Final Fantasy VII (note: this is the original Japan-exclusive version) is a role-playing game that takes place in a futuristic, steampunk-inspired world where advanced technology and magical elements blend together. The player takes on the role of Cloud Strife, a former soldier who becomes a member of the rebel group AVALANCHE to fight against Shinra Inc., a powerful company exploiting the planet’s vital energy. The game uses a turn-based battle system with active time elements, a flexible Materia system for customizing abilities, and special Limit Break moves for each character. Players navigate through 3D environments, participate in a variety of side games, and unravel a deep and intricate story that explores Cloud’s enigmatic background and a looming danger to the world. As the narrative unfolds, players unlock various vehicles that open up new regions and hidden content for exploration.
Final Fantasy VII tells the story of mercenary Cloud Strife, who is recruited by the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, led by Barret Wallace, to oppose the powerful Shinra Electric Power Company. Shinra seeks to exploit the planet’s life energy for profit. At first indifferent to the cause, Cloud fights primarily for personal reasons and a promise he made to his childhood friend Tifa Lockhart. As the story unfolds, he unites with a group of allies to save the planet from both Shinra and his archenemy, Sephiroth, ultimately finding a deeper purpose beyond his own interests.
