See the FFVII Ever Crisis April Fools’ Day High School AU

For April Fools’ Day 2025, Square Enix created a Final Fantasy VII high school AU (alternate universe) scenario for FFVII Ever Crisis called Ever Crisis Academy. It reimagines Midgar as Midgard, with characters like Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Zack, Angeal, and Sephiroth as students at Midgard Seventh Heaven High School and Shinra Private Academy. This comes complete with free wallpapers and a complex relationship chart.

Midgard Seventh Heaven High School is a school for delinquents in this FFVII Ever Crisis AU. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Zack are all students there. Zack is the current Brawler First Class at the academy, but Cloud wants to steal that spot from him. Meanwhile, Tifa is class president there. However, a teacher who is coach for the baseball team named Barret wants to recruit all four of them to form an ideal team capable of defeating Shinra Private Academy.

As for Shinra Private Academy, Sephiroth and Angeal are both students there. Both are part of the student council. Glenn is an art teacher, Matt teaches both political science and economics, and Lin teaches biology. 

You can see the full relationship chart below. It is divided up into the Midgard Seventh Heaven High School and Shinra Private Academy sides. The only connection between the two is between Barret and Glenn, so we don’t know how high schooler Cloud feels about fellow student Sephiroth.

And here are all of the wallpapers for the April Fools’ Day event:

Cid, Vincent, Red XIII, and Yuffie are all absent. 

The official website for April Fools’ Day 2025 also references a trailer, but it isn’t available yet.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for mobile devices, and the FFVII Ever Crisis Academy April Fools’ Day high school AU is only available until April 1, 2025.
