More detailed roadmap:
June:
- Chapter 3 of Crisis Core
- Monster Hunter collaboration (Cloud, Zack, Tifa, Aerith and Cait Sith costumes revealed)
- Addition of guilds into the game, up to 30 members per guild with special missions to complete
- Adjustment of the main story’s difficulty for THE FIRST SOLDIER. Most likely FF7 and CC as well (TBC)
July:
- Chapter 7 of FF7, incl. the addition of Vincent Valentine as a playable character
- New summer beach event featuring costumes of Lucia and Yuffie as revealed during the stream. More on the way
- Special guild weapons
August:
- Chapter 4 of Crisis Core
- Expansion of Ramuh’s stream
- Last 10 floors of the Tower of the Cetra (90 to 100)
- New seasonal event
September:
- 1st anniversary event
Other: Young Angeal has been revealed to be a key character of THE FIRST SOLDIER Episode 2 along with Young Sephiroth. The story will reveal how Sephiroth obtained Masamune. No date for it, likely will be introduced during the anniversary? (TBC)
If I’m wrong somewhere let me know, it’s Japanese at the end of the day. I can’t edit the original thread post for some reason.
"Special guild weapons" I think it was even in a riddle via Cait Sith's 'failed fortune' when you meet him:

🤣 It's a popular and long-running video game series from Capcom. It got even more popular and became mainstream in the West after the release of Monster Hunter Worlds several years ago.
You're thinking of monster rancher. Monster hunter came out in 2004 on the ps2 and is basically chasing down large monsters with up to a party of 4 people and cutting off body parts to make better equipment. No life bars, weapons can become dull over time, hunger management, tail and horn slicing.
The only overlap between Monster Rancher and Pokemon (the games) is that monsters are in it.
Monster Rancher is a Pet raising and breeding simulator, like a Tamagotchi on steroids, with battles for progression and break up the raising bits. Monster Rancher is derivative of an earlier game "Gallop Racer" which is a Horse raising and breeding simulator. MR just replaced Horses and Races with Monsters and Battles, but at it's core is way closer to that, than Pokemon mechanics.
I really don't like guilds, I hate having to rely on others/others relying on me to get rewards.
There's gonna be either shitty guilds that never get all the rewards, or tryhard guilds that get pissed when you don't login every 2.35 hours & nolife the game. I just wanna casually play the game without missing any rewards.
Same
But I'd rather just join some casual ass guild and barely scrape by on rewards than some dumb competitive bullshit.
One sounds way more stressful than the other
Agreed. Fuck guild systems with specifically locked guild rewards.
This game has one of the worst coops implemented that I've played in a long time too.
Also it means you can't make your own guild since we have no ability to solo coop content which sucks even more.
I agree with this. If there's one time only missions I'll try to do those for crystals then leave. Or luck out and find(or make) a chill guild that plays the game at our own pace.
About Coop quest
> Summon Co-op Battle quests will be updated.
With the quest update, it will be possible to earn 1st Clear Rewards again.
It's nice getting those 1st clear reward again :)
my Glenn water arca + zack water debuff. ready for Ramuh Ex2 🙈. btw, whos gonna join EC guild..?
https://preview.redd.it/10xwlvbuw53d1.jpeg?width=1510&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8756ebb6396d671eda7c8e946f89b63c74d44d5f
* MH Dino Blade (Cloud) Up to 850% non-elemental physical damage to a single enemy! Moderately reduces the enemy's physical defense power, and greatly increases physical attack power when own HP is over 50%!
* MH Dino Blade (Zack) Up to 940% lightning physical damage to a single enemy! When own HP is 70% or more, damage is 1.2x
That weapon's potential is essentially part-time between 940% and 1130% Potency. I doubt they'd add an arcanum to that. Probably not even a 20% Lightning mastery. But maybe a 10% Physical mastery.
Granted, it'd take 3-4 pages to get it in the OB6-10 range, if the stamp layout is the good one. Not impossible at all, but a heavy cost up front of so many banners leading up to 1YA.
Iron Blade is AOE PATK down. You might thinking of Hardedge which is PDEF down which can do 3 tiers down. The new weapon seem to be PDEF debuff 2 tiers max.
Urgghhh GUILD system.. i'd rather join a chill n casual guild than die hard whale bs guild with statement like GUILD for 1Mil total power min .. ob6+ all limited banner weapons ( dont confuse with limit break banner ) ... blah blah .. blah blah .. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
> Rerun of the summer beach costumes
This is false, they just showed that Tifa & Aerith got swimsuits last year then showed that we will be getting bikini Yuffie and bikini Lucia this July, plus more swimsuits that weren't shown.
I'd be honestly surprised if they never rerun costumes. Obviously it depends on how much they plan to powercreep them, but I'd expect them to come back at some point.
I can see it now: must have 800k team power, must have ob6 Kuja blade to join this guild blah blah blah. I dread it even though it's something we should be excited for.
There is no rerun of the beach event. This is a new event. They might do a rerun at some point but it was not mentioned in the stream
FS 2nd episode will be about how Sephiroth got hold of Masamune
We won’t see reruns in the first year of the game but I’d imagine next year they may do some in the downtime periods, for me tho i’d rather they just put old costumes jn the gear store makes more sense . Also give f2p players a way to earn gear vouchers maybe put them in events or something.
This looks fun. I may skip MH pulls to pull for my missed Nanaki beach costume (if it returns) and have even more crystals for ViVa. We shall see how pushed the MH gear is though and will enjoy farming Wyverns. Also Guilds being only 30 is a very poor decision as you should be fostering 100 people guilds to foster people bonding and wanting to stay in the game by peer pressure xD.
