He wanted to find a way to solve the financial crisis issue
Philip II of France called the Estates-General together in 1302 to address the financial needs of the kingdom, particularly to fund his military campaigns. This assembly included representatives from the three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the common people. It marked a significant moment in French history, as it represented an early effort to involve different societal groups in governance and decision-making. The convening of the Estates-General also highlighted the growing tensions between the monarchy and various societal factions.
Because he wanted to solve the financial crisis
No, he didn't, but Louis XVI did in 1789
By calling the Estates-General Louis the XIV would be at a disadvantage because it would give more power to the 1st Estate and the 2nd Estate. He would be losing power and he had no reason to call on the Estates-General. Louis the XVIII had to call on the Estates-General because the country was about to go bankrupt and he had no other choice but to call on the Estates-General and ask them for a loan.
Philip II of France called the Estates-General together in 1484 primarily to address the financial crisis facing the kingdom and to seek support for his policies. The meeting aimed to gain legitimacy and backing from the three estates—clergy, nobility, and commoners—especially in light of the burdens imposed by wars and administrative expenses. Additionally, it served as a platform to discuss the growing discontent among the populace and to reinforce royal authority through collaboration with these representative bodies.

It was called to deal with Economics and was converted by the Third Estate as a call for an end to the absolute Monarchy and a call for representation in the government.
The Estates General was called at the discretion of the king. For 175 years, no monarch had chosen to call a meeting. Louis XVI was flummoxed over what to do about France's economic problems, as well as how voting should be done. The Third Estate was at a disadvantage when the vote went by estate, since the First and Second Estates tended to vote together.
The opening session was held on 5 May 1789.
