End of Service look like next

[Vox Populi]

They been end of Service lot of games

Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia - Feburary 29, 2024
Dragon Quest Tact - Feburary 29, 2024
Engage Kiss - March 29, 2024
Fullmetal Alchemist - March 29, 2024

My bet that Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and this Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis next more likely Spring/Summer 2024.

They knew mobile gaming isn't well. They screwed up excessive micro-transaction, they keep pop up every time you level up, or material, or dungeon unlock, or rank, etc to spend $$$. We not want it. I am sure there low percent willing but high majority doesn't.

Well Kudos, I can't wait Final Fantasy VII Rebirth coming soon, and I hope Final Fantasy VII The First Solider reborn to make lot better!

I think they close some of those games, like Opera Omnia (I don't understand why they would close FFDOO. I thought it made enough money with some whales and that the fanbase was happy) to extend the life of Ever Crisis as much as possible, and perhaps to centralize the players (it doesn't make much sense, but it is what it is).

I hate what they've done to FFBE because I've played it every day almost since its release (I gave up on that game a long time ago), but I'm surprised they're still keeping it alive.

I would pay 15-20 bucks to have the game playable E2E offline - hopefully with all the FF7 Story completed.
Or a monthly sub which makes the game playable in normal way - like with a sub you have unlimited Stamina, 2-3 times bigger XP etc gains etc.
Game can be turned around with a weeks worth of work - of course within a company who thinks and not the clown show which is SE.

Opera Omnia came out in 2017. Ever Crisis just came out three months ago. NO way theyre shutting EC down until at LEAST 2027

Ever Crisis didnt rank very high on the list of gacha game revenues, but it listed high enough to keep it going. And if they get smart with their pricing and designs, it can get better

MORE AWESOME ♥♥♥♥, MODERATELY LESS EXPENSIVE PLEASE

EC has at least 18 months before EOS is pondered if it doesnt get seriously reworked to gain and retain new players.

----------

Exvius got too big to shutdown now thats its got its own FF-free lore and lots of plotlines between story and events.

Whats more likely is it'll be turned into a degachafied version of the game. No more arena, some events become subquests, FF units all obtainable from a using gameplay points or coins, upgrade material demands drastically lowered or set to 0 (so people dont need to endlessly farm anymore), save data stored only locally.

Not easy doing this as a forced update, but given SE has the save data separate from BE's app, it could release a separate game with all the changes already made and just allow you to bring your compatible progression/unlocks into it as a one-way conversion before the gacha version gets delisted.

Unfortunately this is SE we are talking about - leave your common sense behind and shut the door firmly. NO way they will ever do something which is pro-customer or sensible.

Yes I have been given lots of feedback to alternative idea to "season pass" in 3 different (Standard/Premium/Ultimate) and farm materials to craft unlock gear/ weapons instead use too much gacha things, which like I really enjoy with The First Solider, they do unlock gear, skin, varies things for your avatar. In discord isn't help at all with Feedback. Lots of people offer other idea. They now added stimata through blue crystal/red crystal to buy it. It's really low number. well...

...You're literally suggesting instead of one season pass that has a free route and a paid route.... You want THREE forms of season pass? Wut..?

There's a simple reason why DFFOO is ending, and the dev team specifically stated it. Because they haven't got any further story content/additions to put out than what already exists. They've run out of things to do and it's become over-saturated and not possible to re-balance further. Tank empty, no more fuel. That's literally it.

Except Applibot also develop NieR Reincarnation, which is ongoing just fine.
They have explicitly stated Ever Crisis will have the enitre Compilation of FFVII, including Before Crisis, Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus on top of FFVII, Crisis Core, and First SOLDIER. This isn't new or unknown information. It's fact.

If I recall correctly, Gumi already asked in the past 2 years what form users would like EOS-like brave exvius be like.
Far from complete shutdown with delisting, it suggests they want their 'gumiverse' persisting so it can be leveraged in other games like WOTV - maybe even licencing their own characters for collab inclusion in other games like how SE did with its own FF characters.

A declaration of intent is meaningless if its not fulfilled. You should be familiar with this roadmap carrot strategy as a gacha player.

EOS is not always done due to failures but often to relaunch a codebase once its in a good state, like reskinned for a 'different' game. Its super common in china and korea where its sometimes used to go discretely go live with a prototype whose improvements get brought to the bigger markests afterwards - 'copycats' are not always clones.

as of right now, they have Boost Pass, Solider Pass and recently added Stamina Pass that's spilit up all 3 and they have bunch of scheme daily, memories, special and event special from quest, level , materia so forth whenever you unlock level 40 they pop up to say buy this and this until you hit lvl 50, pop up buy this then this too excessive microtraction. which why I suggest ideea 3 tier of season pass bundle. If you had discord, you able view feedback lots of players had different idea to share.

Blame the new China regulations. No daily login bonuses, limit to in game spending, and lots of other restrictions. Personally given up on these types of games after first RK then Tact got EoS service only for 15 more of these gatchas to pop up.

No blame Greed and Online Only Games. All of these issue where already present before the new Regulations where even talked about. The issue is the Systems, not Laws being put into place because of them.

The service just started, so it's probably not going to be terminated just yet... Unless it's actually a complete failure.
