The Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis Stuck on Now Preparing for Official Release screen is greeting players when they boot up Square Enix’s latest Final Fantasy 7 spin-off. But this is not a screen you can just tap away. Here’s what the Stuck on Now Preparing for Official Release Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis message means and how to get around it.
How to fix Stuck on Now Preparing for Official Release in Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis
The only fix for the “Now preparing for the official release” message in Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis is to simply wait for the game to actually come out. It appears as though the game is launching on September 7 at midnight PT, which is when users should be able to finally jump in. Just be sure to translate that to your local time to know exactly when you will be able to play.
Square Enix’s management team notes in the game’s Notices tab that it is “glad” players are there, but asks them to “wait just a little longer.” It then tells players to keep up to date on the game’s details through its official Twitter account. It might be useful to keep track of Ever Crisis updates there, as well as any additional errors that keep this free-to-play RPG from coming out on time. There’s also the Known Issues tab that will likely be another place players can keep up to date on any additional errors.
This also gives players time to pre-register on Square Enix’s official website. Doing so unlocks a whole bunch of items for each player, including tickets and crystals that will likely help lessen the grind. The rewards have gone up as more people have pre-registered, and the total number of pre-registered users has exceeded 1.5 million.
