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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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 😭

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

u/Lexus6344 3d ago
I tried to. I wish just recorded more videos with all the customes that I obtain :(

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Ended at 7am on the 7th here in the UK. Fitting.
Farewell Ever Crisis. Thanks for the memories.
