Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is gearing up for a major update this spring, with a new livestream scheduled for April 24th. While the stream will largely recap content from a previous Japanese-exclusive broadcast, it still offers valuable insight into the upcoming Ever Crisis Academy event—an all-new themed experience set to launch on April 29th.
This quirky event reimagines iconic characters from the Final Fantasy VII universe in a lighthearted twist: as students in a Japanese high school. Think Cloud as a rebellious delinquent and Barrett wielding an oversized fan instead of his signature arm cannon—each character gets a playful makeover that leans into rom-com visual novel tropes.
The April 24th livestream promises to deliver a deeper look at what players can expect from the Academy event, including gameplay mechanics, story elements, and exclusive cosmetic rewards.
