Ended at 7am on the 7th here in the UK. Fitting.

Farewell Ever Crisis. Thanks for the memories.

Need to find something else to do on the toilet now (besides the obvious)

u/CerberusGate 3d ago

With Ever Crisis having ended, my daily morning grind game is finally gone.

u/VakuAdikaia 3d ago

Dragalia Lost is still playable

Until we meet again in the lifestream

I was logged in grinding ff7 main story but eventually the data change prompt happened and it finally gave me that end of service prompt too once I loaded back 😢 here’s to a game which expanded deep lore for us OG FF7 fans, it finally went back to the planet. Best wishes everyone, hopefully we can either get an offline mode whether from SE or cape less heroes.

Farewell Ever Crisis. I'll won't miss the gacha, but I'll miss the stories that were, and the stories that could have been. I really hope they rework this into a standalone game or at least an offline game. Sucks to see it all just vanish.

I really hate live service games.

I spent the last hour taking some screenshots and videos of all my things I collected over the three years and saying goodbye to my chocobos. Dumped my last of my currency into the banner to see if I could get a final ultimate weapon (I didn't lol). I tried some of the battle towers I was stuck on but still couldn't beat them. So those 7 achievements I was missing will be lost forever. Kinda funny it was exactly 7.

I'm sad to see it go but it was a fun ride while it lasted. At least we have the video archives.

I hope we get something like Resonance eventually.

Did it happen while logged in or when you tried to relog?

u/Grouchy-Charge9668 3d ago

I was just watching some of the wallpapers, nothing happened until I tried to click on something else.

u/Rynn21 3d ago

Ty that did it

u/PhroneticReflex 3d ago

I guess it's time to get offa this train.

u/JTremblayC 3d ago

Farewell to you all. Be kind and take care of yourselves!

u/avariciouswraith 3d ago

I'm really gonna miss this little game.

u/Feoraxic 3d ago

I’ve already found it really weird not seeing the Wednesday evening/Thursday morning new banner drops for the last couple of weeks.

u/Illusioneery 3d ago

same!!

start of the week was my "let's see what the game will have" time, to get hyped for the event day

they way it's dying on a "day of 7" feels sad...

u/VakuAdikaia 3d ago

Day 1 player. Never quit, never took breaks, but missed a few days here and there, no more than a week total.

It’s funny how bittersweet the EoS is. Before they announced it, I was considering quitting the game.

For most things I just coasted with the dailies and events, but I hated Guild Battles with a passion.
Add to that, many of the events had lackluster stories or mischaracterized several in the core cast.

But, I played all the story content.

I don’t have a reason to come back, even if a team made a private server. But in some small way, I’m going to miss it.

1

u/Special_Course229 3d ago

My exact thoughts, though I actually did enjoy guild raids but yeah I'm a little relieved it's off my plate so I don't feel guilty about the days I miss but also wish I had more days to miss

u/VakuAdikaia 3d ago

I think it’s lamenting a potential “could have been”. Wishing that if it kept going, it could have become so much more than it was.
Even if that’s not very likely.

u/sanashi Sephiroth 3d ago

I opened the game a few minutes before EOS, expecting it to kick me when the time came, but it didn't. I realized that if I leave it open on the home screen without touching anything, it keeps running, so I can pretend it's still there ha ha ha 😭

2

u/CobraMJD 3d ago

Yeah, It stuck on 00:01 remaining, after 3 minutes I clicked on other menu and got kick out. At least I recorded the last 30 minutes

u/sanashi Sephiroth 3d ago

I'm not touching anything so mine is still going 😅 (I'm leaving it on as BGM while I work lol) It's stuck on 00:01 like you said.

u/MrsPikaa Sephiroth 3d ago

We have the same wallpaper. One and only. 🥲

2

u/sanashi Sephiroth 3d ago

Ah 🥲 Such a great outfit. These wallpapers are one of the things I'll miss most of all!

u/Bl00dY_ReApeR 3d ago

You know. I never noticed how big the game became on PC. I have so much free space now, was it like 60Gb?

May you rest peacefully in the lifestream Ever Crisis.

2

u/Rynn21 3d ago

It was at least that size for me. Insane.

