The season of live streams continues, with major game releases teasing their upcoming updates through video showcases. Among these, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is set to hold its own Spring 2025 Update livestream on April 24th. Although this livestream is mainly a recap of an existing one, which was only available in Japanese, it's still an exciting event for fans.
This arrangement has given us our first major look at the upcoming Ever Crisis Academy event. In a delightful twist, this event casts the familiar faces of Final Fantasy VII as Japanese high-schoolers in a parody of rom-com visual novels. You'll see Cloud playing the role of a delinquent, while Barrett's iconic arm-cannon is transformed into a massive fan, showcasing hilarious and creative reimaginings of the beloved characters.
The Ever Crisis Academy event is scheduled to launch on April 29th, and the upcoming livestream on April 24th will provide an in-depth look at what fans can expect.

Final Fantasy VII has arguably never been more popular, with the franchise's history being enhanced by the ongoing release of the highly popular remake series by Square Enix. While some Western fans might find the visual novel-style event a bit unusual, it's undeniably entertaining to see these fan-favorite characters in a completely new light.
