Final Fantasy VII : Prologue/ Background
Story: Sephiroth
I'd say that this is my favorite Final Fantasy part.
It has a great story line and characters. I will admit that
the graphics aren't the best compared to Final Fantasy VIII
- Final Fantasy XI but still graphics isn't the main thing in
the game. Final Fantasy VII is really good for its deep and
outstating storyline. It has a great battle system and impressive
effects when you cast spells or make summons. Game has a lot
of side-quests and it is fun replaying. So let's talk about
the game itself. The main plot of Final Fantasy VII focuses
on a member of an elite military organization known as SOLDIER,
named Cloud Strife. He struggles with his past and his memories,
constantly getting tangled in a web of confusion over himself.
He later leaves SOLDIER and joins a terrorist group called AVALANCHE,
who fight against the Shinra Conglomerate, the organization
responsible for SOLDIER. Shinra uses powerful reactors to suck
Mako energy, a new cheap efficient energy source, from the planet,
which is actually the life source of all living things, thus,
destroying life near the reactors. AVALANCHE is headed by a
gruff man named Barret Wallace, who despises the Shinra and
swears at them with the gun-implant in his arm. Biggs, Wedge,
Jessie and Tifa (Cloud's childhood friend, has strong feelings
for him) are also members of the rebel group. As the game progresses,
you meet characters such as Red XIII, a lab specimen of Professor
Hojo, the head of science of Shinra. Cid, a pilot and mechanic
who dreams of flying into space. Aeris, a girl from the race
of Ancients, the original inhabitants of the planet Earth, who
also has feelings for Cloud, and will play a key part in the
final part of the whole plot of this game (I won't spoil it
for you). Yuffie, a ninja girl who is obsessed with Materia.
Cait Sith, a giant stuffed moogle who has an ulterior motive,
and Vincent, a former member of the Turks, an elite sect of
Shinra, who apparently blames himself for his dark past. As
the game progresses, the fight against Shinra turns into a fight
for the very life of the planet, as the game's main villain,
Sephiroth, is introduced. He and Cloud share memories of their
past, except that Cloud denies them because he considers himself
as weak in comparison to his old friend Zack, who was a member
of SOLDIER along with Sephiroth. Many surprising and sometimes
shocking truths about Cloud's past are revealed as you play
the game, and eventually, Cloud finds his true self and frees
himself from his illusionary world, created with his own made-up
memories. Sephiroth then betrays Cloud and burns Nibelheim,
Cloud's hometown, into ashes, destroying all that was left of
his past....or so he thought. Cloud, blinded by rage, then defeats
Sephiroth and plunges him into a basin of pure Mako energy.
It was recorded that Sephiroth died that day. However, he has
now emerged again, with his "mother", Jenova, the
"Crisis from the Sky", to assume what he calls his
rightful place as God of the world, and to bestow upon Jenova
what he claims was rightfully hers. Eventually, a powerful spell
is cast upon the Earth, and it is up to you to stop it, save
the world, and destroy Sephiroth and all evil once and for all.
This game contains lots of hot stuff so I won't spoil you anything
just advice you to play it yourself.
