Everything You Need To Know About Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier, Updated July 7, 2021



Final Fantasy VII First Soldier Closed Beta

The closed beta for Final Fantasy VII First Soldier is over, but there’s more to come as the game will be released later this year. During our time with the beta there was a lot to learn about what Square Enix is looking to create with this new title. You can read about our hands-on time with the game here.

If you’re simply eager to learn all there is to know so far about the game though, that’s what this guide will essentially break down. Keep in mind that Square Enix may even reveal more about the game at its E3 showcase happening on June 13.

With that said, this post will be updated regularly. As Square Enix releases new information about the game or as new features are added. For now, here’s everything you need to know about Final Fantasy VII First Soldier.

What is Final Fantasy VII First Soldier?

Final Fantasy VII First Soldier Closed Beta 1

Final Fantasy VII First Soldier is a new game from Square Enix set in the Final Fantasy VII universe. It’s a battle royale game that features high-stakes multiplayer, blending elements of Final Fantasy combat with the fast-paced action of a battle royale shooter like PUBG, Fortnite and other similar games in the genre.

It’s one of two new mobile titles that will be part of the Final Fantasy VII universe that Square Enix is currently working on.

Will there be a beta?

Square Enix recently held a closed beta that ended on June 8. It hasn’t said that there would be any more closed beta tests. It also hasn’t said anything about open beta tests. So there is a possibility that more tests could happen but there’s no guarantee as Square Enix has not confirmed either way.

When is Final Fantasy VII First Soldier releasing?

Sometime in 2021. Square Enix hasn’t confirmed an exact release date for the game. But seeing as it just went through a closed beta period, chances are the launch isn’t too far off. The game could release sometime this Summer. Although it could also release later in the year.

Will the game have a battle pass?

There wasn’t a battle pass in the closed beta, but it’s highly likely that Square Enix will include one down the line. Potentially during another test or when the game officially launches later this year.

It would be pretty weird for there not to be a battle pass too, as this is a battle royale game and battle passes are more or less mainstays of games in the genre. In fact battle passes are fairly common across a whole slew of games on mobile. Even outside of battle royale titles.

That being said, we can’t guarantee that Final Fantasy VII First Soldier will have a battle pass. It’s simply a logical move for Square Enix to include it, so we’re speculating that there will be one.

Does Final Fantasy VII First Soldier have micro transactions?

Probably. The game does have a shop where you can buy things. This was available in the closed beta and there was a daily rotation of new items being made available. Though the shop definitely didn’t feel like it was up to scale for what will be offered in the full version of the game.

Once the game is officially available, expect there to be many more items you can purchase within the shop. Also worth noting is that the shop in the closed beta only allowed players to spend Gil to make purchases. Players should also expect though, that there will be various other ways to buy items, including real money, once the game goes live.

During the beta, you could buy costumes and weapon skins with Gil. There’s no way to know if these things will cost other types of currencies once the game is out though.

How do I earn Gil in the game?

Gil is the official currency within Final Fantasy games. And it has a place here too. To earn Gil in Final Fantasy VII First Soldier, you can do a number of different things. You will earn small amounts of Gil by completing matches.

But you can also earn Gil by completing tasks. Some tasks will require you to kill a certain amount of monsters and this can be spread out over multiple matches. Other tasks will require you to kill a certain number of other players, but you will have to do so within a short time period in a single match.

You will also earn small amounts of Gil when you level up. There is a possibility that you can earn Gil in other ways too, that perhaps weren’t present during the closed beta.

What is combat like?

Final Fantasy VII First Soldier Closed Beta 9

Combat is a mix of your typical battle royale shooter game and elements of newer Final Fantasy games in the mainline series that feature action RPG combat. Your main weapons will be a plethora of guns and other things you can shoot enemies with.

But you will also be able to fight with melee weapons like daggers, swords, staves and your fists. You can also use magic abilities by finding and equipping different types of materia.

Since this is a battle royale game, you will drop into the map, a section of Midgar, and you will need to scavenge the areas around you for useful weapons and items. All while trying to fight off other players who are trying to be the last person standing to win the match.

You can battle it out against players or monsters

While the meat and potatoes of the combat revolves around defeating other players, there are other ways to level up too. In each match you will find tons of monsters across the map that you can fight.

These will be monsters from various games in the series, so Final Fantasy fans should be familiar with many of them. Though you won’t want to spend all of your time fighting with monsters, because that means you aren’t paying attention to other players.

