Square Enix has launched a new collaboration event in Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier as they celebrate the main game's 25th Anniversary. The original FF7 came out 25 years ago for the first PlayStation and the company looks to be celebrating the game that helped shape and changed the franchise forever. As you can see from the image below, polygon versions of the game's primary characters will be made available as new limited-edition skins for you to purchase and be dressed as to get your old-school PS1 groove on. We have the full details on the event for you below as this will be in the game until February 28th. On top of this, Season 2 will launch with a ton of content for the game on February 28th, so even more to look forward to at the end of the month.

"Thank you so much for continuing to play Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier," said Producer Shoichi Ichikawa. "I played the original Final Fantasy VII as a child, and I am ecstatic to come back after all these years as a producer of a title within the Final Fantasy VII franchise to celebrate the 25th anniversary with you all! We are about to begin the Final Fantasy VII collaboration, and I hope that this will evoke a sense of great nostalgia for fans who've played the original Final Fantasy VII from 25 years ago, while appealing to newcomers to the franchise with their cute polygon style. I would love for everyone to join the fray during this collaboration period and have fun."
