Story

Final Fantasy VII tells the story of the mercenary Cloud Strife, who is hired by the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, led by Barret Wallace, to fight the megacorporation Shinra Electric Power Company, which tries to siphon off the planet's lifeblood as an energy source to increase its profits. Cloud initially fights only for his personal gain and for the promise he made to his childhood friend, Tifa Lockhart. Eventually, Cloud joins forces with many others to save the planet, which is threatened by Shinra and Cloud's archenemy Sephiroth, and discovers a reason to fight for a cause other than his own.