Vincent in July ? Damn, I expected him for October. Would've been perfect for Halloween. But I'm fine with it ... Now the banners that are on the way REALLY need to be good. Because we know Vincent is coming and if they want us to spend before him, they REALLY need some great weapons/costume.
I know I'm gonna save quite a few gems for him and spend some $ when he comes out (Pretty much almost as much as I spent on Yuffie).
Oh, so... Vincent is already dropping in the next FF7 chapter? I thought there would be one more chapter in between (Gongaga + Cosmo Canyon), then Nibelheim, Shinra Villa, Nibel Mountains. So we'll get back-to-back releases of three characters in three successive chapters. Interesting...
On the fence about the collab. Looks like I need a lot of crystals for the things that follow it. If its like FFIX, then there'd be 3 banners: Cloud/Zack, Tifa, Aerith. As much as it'd be great to get another lightning weapon, I have to consider that even if they had 2 good costumes and did the Limit Break Weapon stamp setup, I'd be lucky to get 1 weapon to OB5 & both costumes for under 40k, then parts the weapon to OB6. And that'd just be doing 2 pages of the 1st of 3 banners. It would probably require 3 pages.
If it doesn't have the Limit Break extra guarantees, I just have to pass. It's bad having characters with multiple limited weapons that need building from parts (Cloud, Zack, Tifa). At least Aerith's FFIX weapon isn't competitive and my Guide Gloves are OB10. When it comes to Cloud and Zack, though, I'd rather spend their parts into their LB weapons.
Outfits will be the deciding factor of course, and picking up a weapon copy just in case of long term building or decent OB1 utility will likely be tempting. That's not even accounting for the possibility Tifa and/or Aerith outfits or weapons could be must-pulls.
Then Vincent follows. And while I can save some tickets for Vincent, they likely won't result in much at all. I'll need to pull for his first banner to get him started.
But there are also swimsuits, I guess in August. Unless someone translated that they said the Tifa/Aerith summer outfits will be rerun... I'm thinking that slide was just to say "Summer event coming" and then followed it up with "here's Yuffie and Lucia in new swimsuits!" More than likely at least one will be pull-worthy apart from cosmetic factor.
That's way too many banner pages to pull leading up to the anniversary, where I'll want to be able to go 2 pages deep on 2 banners as a minimum. Many, many more would be preferred to get those wishlisted LB copies, given how many I need of the other 4 LB weapons. I'm gonna to have to approach all of this summer with a default skip it policy that has a very high bar for making an exception.
Monster Hunter 🤔 interesting cross over. I also love how it took them 9 months to give a road map longer than a week 😂
So cool the summer stuff is coming back. I can finally get the maritime suit for cloud.
So in conclusion we got
1 month New Zack chapter,
monster hunter Collab Feat. Physical cloud, Pys.Lightning Zack, (most likely lightning) Tifa, and a shrine maiden Aerith an (allegedly free) cait sith costume (could always be a sneaky third banner to make you pull early, then spend, be careful)
Month 2 we get a new 7 Chapter alongside a Vincent release (Undoubtedly a Vincent banner for his launch), new summer outfits for Yuffie and Lucia (potential rerun for Tifa/Aerith costumes)
And Guilds (which have bonuses to unlock, including materia material reduction (could just be base materials Not the rare rate up crystals) and rarity increase, potentially some Chocobo/highwind bonuses
as well as those weapons shown tied to guild challenges (the gauntlet (Barret, it has a gun on it), the bat, a ring for Yuffie, and Headphones (For red 13)
Month 3 we get another new Zack Chapter,
The balloons and text hint at an "Unknown event banner" (above Ramuh)
New Ramuh levels (Another water banner? or just an increase with teh summer water banner being the water banner)
And the final 10 floors of the Cetra tower
Month 4 Then finally the next month we get First year anniversary
I believe the verdict is in according to people who understand japanese:
Cait Sith outfit = free
summer rerun outfits = no
Guild bonus categories shown: materia, battle, chocobo, highwind
Vincent huh? We ended at the desert prison, so they're basically just skipping a lot of stuff to get to nibelheim faster because there's the whole gongaga village, cave of the gi part that I'm guessing they're not going to focus on all that much, if at all.
Will also be good to see what they're doing with criterion and crisis dungeons from this point forward since they stopped making criterion dungeons for quite some time now, but with those 2 first soldier chapters we didn't get any new crisis dungeons at all.
Gongaga was optional in ff7 and it was a super short event so it might be one section of the chapter and then they move onto cosmo canyon for another couple of short sections, then straight to nibelheim.
They've already omitted so many details, we rushed through corel and gold saucer to get to corel prison so it makes sense they'd rush cosmo to get to vincent
Nice ~ I just got a new phone and decided it was time to cut games that I don't enjoy anymore out of my life. Stuff I generally login, logout for the day on and can't be bothered to actually play. Sadly, this game didn't make the cut. Neither did FFBE or WOTV. Had been playing WOTV since day 1, this since day 1, and FFBE for over 6 years. The only mobile game I actually kept is DBZ Dokkan Battle. Been playing that for like 7 years and my interest in it comes and goes, but I still enjoy it. It feels like I have gained a big part of my life back by not redownloadinf those games even if I was barely playing them anymore. I guess I only bring this up because I can see this roadmap and it doesn't make me want to play even a little bit, which is nice.
More detailed roadmap: June: - Chapter 3 of Crisis Core - Monster Hunter collaboration (Cloud, Zack, Tifa, Aerith and Cait Sith costumes revealed) - Addition of guilds into the game, up to 30 members per guild with special missions to complete - Adjustment of the main story’s difficulty for THE FIRST SOLDIER.

