FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS shuts down October 6 at 11 p.m. PDT

FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS will end service on October 6, 2026 at 11:00 p.m. PDT. The r/Games post links to Square Enix’s official notice, which sets out the shutdown schedule and paid currency handling. The end-of-service notice and Red Crystal sales stop both took effect on July 7, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. PDT. Players can continue using Red Crystals they already hold until the service closes.

The notice also gives the game’s operating timeline. The App Store and Google Play versions launched on September 7, 2023, and the Steam version followed on December 6, 2023. That puts the free-to-play RPG at roughly three years of service by the time it shuts down. Square Enix says it determined that continuing the service would be difficult, while noting that in-game events are still scheduled to release and update until the end date.

Refund details are limited by region. According to the official notice, refunds for unused paid Red Crystals will be available only to users residing in Taiwan, with more information to come in-game and on the official site. Square Enix also tells eligible users not to delete the app or switch devices and reinstall until the refund process is complete, because account verification will be required.

This story is tagged death:shutdown because the shutdown is the primary news. The practical player-facing details are the October 6 end time, the July 7 stop on paid currency sales, the Taiwan-only refund scope, and the warning that account information will be deleted after shutdown-related procedures are completed.
