The sadness and uncertainty of a destroyed community: The final days of Final Fantasy 7 The First Soldier

[ad_1]

Earlier this week, Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier was shuttered. This left the last remaining players mourning the loss of their favourite battle royale, lamenting for the small but enraptured community around it, and grieving the friendships formed within it.

The game, first announced at Tokyo Game Show 2021, had an unofficial Reddit now swamped with final posts, screenshots of characters, and a pinned thank you message to the hundreds of fans present there. We reached out to some of them to hear their stories, and get some insight into how they spent their last day with Square Enix’s doomed battle royale.

“I have always been a fan of Final Fantasy, 7 included, but I can’t quite put my finger on why I was attracted to this game,” writes Richard, an American streamer who jumped into The First Soldier when it launched November 17, 2021. “I hadn’t played a battle royale game before this point, either. I couldn’t get any of my friends to play it as they immediately disregarded it for being such a drastically different take for a Final Fantasy.”
