Final Fantasy VII The First Solider hosts a nostalgic collaboration event

The increasingly popular battle royale Final Fantasy VII: The First Solider is hosting a collaboration to honour the 25th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy VII.

The collaboration began on February 16th and will run until the 28th. This event will also introduce new special monsters across the battlefield during whatever mode you queue up for. They will be easily recognized, as they also are in the polygon heavy style that this event calls from.
