Cloud Strife, a mercenary with a murky past, joins an eco-terrorist cell called AVALANCHE in the city of Midgar, which is built on a Mako reactor network slowly draining the planet's life force. What starts as a focused act of sabotage quickly expands into something far larger, drawing Cloud and a memorable cast of companions across a world of industrial cities, ancient temples, and open plains. The PC re-release adds cloud saves, achievements, and a character booster for those who want to experience the story without grinding, preserving one of the most influential RPGs ever made.
