In Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, players embark on an intense battle royale experience where they must fight to be the last SOLDIER standing. To do so, players will use magic and special abilities along with ranged and melee weapons to triumph on the battlefield. Players can choose between various styles, such as Warrior, Sorcerer or Monk, each of whom boast unique special abilities. In addition to other SOLDIER candidates, players must also contend with ferocious monsters who inhabit the outskirts of the city. By defeating them, players can gain experience needed to level up and unlock new weapons. Classic Final Fantasy elements abound in the game, such as rideable chocobos, powerful espers, including Ifrit, to summon and materia, which enables players to cast devastating spells. Players can customize their characters' outfits and accessories, obtain various weapon and vehicle skins, emotes and more to create their own unique SOLDIER.
Narratively, The First Soldier takes place prior to the events of Final Fantasy VII. Thirty years before FFVII's story, the Shinra Electric Power Company began Project 0, which aimed to develop the most elite fighting force ever known. Several years and countless casualties later, their goal remained unrealized, but after twelve years, the program finally saw the creation of SOLDIER, an experimental corps of enhanced fighters. In First Soldier, the SOLDIER you create enters a virtual recreation of Midgar to hone their skills and rise through the ranks.
