving kicks, punches, or weapons such as swords.

Players can make use of nearly every type of magic and the distinctive shields found in the world of Final Fantasy VII.

These abilities also include defensive options, such as creating a shield to block incoming projectiles, as well as offensive abilities, such as throwing fireballs and summoning monsters to help in battle.

In addition, there appear to be various support options available. For example, players can heal teammates or create a small cyclone trap that allows them to reach a certain height.

Judging from the trailer video released earlier, players seem to be able to equip three different spells at once, with each skill requiring a different amount of MP.

Each skill also has a level displayed beside it, although it is not yet clear how those levels can be increased. Likewise, Square Enix has not stated how these skills are equipped.

Close-quarters combat will also be an impressive part of playing Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. More traditional ranged combat will be included as well, a hallmark of most battle royale games. The advantage players gain from close-range attacks is, of course, movement that cannot be heard by opponents.

Materia will also be featured in Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. First introduced in Final Fantasy VII, Materia is an item that allows characters to grow stronger and gain new skills.

In The First Soldier series, Materia has a similar feature, enhancing characters’ magical abilities and making them tougher.

The release date for Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier has not yet been confirmed, but players can register for the Final Fantasy VII beta, which will be held between June 1 and 7.

Square Enix has only stated that the game will be released for iOS and Android in 2021, during a month that has yet to be confirmed. However, since this is a multiplayer game, it may be released in a limited launch before being offered globally in order to test the servers and gather feedback from many players.

As is often the case with multiplayer games for mobile devices, Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier will be free to play on iOS and Android.

However, Square Enix has not explained in detail what kind of in-app purchase system the game will have.


Battle royale games generally offer several battle passes, allowing players to obtain various items to level up during a season.

There are generally free and paid versions as part of the in-app purchase system. In addition, there may also be items that players can buy using in-game currency. These could include character skins, weapons, or abilities.
