Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is a free-to-play battle royale game. The plot is set 30 years before the events of Final Fantasy VII and is meant to show how the ‘SOLDIER’ program was established by The Shinra Electric Power Company. The story overall however is not very prominent and more of an excuse to have people shoot each other. And now you can shoot Cloud too!

Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier is available for iOS and Android mobile devices.
