Square Enix registered a number of Final Fantasy VII related trademarks at the end of last year, which have only just been made public. As reported by Gematsu, the trademarks include "Ever Crisis", "The First Solider", and the logo for Shinra — the power company that's wrecking the planet in Cloud and co.'s adventure.
Naturally, these trademarks have already sparked much speculation. Some think that they could point to DLC for Final Fantasy VII Remake, while others reckon that they could have something to do with additional projects set within the Final Fantasy VII universe. Whatever these trademarks turn out to be, this certainly won't be the last that we hear of them.
It's also worth remembering that Final Fantasy VII Remake will supposedly launch on platforms other than PS4 later this year, as that's when the Sony's exclusivity deal runs out. It could be that the trademarks have something to do with Remake's resurgence.

Ever Crisis sounds like the most mobile Game ever
I really doubt this will amount to anything big.
Hopefully a Ever Crisis is a Crisis Core/Before Crisis remaster or remake double pack, but probably not.
@IonMagus 100%
Just wish they would give us a PS5 upgrade of FF7R (at least 60fps would be nice)
Unless it comes bundled with the PC complete edition, pass. Learned my lesson the hard way with FF7R on PS4 Pro.
I’d lap up a Crisis Core remake- I completely missed it the first time round.
Wouldn’t be suprised if they di this to capitalise on the success of FF7: Remake.
Another vote hoping for crisis core
Knowing Square, these probably are not even game related. They love to jump head first into multi-media projects after all.
Either they're about to start a whole new Compilation series in the Remake continuity or it's (more likely) going to be DLC that probably releases when the game goes multiplatform since the PlayStation agreement is almost up
Ever Crisis sounds more spinoff-y than The First SOLDIER though
@IonMagus Ever Crisis sounds like any Final Fantasy game in development.
Having DLC for a multi part sounds incredibly weird to me, but it's Square, so it could be anything.
I suppose a CC remake of some kind (or at least a DLC styled episode) wouldn't be terrible.
The time waiting for FF7R to release was an Ever Crisis.
Seems to confirm they're continuing Compilation of Final Fantasy VII since it fits the previous pattern:
Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus...Ever Crisis, but as previously stated it's more than likely a mobile game.
Please not more Compilation. Crisis Core is the only good thing to come from that and even then, it has its share of problems.
Hopefully a next gen patch along with the other console/pc release.
Ever Crisis fits in with FFVII Compilation naming schemes.
AC: Advent Children
BC: Before Crisis
CC: Crisis Core
DC: Dirge of Cerberus
EC: Ever Crisis
@TheFrenchiestFry my guess would be this Ever Crisis thing is a continuation of the original compilation, wrapping things up after Dirge and leading into the Remake continuity.
@PLATINUM7 never noticed that, so the next will be f***ing Crisis... or more likely just final Crisis 😅
I’d rather they work on getting Part II out.
I seriously love FFVII Remake. It’s absolutely fantastic, despite going full Nomura towards the end.
But I’m ready to explore Junon. The Midgar Zolom. The Gold Saucer. FFVII isn’t my favorite FF game, but it was one of the two that got me into the franchise as a kid. FF Tactics being the other one.
@TheRedComet I think the ghosts are done, they're already defeated so they can't change cloud adventure anymore, but because of their meddling the story is changed now, and maybe the future story isn't like the old game anymore.
That's both scary and exciting 😃
Ff tactics is awesome, I want fft remaster with 4K resolutions for ps4/5.
@Orpheus79V Looking more deeply into it it looks like the Ever Crisis naming fits in too well to the other titles in the Compilation series
Apparently despite the recasted VAs the original voice actors for the Compilation titles are still under contract to reprise their roles in everything that isn't FFVII Remake-related, so it could just be that they want to continue telling stories in the original timeline without having it connect or interfere with Remake and its continuity
I would happily buy and play either a new or remastered FFVII game. I absolutely loved the FFVIIR game. However, I am not into mobile games. Unless it's on a console I will not play it. Mobile games are not as popular here in the US as they are in Japan and over seas
With all the "Crisis" subtitles, I think square needs to learn a thing or two about crisis management.
Will it be free, since I already paid for FFVII? If not, ***** off.