And constantly having shootouts or battles with non-player enemies is an easy way to draw attention to yourself. Especially when the best way to win is to try and get the drop on other players before they get the drop on you.

Does Final Fantasy VII First Soldier have jobs?

Final Fantasy VII First Soldier Closed Beta 13

Just like other Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy VII First Soldier will offer jobs. Although they’re not actually called jobs in this game. Instead they’re called Styles, and there are four different styles to choose from.

This includes the Warrior, the Ranger, the Monk, and the Sorcerer. One thing to keep in mind is that there are a lot of different job types within the Final Fantasy franchise. So there is a possibility that Square Enix will add more at some point down the line.

A pretty strong possibility at that, as this is one way Square Enix could introduce fresh content. By giving players more styles to check out and level up on their way to mastery of each one.

Each style can also unlock new abilities and skills as you level up that style. So there’s incentive to try out all of them and play with each one as much as you can. As you never know which one you might like best and which one might feel the most powerful according to your own personal play style.

Is there any character customization?

There will be some character customization, but maybe not in the way some players are envisioning. You can’t create your character with the same depth you can in some other games. For instance, you can’t change things like the width and size of eyes, cheekbone height, body type and size, etc. like you’re able to in games like Black Desert Mobile.

You can however choose between both male and female characters. And there will be costumes you can apply to your characters, whether you unlock them or purchase them through the shop as they become available.

The game will also have emotes that you can initiate, with the possibility to unlock and acquire more through various means. So your character can not only look stylish, but it can also engage in some friendly taunting.

Can you customize weapons?

It does not look like you can customize weapons to a very high degree. However there is some customization. It won’t be to the scale that you find in games like Call Of Duty: Mobile. But there are weapons skins to acquire. Both for the guns and the melee weapons.

Some of these you will probably be able to unlock, while others you will have to buy from the specialty shop. This appears to be the extent of weapon customization within the game.

Can you pilot vehicles like in other battle royale games?

You certainly can. In fact there are more than just your standard vehicles. You’ll find familiar looking vehicles like Shinra helicopters and motorcycles, as well as jeep-style all terrain vehicles, and even chocobos.

Because it wouldn’t be a Final Fantasy game without chocobos. There could be more vehicles added to the game later on, but as of now only these four options are present.

How many players will be allowed in a match?

Final Fantasy VII First Soldier Closed Beta 12

Matches in Final Fantasy VII First Soldier will support up to 75 total players. The goal obviously being to be the last one alive so you can achieve victory.

How many match types does the game have?

There will be a handful of different match types within the game that players can engage in. This includes tutorial matches, where you can more or less practice your skills a little bit against NPC players, as well as standard matches against live players, and then ranked matches against live players.

You will not be required to play ranked, but there could end up being rewards for leveling up in that match type so it might be worth considering.

Does Final Fantasy VII First Soldier include a chat system?

Yes, there is a chat system. This can be accessed both from the game’s home screen, and probably within matches, with the ability to add emoji into messages.

Where is the game going to be available?

Final Fantasy VII First Soldier Closed Beta 9

Square Enix hasn’t put out a definitive list of all the regions and countries where Final Fantasy VII First Soldier is being released. But this will be a globally available game, so it will be landing in North America and Japan, and likely many countries in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and parts of Central and Southeast Asia.

What are the device requirements to play?

You won’t need a gaming phone like the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate to play, but Square Enix has designed the game with a recommended set of specifications. For Android, you will need a device that is running on Android 7.1 or later.

It’s also recommended that the device you use has at least 3GB of available memory. Square Enix says these are tentative requirements and that they could change upon the game’s official release. So keep this in mind when it launches later this year.

Also worth noting is that while you won’t need a top-tier phone to play, having one will certainly afford you better visuals and frame rates.

Does Final Fantasy VII First Soldier have controller support?

The closed beta didn’t show any evidence of official controller support, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any or that it wasn’t there. Presumably, this is something that Square Enix has at least considered and may be working on.

But as of now there’s no confirmation on whether or not the game will support controllers. Another thing to consider is that even if it doesn’t officially support controllers, there will be ways to make controllers work.

Just one example is the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate and its compatible version of the Kunai gamepad. As you would be able to map in-game actions to the buttons on the gamepad. If official controller support does arrive, expect it to work with the Xbox Wireless controller as well as controllers like the DualShock 4 and DualSense controller, in addition to a range of mobile-specific controllers like the Razer Kishi.