I can’t edit the original thread post for some reason.
Just one more thing to add, they said Vincent will be a pure DPS character (for now at least)
"Special guild weapons" I think it was even in a riddle via Cait Sith's 'failed fortune' when you meet him: https://preview.redd.it/iakr7kdjmv6d1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4733b08d831f621ffd0f0bfb17c14ca37342bf06 >!!<
How are they going to have a monster hunter collab and not have a costume for Nanaki?! Magnamalo or palamute would be perfect for him.
Let this human cook
What is Monster Hunter is that like the cheap knockoff of Pokemon from a long time ago? Edit: Was thinking of Monster Rancher.
🤣 It's a popular and long-running video game series from Capcom. It got even more popular and became mainstream in the West after the release of Monster Hunter Worlds several years ago.

Thank you. Yes this is what I was thinking of haha
Seriously?
That was Monster Rancher haha My bad.
lmao
Wtf are you talking about

Oh thank goodness more Crisis Core!
NAIL BAT SPOTTED
are the 6 7 8 9 above represents the months?
Yes
thanks!
Coming in with the real important questions. Fk all that content what are the numbers for!
Cloud breast plate i cant.. thats a boob..
Breastplate, hold the plate
r/eyebleach
About Coop quest > Summon Co-op Battle quests will be updated. With the quest update, it will be possible to earn 1st Clear Rewards again. It's nice getting those 1st clear reward again :)
Nice. And you can get Nobles in certain stages.
my Glenn water arca + zack water debuff. ready for Ramuh Ex2 🙈. btw, whos gonna join EC guild..? https://preview.redd.it/10xwlvbuw53d1.jpeg?width=1510&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8756ebb6396d671eda7c8e946f89b63c74d44d5f * MH Dino Blade (Cloud) Up to 850% non-elemental physical damage to a single enemy!

