FFVII Ever Crisis Monster Hunter Event Features Rathalos

Square Enix and Applibot announced that there will be a Monster Hunter crossover event in FFVII Ever Crisis. It will begin worldwide on May 30, 2024.

A first teaser trailer appeared hinting at the Monster Hunter elements we’ll see integrated into FFVII Ever Crisis. Things begin with a Rathalos appearing. Cloud then shows up to attack, and he’s dressed as a Hunter and wielding a Buster Sword that resembles weapons from Capcom’s series. After Cloud attacks the Rathalos, Zack appears. He’s also wearing Monster Hunter armor and wielding a Buster Sword that looks like it was crafted in one of those games. After the start date of the event appears, we see a Palico appearing alongside a Chocobo. 

Here’s the full teaser:

This will mark the first crossover with a game series Square Enix doesn’t own in the game. Previously, we’ve typically only seen events that remain within the Final Fantasy and Square Enix family. The major one involved a number of characters getting to dress up as and fight enemies from FFIX.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for PCs and mobile devices worldwide. The Monster Hunter FFVII Ever Crisis event will begin on May 30, 2024.
