Ehrgeiz is a 3D fighting game that features some characters from Final Fantasy VII. Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart are playable in the arcade and the PlayStation versions, and Sephiroth, Yuffie Kisaragi, Vincent Valentine and Zack Fair were added to the PlayStation version's roster. Ehrgeiz differs from most 3D fighting games by drawing heavily from the concepts of wrestling games and Dream Factory's own Tobal series, which allow for full 360-degree movement and do not require fighters to be facing each other at all times.

FredLobster's review of Ehrgeiz
The younger sibling of Bushido Blade, Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring is Squaresoft's goofier Playstation fighter game. Although unexceptional in most regards, it had a satisfyingly technical wrestling counter-system, an infusion of popular Final Fantasy VII characters, and (best of all) a complex action dungeon crawler inexplicably attached. Both games were good if not great, and for the cost of one purchase, that wasn't half bad.

buffaling's review of Ehrgeiz
Sort of like a wacky precursor to Dissidia. I guess.
