Monks have the ability to heal themselves when they mete out damage, while Ninjas get an extra jump and the ability to hide in stealth mode for a few seconds. Warrior is a straight-shooting class with a sword and a rush special that closes distance so you can wallop your rivals before they can get a shot in. This mostly affects your special ability, your melee weapon and how you attack with it. Differentiating itself from Fortnite - if not all BR games we see you Apex and Warzone - you can also choose a job role, a la most RPGs. These are the baseline weapons and items. There are also potions to pick up and help extend your chances of survival. The grounds are littered with guns, from handguns to sniper rifles, as well as materia (magic orbs that offer both offensive and support capabilities) and even pretty rare summoning spells.
The battle theme of FF7 kicks in as helicopters swarm into the area, dropping off recruits. Aerith’s church and childhood home is there to be shot at, as is the arena, Sector 7’s markets, the abandoned trainyard and more. The battleground is a surprisingly expansive map on the outskirts of Midgar - while also featuring many of the major landmarks of Midgar’s sectors. The setting, then, is a battle royale to see how augmented soldiers fare against each other (and whatever beasts come their way in the process). Cloud, from FFVII, is introduced in the original as “Soldier, First Class” and this game takes everything back 30 years to the early formation of Shinra Corp’s military finest.
In First Soldier, you play as, well, recruits looking to become the first Soldier - a specific top-class army member.

And yet, barring a smart intro movie that cribs from the opening scenes of FF7R, you won’t see the protagonists (or antagonists) of the iconic RPG - though you’ll be able to cosplay as them. The game that got the sequel CGI movie, the remake, multiple mobile games and more. Probably because it’s expanding the already very-expanded Final Fantasy VII universe.
