Explained simply
Final Fantasy VII is a role-playing game series from Japanese publisher Square Enix. Its 1997 instalment follows Cloud Strife and a group of allies resisting the Shinra corporation, whose use of the planet’s energy threatens the world; they also face the danger of a falling meteor called Meteor. The story has since been retold as a trilogy of connected games.
Naoki Hamaguchi directs the remake trilogy, which reworks the original story and gameplay for modern consoles. Its final game is intended to bring the characters’ struggle towards a conclusion, with the approaching disaster providing the backdrop for questions about why they keep fighting and helping others.
