THE FUSE

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.
