Set seven years prior to the events of the first Final Fantasy
VII, the Shinra Company is rapidly increasing its influence
through its monopoly on Mako Energy and military might. With the
burgeoning city of Midgar as its base and symbol of prosperity,
Shinra is on the verge of establishing absolute dominance over the
world.
SOLDIER is a group of skilled combat operatives within Shinra. The
elite within the group — those strong enough to be deemed SOLDIER
1st Class — are respected and idolized by the citizenry. Zack is a
young SOLDIER 2nd Class who aspires to become a 1st. He spends his
days carrying out assignments under the guidance of his 1st Class
mentor, Angeal. During an operation in Wutai, a large number of
SOLDIER members, led by 1st Class operative Genesis, go missing. The
severity of the situation prompts Shinra executives to deploy even
more SOLDIER operatives in hopes of bringing an end to the war with
Wutai—and conducting an investigation into the mass desertion. The
ones assigned to the mission are Zack, Angeal, and the 1st Class
hero who is known the world over as Sephiroth...
What truths lie behind Genesis's disappearance? What secrets bind
the three SOLDIER 1st Class operatives? For Zack, a cruel and
fateful struggle awaits... |