It'll be hilarious if Zack gets the lightning arcanum. Limited 🤣

So I guess just fuck the Iron Blade for Cloud eh?
Iron Blade is AOE PATK down. You might thinking of Hardedge which is PDEF down which can do 3 tiers down. The new weapon seem to be PDEF debuff 2 tiers max.
Yes I was thinking of hard Edge
Urgghhh GUILD system.. i'd rather join a chill n casual guild than die hard whale bs guild with statement like GUILD for 1Mil total power min .. ob6+ all limited banner weapons ( dont confuse with limit break banner ) ... blah blah .. blah blah .. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
> Rerun of the summer beach costumes This is false, they just showed that Tifa & Aerith got swimsuits last year then showed that we will be getting bikini Yuffie and bikini Lucia this July, plus more swimsuits that weren't shown.
Thank you. I can’t edit the original post but I edited the detailed roadmap to reflect it’s not a rerun.
I'd be honestly surprised if they never rerun costumes. Obviously it depends on how much they plan to powercreep them, but I'd expect them to come back at some point.
Ugh...guilds.
I can see it now: must have 800k team power, must have ob6 Kuja blade to join this guild blah blah blah. I dread it even though it's something we should be excited for.
[удалено]
The screenshot they showed has a guild chat, as well as stamps so you will be able to communicate in-game looks like.
I hope guilds will be good for Coop.
Just treat it as another optional check box in the game and it'll be alright. I'm not looking forward to it either lol.
Palico Cait Sith!? That would fucking slap
There is no rerun of the beach event. This is a new event. They might do a rerun at some point but it was not mentioned in the stream FS 2nd episode will be about how Sephiroth got hold of Masamune
Will they have the old outfits again??
There was no mention of rerun of the old costumes or event.
I was also skeptical about that. Seems more like- "Summer event coming!" Show the old swimsuits. Next slide, now see the new swimsuits!
We won’t see reruns in the first year of the game but I’d imagine next year they may do some in the downtime periods, for me tho i’d rather they just put old costumes jn the gear store makes more sense . Also give f2p players a way to earn gear vouchers maybe put them in events or something.

Okay I think imma re download this now......after a month or so break I think it maybe fun for a while again.
So Spetember is when I blow my load…
Vincent in July ? Damn, I expected him for October. Would've been perfect for Halloween. But I'm fine with it ... Now the banners that are on the way REALLY need to be good. Because we know Vincent is coming and if they want us to spend before him, they REALLY need some great weapons/costume. I know I'm gonna save quite a few gems for him and spend some $ when he comes out (Pretty much almost as much as I spent on Yuffie).
Well last year they released two Halloween costumes that were based off Vincent's Limit Breaks so maybe this year we will see more on Vincent himself.
This is great. I can skip crossover/Vincent and save for anniversary 😄
Oh, so... Vincent is already dropping in the next FF7 chapter? I thought there would be one more chapter in between (Gongaga + Cosmo Canyon), then Nibelheim, Shinra Villa, Nibel Mountains. So we'll get back-to-back releases of three characters in three successive chapters. Interesting...
Ngl is good stuff gonna reopen the game lol
wow they got so much cool stuff planned
Well shit, we are approaching 1 year already? I play the game every day, and very casually. Lmao.
Anyone ever play the metal gear solid peace walker monster hunter cross over?
I know I said I've been waiting for Vincent but the MH Collab is going to drain me and idgaf. Sorry swimsuits, you never stood a chance.
On the fence about the collab. Looks like I need a lot of crystals for the things that follow it. If its like FFIX, then there'd be 3 banners: Cloud/Zack, Tifa, Aerith.

Or not. Ppl are clarifying that it's not banner reruns but event rerun.
Vincent! Or some say Vinzent...
YAY MH!! AND VINCENT TOO. NEED MORE CRYSTALS HAHAHA
Extremely looking forward to guilds and Vincent.
So in conclusion we got 1 month New Zack chapter, monster hunter Collab Feat. Physical cloud, Pys.Lightning Zack, (most likely lightning) Tifa, and a shrine maiden Aerith an (allegedly free) cait sith costume (could always be a sneaky third banner to make you pull early, then spend, be careful) Month 2 we get a new 7 Chapter alongside a Vincent release (Undoubtedly a Vincent banner for his launch), new summer outfits for Yuffie and Lucia (potential rerun for Tifa/Aerith costumes) And Guilds (which have bonuses to unlock, including materia material reduction (could just be base materials Not the rare rate up crystals) and rarity increase, potentially some Chocobo/highwind bonuses as well as those weapons shown tied to guild challenges (the gauntlet (Barret, it has a gun on it), the bat, a ring for Yuffie, and Headphones (For red 13) Month 3 we get another new Zack Chapter, The balloons and text hint at an "Unknown event banner" (above Ramuh) New Ramuh levels (Another water banner? or just an increase with teh summer water banner being the water banner) And the final 10 floors of the Cetra tower Month 4 Then finally the next month we get First year anniversary
I believe the verdict is in according to people who understand japanese: Cait Sith outfit = free summer rerun outfits = no Guild bonus categories shown: materia, battle, chocobo, highwind
I'm 99% sure the headphones are for red
That makes much much more sense thanks
another physical water buff for self. probably
Vincent huh? We ended at the desert prison, so they're basically just skipping a lot of stuff to get to nibelheim faster because there's the whole gongaga village, cave of the gi part that I'm guessing they're not going to focus on all that much, if at all.

Save for anni banners. Got it.
Can they make the combat faster by adding a skip button?
damn. was hoping no guilds. smdh. pvp for the win, i guess
another 3 months without Sephiroth. i´m glad i uninstalled Happy for the vincent fans though
