Union Challenge

Union Challenge is a recurring Union Cross event where players are challenged to cooperatively defeat an extremely difficult boss within a two- or three-day period. Rewards are distributed both to players that successfully defeat the boss and to all players depending on the number of Unions that successfully complete the challenge.
During the event, the Special Board Cross Board becomes available, with no Cross Coins required to complete. Accordingly, players are not given Cross Coins upon defeating the boss; rather, EXP Medals are rewarded for bonuses.

==April 2020==
The third Union Challenge was available from April 10 to 12, 2020. Unions were challenged to defeat Sephiroth with 450 players.
All five unions completed the challenge successfully; however, the event was subject to a technical issue where players would get stuck upon defeating the boss. This issue was due to a large number of players attempting the challenge at the same time and was complicated by many players forcibly quitting or disconnecting after getting stuck. As an apology for this issue, the rewards intended for players who successfully defeated the boss were distributed to all players, along with nine of Trait Medal #192; players who did defeat the boss received thirty each of Power Gems, Speed Gems, and Magic Gems on top of the other rewards.[UPDATED 4/14 FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Release Celebration!]
