Square Enix has trademarked “Ever Crisis” and “The First Soldier” in Japan

let wild speculation and squat-offs commence

All three trademarks seem to be related to Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII series:

• “Ever Crisis” shares a similar name to the 2004-released mobile game Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII and 2007-released PSP game Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
• “The First Soldier” may be a reference to Sephiroth, the main villain of the Final Fantasy VII series.
• The Shinra Electric Power Company is an organization in the world of Final Fantasy VII.

Let the milking begin!

Surprise! FFVII Remake part 2 is just Crisis Core again

[Lord Golbez]

Remember when Square Enix trademarked "Chrono Break"? I do.

I wish they'd trademark something like "Parasite: Lost" or something with Eve in it, so I could get my hopes up about a new Parasite Eve for no good reason.

I feel like after parasite eve 3 they should stay away from it forever

[krissy]

I mean I'd like another or a nice reboot of the first but I feel like if anything doesn't work with kingdom hearts crap that they're putting into everything is pe

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Yeah, that's why I included "for no good reason". If I thought they were dusting off the franchise, I'd be equal parts excited and concerned.

I expected like a crap roche side story

instead we're getting another remake and this one also looks cute and chill and contains all the stories?? super happy

[Aulayna]

Yeah I'm kinda here for this mobile version. FFXV Pocket Edition was surprisingly fun, so this seems like a good way of retelling the story of the compilation without doing full-blown AAA remakes/remasters of Crisis Core etc.

[Wolf Kanno]

Not terribly impressed here, but not like anyone expected me to be. Hard pass on the re-release with the Yuffie side content. The Pocket edition looks cute though but the rest don't sound like anything I'm remotely interested in. I think I learned my lesson from the first Compilation and will just ignore this.

[Shiva95]

I hope they will put Ever Crisis on the Switch, like they did with FFXV Pocket Edition!

Actually mildly more excited for Ever Crisis than Remake Part 2. First time we get to play Before Crisis AND a playable Advent Children?!?!?

Sign me Up!!

I wouldn't count on it, personally. Didn't they say Ever Crisis is going to be episodic? It might be playable bits and pieces of each story, or they might even get bored and stop making it half-way through.

I'd be keen to play Crisis Core and a remake of the original pre-rendered FFVII too, but I just don't have any confidence in the people making it.

I was kinda hyped until it said "Features the entire compilation of FFVII". I've already learned my lesson about being hyped for FF7 spinoffs the first time around.
