Endless Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-

Endless Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- is an episodic role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows. It is a direct sequel to Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- and part of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

Gameplay
Endless Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- is a role-playing game designed for mobile phones. Players can adjust settings, graphical quality, and controls at any time. The main protagonist, Genesis Rhapsodos, is controlled directly as he navigates the Lifestream and Gaia, which is referred to in-game as "the Planet." Eventually, a fast-travel system is unlocked that enables Genesis to quickly return to any location he has previously visited.

Many features in Endless Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-, such as the leveling system and exploration methods, are similar to those from other Final Fantasy titles. Genesis can talk to non-player characters, interact with his environment, and battle enemies. He can be customized through various means, such as by equipping accessories, and he can undertake Missions From the Planet to earn additional rewards.

Battle system
Endless Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- utilizes a real-time combat system in which players tap their screens to have Genesis perform various actions. Unlike other entries in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, battles in this game do not involve Materia. Instead, Genesis receives Gifts of the Goddess, which bestow buffs and determine which actions he can take. Genesis must also deal with Cruel Fates, status ailments and other limitations. Should Genesis remain in the deity Minerva's favor, Gifts of the Goddess will become more potent, stackable, and frequently given. Conversely, if Genesis falls out of Minerva's favor, the Cruel Fates from which he suffers grow more dangerous. By completing Missions From the Planet and gaining SOLDIER Honor, Genesis can act with greater autonomy against his foes.

Growth system
After battle, Genesis enters a world that exists within his mind. Here, he can read the various Tomes and Scripts he has collected on his journey to increase his stats and learn new abilities.

Setting
Endless Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- begins immediately after the events of its predecessor, Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-, conclude. The game takes place primarily within the Lifestream, the river of life that flows beneath the planet Gaia's surface.
