However, players can purchase cosmetics and Square Enix's take on a Battle Pass: The Season Pass. Here are a few of the items included in the Season Pass.

  • Free to play Rewards
  • Shock Trooper Outfit

The Season Pass costs 1000 Shinra Credits ($9.99), and there is also the option to purchase the Elite Season Pass for 2800 Shinra Credits ($19.99) which allows you to skip reward tiers 1-30 while still receiving those rewards.

The First Soldier takes place 18 years before the original Final Fantasy VII. You'll play as one of the first of Shinra's genetically enhanced SOLDIERs forced to fight against 75 other SOLDIERs in a battle royale to find the ultimate fighter.

The First Soldier offers a few things that are departures from the traditional style of the Battle Royale. For instance, besides the players you will be fighting, there are also NPC monsters that drop loot. Another key difference is that you'll select a style when you start a match. These are similar to the Final Fantasy universe jobs and provide different bonuses for unique playstyles.

For example:

  • The Warrior style increases the distance that you can target with melee attacks.
  • The Ninja style gives you a double jump.
  • The Sorcerer style gives a boost to magic damage when upgrading your melee weapon.
