Ehrgeiz - God Bless the Ring (PS1) price, value & rarity
American edition of Ehrgeiz, DreamFactory's 3D fighter published by Square with Cloud, Sephiroth and the Final Fantasy VII cast as guests, plus a bonus RPG mode. The NTSC-U run is more widespread than the PAL, bringing loose to about forty-one euros and sealed near two hundred eighty, below European prices. Solid demand among completist FFVII fans, with the draw owing to the characters far more than the fighting system.
Is Ehrgeiz - God Bless the Ring still worth playing in 2026?
A 3D fighting game from DreamFactory and Square, Ehrgeiz stands out for its open arenas where you move freely, breaking the traditional versus frame, and for the presence of Final Fantasy VII characters like Cloud and Tifa. The singular combat system and a dungeon crawler style adventure mode add content. The disorienting handling and questionable balance divide opinion. A curiosity for Final Fantasy fans and lovers of experimental 3D fighting games on the PlayStation.
