Disillusioned with Shinra, and at the request of his childhood friend Tifa Lockhart ( Britt Baron/ Ayumi Ito), Cloud takes a mercenary job for Avalanche, an eco-terrorist organization, led by Barret Wallace (John Eric Bentley/ Masahiro Kobayashi). Shinra uses Mako, a refined form of the Planet's spiritual energy harvested by massive reactors, to power the metropolis of Midgar and develop cutting-edge technology. Ĭloud Strife ( Cody Christian/ Takahiro Sakurai) is a former member of SOLDIER, the elite warriors of the Shinra Electric Power Company. While the game has more real-time elements, strategic elements still remain, such as selecting weapons and magic for each character to wield. Players are able to use magic and summons of large creatures, and a Limit Break gauge allows characters to perform more powerful attacks once charged. Each party member has their own individual skills, such as Cloud's close-quarters melee attacks and Barret's long-range distance attacks. The player can switch between party members at any time during battle. Each special ability uses up a segment of the ATB bar. The player can assign these special abilities to shortcut buttons, allowing them to play in real-time without pausing. Once it is filled, the player can halt the action and use special abilities such as magic, items, and special moves. The game features an altered Active Time Battle (ATB) system from the original, which gradually fills up slowly, or can fill faster with attacks. Įxploration and battle mechanics both take place in real-time, like Final Fantasy XV. The story includes major expansions to character development and some notable plot additions. Every element has been remade, using real-time polygonal graphics as opposed to the pre-rendered environments of the original. Players control Cloud Strife, a former Shinra soldier turned mercenary who joins the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE to fight the Shinra Corporation, who have been draining the planet's life energy.
