The Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis Steam store page has gone live today, revealing the system requirements for the mobile game released a few weeks back worldwide. The system requirements are particularly undemanding, which is expected for a game originally released on mobile devices. Given how an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 / Intel Core i5-6400 CPU, 8 GB RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 460 / Intel Arc™ A380 / NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 950 GPU are recommended to run the game, it should have no trouble running decently on a wide range of system configurations.

New Final Fantasy VII Rebirth details have emerged online thanks to the game's ESRB rating, which also suggests how Costa del Sol may be hotter than expected in the second entry in the series. While the ESRB rating summary doesn't exactly reveal much that was unknown or unexpected (a character getting impaled with a sword shouldn't be any surprise for anyone who played the original), it has revealed some suggestive dialogues (“Just admit it. You're obviously captivated by my bodacious beach bod.") accompanied by close-ups of characters' bodies and outfits. As the mention of the beach seems to hint at […]
