For veterans of gacha games, the currency is a lot like those precious gold pieces that the dragons from myth hoard. We all know that the developers will give away only so much free premium currency, so keeping a stash for the right banner is crucial. Luckily, the team at Square Enix has been very generous so far when it comes to giving away crystals, which are FFVII: Ever Crisis currency, particularly blue crystals. If you’re wondering exactly what to do with your crystals, look no further than this guide.

Where to Spend Blue Crystals in FFVII: Ever Crisis?
Blue Crystals in FFVII: Ever Crisis are used to purchase key things such as upgrade materials, stamina boosters, exploration levels, and weekly banners. As you progress through the game, you’ll come across each one of the shops holding a selection of purchasable items. It’s important to hold on to these crystals as you research exactly what you’re looking for when it comes to your character’s build. Character power is key in Ever Crisis, and you won’t be able to progress if you’re underleveled.
That said, you should focus on upgrading your weapons and materia. For example, the current banner focuses on Cloud and Barret, and the weapons in their banner are all five stars. To use this banner, you need either red crystals that are purchased with real money or blue crystals that are earnable in-game. We recommend that you use the blue crystals in this instance so that the red crystals, if you have any, can be used in exclusive banners.
