After being formally announced earlier this month, Season 2 of Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier has officially begun, bringing in a new summon, new fighting style, and more.
Season 2’s biggest addition–in size and in gameplay impact–is the Bahamut summon to the battlefield. Players can attempt to defeat Bahamut if they see it flying around the arena; felling the beast sometimes drops the Bahamut Summon Materia, effectively adding the supremely powerful summon to your squad at your command.
Other major additions to the game in Season 2 are the Teleport Materia, adding a new mobility option when in combat, and a new Dragoon fighting style specializing in lance-based melee attacks, including a flashy jumping ground pound attack that damages multiple enemies. New weapons coming in this new season include the mid-range Flare Thrower and the beam-shooting Inferno Launcher.
Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier launched in November 2021 on iOS and Android devices, adding a new battle royale spin to the Final Fantasy VII universe. GameSpot’s Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier review calls it “a battle royale title that’s good enough, smart enough, and different enough to attract and keep a healthy player base–it’s bursting at the smartphone’s seams.”
