New Crisis Core FFVII Trivia Explains the SOLDIER Recruitment Process

Square Enix shared brand new trivia on the official Final Fantasy VII Remake social media account detailing information about how SOLDIERs get recruited during Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. According to the developer, there are two main routes to recruit SOLDIERs for the Shinra Electric Power Company.

One pathway to being recruited into SOLDIER at Shinra is taking a public exam, which is the same test that Zack and Cloud took. The other pathway is a written exam that SOLDIER prospectives take. Even if a potential candidate can pass the written exam, what really matters is the physical fitness test. Anybody can become a SOLDIER as long as they have the physical and mental strength to withstand being exposed to Mako when injected.

1つはザックスとクラウドが受けた一般公募の試験です。筆記試験も行われますが、実は、重要なのは体力測定だけで魔晄の照射に耐えうる肉体と精神の強さがあれば誰でも受かるんですよ💪 pic.twitter.com/lSu2juV3CA
