As crossovers go, this is a deep dive for Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, but it’s a good one. The cast of the 1998 cult PS1 classic Xenogears has stopped by for a visit, proving that they’re still alive after not being seen for 21 years. Fei, Elly, Bart, Emeralda and Rico are available this week as new units from featured summons, and you can even get ball of fluff Chu-Chu through a raid summon. You can use them in the Elements’ Formation raid boss battle, which gives you raid coins to exchange for special prizes. And starting April 5, you can challenge the Desert Despair trial boss to earn some really rare stuff.

All players can jump in and collect new summonable characters, earn fabulous rewards from a challenging raid boss and more based around the beloved title. Square
