Explained simply
Final Fantasy 7 is a role-playing game series about Cloud Strife and his allies fighting the Shinra corporation and a powerful enemy called Sephiroth. The newer games retell and expand the story of the 1997 original across a trilogy: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the second instalment, and Revelation is planned as the final one.
The games combine the main adventure with optional activities, including minigames. The Gold Saucer is an entertainment park in the story where players can try several of them; Queen’s Blood is a card game added in Rebirth. Snowboarding also appeared in the original game, making it a recognisable part of Final Fantasy 7 for returning players.
