Sepreth(@Sepreth):FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS has ended service. Square Enix shut the global and Japanese versions down on Oct. 6, 2026, a little under three years after the September 2023 launch. No offline version came with the farewell. Producer Shoichi Ichikawa said the team could not keep the quality expected of a Final Fantasy VII title. The stated problem was the cost of character weapons and gear against demand, plus keeping the visuals high without one party dominating. So the servers did not die in silence. The producer said the gear stopped paying for the standard the name required.
