In Midgar, the industrial city powered by mako, ex-SOLDIER mercenary Cloud Strife joins Avalanche in its fight against the Shinra Electric Power Company. As Shinra drains the planet's life force, Cloud takes part in an operation against one of its reactors and becomes caught up in a conflict that grows beyond the job.
Explore Midgar's districts, battle Shinra forces and monsters, take on side quests, and encounter story scenes and activities along the way. The remake expands the Midgar portion of the original game's story with added events and character interactions.
Combat combines real-time movement and attacks with command-based abilities, magic and items. Attacks build ATB for those actions, while switching between party members lets you use their different fighting styles. Equip materia to shape abilities and magic, and develop weapons as you progress. The included INTERmission episode follows Yuffie as she infiltrates Midgar to pursue Shinra's ultimate materia.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its cast and expanded character moments, the atmosphere of Midgar, its cinematic presentation and soundtrack, and the mix of real-time fighting with tactical commands. Some also like experimenting with party members and materia. Criticism frequently focuses on slow traversal and sections that feel padded; opinions on the combat and story differ, with some players enjoying their systems and retelling while others find them clunky or confusing.
