How to play FFVII The First Soldier on PC

Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is finally available on both iOS and Android devices, with Square Enix tackling the battle royale genre in a unique and rather bizarre way.

While the game is only planned to be played on mobile devices, fans are wondering and figuring out how to play The First Soldier on a PC so they can play it more comfortably. 

By no means the intended way, there is in fact a reliable method to boot up Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier on a PC. Here's how.

Just like other mobile battle royales, The First Solder is a third-person shooter that goes into first-person while aiming down sights. The game features melee combat utilising a variety of swords, hand to hand combat, and magic staffs.

Players can venture into familiar places in the Sector 5 and 7 slums, including iconic locations such as Aerith's house, the Seventh Heaven bar, Don Corneo's Wall Market mansion.
