Square Enix showed a new glimpse of Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis as part of its recent Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary stream, giving fans a new look at the mobile game's combat in action.

The new footage highlights the game's turn-based-combat, which looks to be inspired by the original Final Fantasy VII's Active Time Battle system and sports visuals similar to that of the recent Final Fantasy VII Remake. When out of combat, the game adopts a more stylized, top-down look reminiscent of the original Final Fantasy VII.
