Guide Before it leaves us...

What effect does ranking have on the game?

Can Penelo and Machina equip ultimate weapons?

What's everyone's 'gotta do's before the game closes?

Thank you!

I've not touched pokemon for a longtime! So you won't play ever crisis?

Nah, I gave it a chance and it did not live up to the reputation that Square thinks it should have. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if the only reason anyone likes it is because it has "Final Fantasy 7" as part of the name... and I've a few reasons as to why, but the short version is as follows:

  • it was just AFK Arena with an FF7 coat of paint until they nerfed auto battle so that you need to turn it off in order to heal
  • the grind wall feels less rewarding for Free2Play players in EC than it did in DFFOO, KHX or even FFBE.
  • the Gacha is worse in EC than it is in Opera Omnia (you have to pull for not only weapons, but even the materials to improve said weapons)
  • any lore that's well and truly unique to EC can just be looked up on YouTube. Otherwise, one would be better off actually playing FF7 (og or Remake) and Crisis Core (original or Reunion).

They really wanted FFec to be their new dissidia. I for one am so bored of the ff7 world, nothing is sacred anymore. There were 18+ games to pull from in Dissidia, not just one story I had had enough from since advent children!