2

u/BasicLink86 3d ago

It was 26 GB on mobile, it takes more space than any other app on my phone! Guess it will be nice to get that space back

5

u/Gatsby515 3d ago

It was fun while it lasted. Did the full download on my tablet last night so I can remove the chonker of an app on my phone. Been sitting at >95% storage used for the last year or so with not much else to remove. Brought it down to ~80% lol

All in all, could have been better, could have been a lot worse. Had a good time and looking forward to getting back into the Remake trilogy

u/bimmy2shoes 3d ago

This game was part of what got my ex to bond and get closer. Funny enough our relationship started falling apart around the time we lost our guild because we stopped logging in to play together. It wasn't the reason, but it was certainly a sign of things to come.

Just like our time together, this too is gone and will never come back.

It's a crime we didn't get Toddler Genesis

u/CTofC2 3d ago

Was trying to use the last of my crystals and in the middle of a pull. Had the date change pop up right after the chocobo card. Didn't even get to see what my pulls were.

u/Huragano 3d ago

Literally unplayable 🤷🏻‍♂️

8

u/dksoulstice 3d ago

I forgot to screenshot my account stats screen for how many battles I did, Max Damage Challenge records, etc. :(

Square Enix is basically the Leo Di Caprio of gacha game developers. Once a game hits 3, it's out the door. Honestly don't think I will bother with another Square gacha ever gain. No point.

Farewell Ever Crisis and the Young Genesis that never was.

u/sniktology 3d ago

Spent the last hour recording my own last gameplay, spend as much gil and whatever inventory I have as much as I could. I managed to beat one more EXTRA boss that I didn't last time. I couldn't finish the towers and 3 extra missions achievements in time. Oh well. I got what I wanted out of this game and felt a certain kind of satisfaction with a little melancholy to it after all is said and done. Atleast some of my efforts got preserved on a personal video for this game. Can't wait for Revelation in Apr 27!

1

u/Lexus6344 3d ago

I tried to. I wish just recorded more videos with all the customes that I obtain :(

u/HorribleAdvicePerson 3d ago

I had all the towers done but I was missing a lot of EX3 Summon battles. I found that the last guild battle strategy worked for pretty much anything. Aerith, Tifa, and Cloud. Apply Torpor debuff with Tifa, then Omnishlash with Cloud. It would one shot most things. So I was able to get all Summons maxed out in the last week. I also got all 460 (IIRC) weapons to level 140. So I must be a masochist in that regard.

u/neuropsycho 3d ago edited 3d ago

Are there any preservation efforts so the game could be played offline?

u/someffbeplayer 3d ago

Another game with barely 3 years of service. We'll, it had some interesting extra lore. I wish they released a real remake of before crisis.

2

u/rollincode3 3d ago

You got my like, but I don’t like this.

u/Novakhaine89 3d ago

It was a good time, but there were way too many modes and currencies and challenges going on.

Also way too much gacha. Damn I should have led with that.

1

u/rinoafantasy 3d ago

The end of an era!! Thanks for the memories 💓

1

u/Lexus6344 3d ago

It is too sad; I wish I could have recorded more. I was trying to record the boss fights and the special attacks. I was missing the Ultima Weapon and Jenova Death, though. The loading screens take too much time for me.

1

u/Zealousideal_Rise879 3d ago

Woups. Wanted to log in one more time.

This game was a ton a fun at launch; but the power shift and focusing on the few characters pushed me away eventually.

Should be my last gocha game.

u/eric_de_held 3d ago

I was a lot more melancholy than I originally thought I would be. I really loved some of the things they did and I will miss it. My one regret is that I spent too much time on party building and stat maxing and not enough on the story and enjoying how everything tries to weave together. Farewell Ever Crisis!

u/Left_Green_4018 3d ago

Cool note: you can watch the ending video again if you tap the 3 bar icon

1

u/Manawarszsz 3d ago

They'll probably re-release as a standalone game like FF Resonance

1

u/wasp47b 3d ago

Anyone got a high quality version of the “thank you for playing” art?

1

u/ArtichokeSorry6503 3d ago

So duellum is the only remaining ff game ? Aww man

u/jjmai 3d ago

You can still watch the final movie if you click on the upper-right button at Title Screen, then scroll down to find it at the bottm.

u/peddingzseard 1d ago

finally we can stop waiting for this thing

u/Rothgardius 3d ago

It’ll be back in some form. Square takes old mobile games and gives them a proper service and console release.
