The only ones who can stop him? Cloud and his band of allies, of course. Eventually, you'll learn about Sephiroth, who's a superhuman experiment created by Shinra and a foil to Cloud Strife, and his plans to destroy the entire world. Shinra has monopolized the planet's life force as Mako energy. At the beginning of the game, you're on a mission to bomb a power plant that is owned by Shinra, which is the huge megacorporation that controls Midgar. You take on the role of Cloud Strife, a mercenary and ex-SOLDIER who is working with the eco-terrorist group, AVALANCHE. The story of FFVII is one of the best for a Final Fantasy game, and honestly, it still holds up well to this day, even if you've never played it before.
