FFVII Ever Crisis Academy Boss Fight Is Aerith and Mr. B

Ever since Square Enix announced the FFVII Ever Crisis alternate universe (AU) high school Ever Crisis Academy April Fools’ Day 2025 joke, its been teasing new elements for it, and one will be a boss fight with Aerith and Mr. B. We’ll need to take down the PE teacher and Team Centra leader to complete the event.

In this event storyline, Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, and Zack are students at Midgard Seventh High School, and Cloud’s goal is sur Zack as Midgard’s Brawler: First Class in FFVII Ever Crisis. However, Mr. B wants more students for his baseball team in hopes of defeating Shinra Private Academy’s crew. It looks like we’ll need to help “Cloud” achieve his goals by taking down Aerith and Mr. B. The teaser video doesn’t show any of the moves the duo will use in the fight. However, we do see what it looks like before the bout begins.

Prior to this reveal, a few others came up. Square Enix shared a Shinra Private Academy wallpaper with student versions of Sephiroth and Angeal. There was also a Countdown Campaign with six Ever Crisis Academy Countdown Custom Boxes. The Treasure Hunt Season 21 also features a Beneath the Famed Seventh High Tree wallpaper that shows Tifa and Aerith both waiting under a cherry blossom tree in their school uniforms.

Here are images of the two wallpapers:

As a reminder, not every FFVII Ever Crisis is confirmed for this event. When Square Enix first revealed it on April 1, 2025, it didn’t include Cait Sith, Cid, Red XIII, Vincent, or Yuffie, so it is unknown if they’ll show up in this storyline. 

FFVII Ever Crisis is available for PCs and mobile devices, and the Ever Crisis Academy event with Aerith and Mr. B boss fight begins on April 30, 2025.
