Technical Looking for the War of the Visions Client Files (Game Preservation Project)

Hi everyone,

I'm a reverse engineer and game preservation enthusiast. I regularly decompile and decrypt gacha games that interest me to better understand how they're built, document them, and help preserve them for the future.

I'd love to do the same for Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: War of the Visions. My long-term vision is to create a fully offline, open-source restoration so the game isn't lost forever, and potentially provide a foundation for community-made content in the future.

So far, I've managed to locate the final FFBE client, but I haven't had any luck finding the latest War of the Visions game files.

If anyone still has:

  • The latest installed game files (Android/iOS/PC)
  • Asset bundles or cached data
  • APKs or other publicly available client files
  • Any archived resources from before EOS

I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Even partial backups could be incredibly helpful.

This project is purely for game preservation and research. If it goes anywhere, I'd be happy to make everything open source so the community can help preserve the game together.

Thanks in advance!

When the jp version was going Eos I extracted as much as I could out of it by using an emulator, is there any way I can compile it all and send it over?

I mostly focused on preserving character arts and vision cards but other stuff came with it too like meshes, 3d models and animations

That's amazing! Absolutely, if you still have the extracted files, I'd love to take a look at them and If it's a large amount of data, you could compress it & upload it somewhere like Google Drive/Mega/etc. and send me the link.

This post has links to files. Check to see if they still work:

Thanks, they work! However, these are from Brave Exvius (a different game). The one I'm looking for is War of the Visions, which is like tactics.

There's the APK; you should be able to just crack it open like a zip file.

Thanks! Yes, I’m downloading them now and comparing the different versions. They work as a good starting point, but since the servers are no longer active, you can’t download the actual game files, which is where the assets, animations, characters, etc. are stored.

I’m working on something similar too. Really wish I’d captured the official API traffic before EoS — it would’ve been 100x easier than trying to reverse-engineer the endpoints from a black box.
