The Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis roadmap back in September 2025 confirmed FFXIII elements would show up via a crossover event and costumes, and now we know when the crossover will appear in the FFVII spin-off. Everything starts on October 29, 2025. There will be a story event with Lightning as a boss fight, crossover events and costumes for Aerith and Tifa, we can earn the Army of One Enemy Ability, and Glenn can get gear and a weapon based on Snow. A trailer went over everything.
The Flash of Destiny FFXIII crossover event is confirmed to start in FFVII Ever Crisis the day everything starts. The story shows Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa encountering Lightning in what could be Nibelheim. Aerith suggests she might have met Lightning before. (This could be a reference to the Dissidia games.) Lightning also brings up Fal’Cie. The closing scene shows Lightning stating she has to fight them, and we get a glimpse at her in-battle.
The Panel Mission rewards should also be available right when everything starts. Glenn’s Snow gear and weapon both will be earned that way. Both pieces of equipment seem based on the character’s appearance in Lightning Returns: FFXIII. The Army of One Enemy Ability is also a Panel Mission reward.
Finally, both Aerith and Tifa will get a FFVII Ever Crisis equipment banner with weapons and gear costumes based on Lightning and her FFXIII look. We don’t know if this will be one banner with both or if they’ll be available on two separate banners. However, one daily free draw will appear while the event is live.
Here’s the full trailer for the event:
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for PCs and mobile devices, Final Fantasy XIII is on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, and the FFXIII crossover comes to the FFVII spin-off on October 29, 2025.
