Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier kicks off its first season today with a host of new features and rewards. Some of the most exciting additions include a new map, style, Materia, new weapons, and Sephiroth skins.
Dubbed Midgar (Plateside), the new map will allow players to fight across familiar Final Fantasy VII Remake locations such as Mako Reactor Core 1, Sector 8, and the Autobahn. The new Machnist style basically turns you into an engineer with a giant hammer. The new water matter can bind to other players and attack in an arc, meaning if used correctly you can hit players hiding behind cover.
It doesn’t matter in gameplay, but you can also unlock new Sephiroth skins, but much of this content is locked behind loot boxes and randomness. You are not guaranteed to unlock the Sephiroth content by progressing through the Season Pass. See below for more details on the new content.
