FFVII: Ever Crisis Sephiroth The First Soldier Characters Detailed

Square Enix released new details about the young Sephiroth The First Soldier story and characters appearing in FFVII: Ever Crisis. We’ve known for a while that this storyline, which is a follow up from the now shuttered The First Soldier battle royale, would appear. It came up in the beta. Now there are more details about its characters and their adventures. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The story of the three soldiers and Sephiroth was originally a part of Square Enix’s free-to-play battle royale mobile game, Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. However, they mainly appeared in promotional movies and that tales wasn’t fleshed out. In the original game, the story centers on a young Sephiroth and three soldiers—Glenn, Matt, and Lucia. In the updated Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis version, the story takes place 15 years before the original Final Fantasy VII and depicts Sephiroth’s childhood.

Here are a few more in-depth details about the three soldiers. They are all labed as “class P0.”

• Glenn Lodbrok is a class P0 Soldier who volunteers to find a site for the construction of a mako reactor in hostile territory.
• Lucia Lin is a class P0 Soldier who is a leader in the Shinra Army who acts as a sniper.
• Matt Winsord is a class P0 Soldier who uses his quick wit and good judgment on risky missions.
