There are those that understand the consequences of what ShinRa has done. Freedom fighters have waged miniature wars against the corporation, destroying their reactors; though they are incapable of ever truly stopping them. Their numbers dwindle and they seek the aid of mercenaries.

One such mercenary, Cloud Strife, is a self-proclaimed 'ex-SOLDIER' just looking for cash. He cares not of the planet's fate... That is, until he falls into the garden of a girl who dreams of hope. All of this occurs within the walls of Midgar, the city of Mako power.

It is a stage to the world outside. Puppets dance across its floor, marching toward a reunion and looking to the sky for fire. The calamity of Meteor.

To mend the memory of his past, Cloud must cut his strings. He will stand alongside those who fight for honor, their fallen families, and the future of their children... To find love, he will face many enemies: ShinRa, Sephiroth, himself, and his own regret.
