Apex Legends' Final Fantasy 7 Crossover Event Sparks Backlash Over High Costs

Players express dissatisfaction over the estimated $300 cost to unlock all event items, including the coveted One-Winged Angel Deathbox.

Apex Legends' crossover event with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has sparked backlash due to the high cost of unlocking all event items, which is estimated to be over $300.
One of the main points of contention is the cost of obtaining the One-Winged Angel Deathbox, which requires players to collect all 36 items in the event.
Players have also criticized the use of AI in the event's promotional material, leading to further dissatisfaction.
The event, which runs from January 9 to January 30, features a new game mode, the Buster Sword as a weapon and cosmetic item, and various new skins.
Despite the controversy, the event has been anticipated by fans of both Apex Legends and Final Fantasy, marking a significant collaboration between the two popular franchises.
