Despite only being released a few months ago,Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisisis already being hailed by someFinal Fantasyfans for fleshing out the game’s world, especially when it comes to fan-favorite character Sephiroth. The first three chapters have already further elaborated on the characters' backgrounds while staying faithful to the pace of the original game, such as howChapter 3 shows details of Sephiroth and his motherearly in the story.

However, there are also some fans who are concerned about howEver Crisis’s story progression is faster than theRemakeseries, with post-Midgar events already happening in the game beforeFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthreleases in 2024.
