In an effort to stop Shinra, the Avalanche members rush to defend Sector 7вЂ™s pillar but they fail and most of them are killed in the process. After bombing the Sector 1 and Sector 5 reactors in Midgar, Shinra decides to retaliate by dropping part of the upper city on the Sector 7 slums and the Avalanche headquarters below. Those who played the original game know how their stories play out and will find that a familiar fate may await this trio in the remake, although their endings are more ambiguous than in the original. In the remake, these characters are fleshed out a little bit more and their time on screen is expanded. If those names sound familiar to you, itвЂ™s because they all appeared in the original Final Fantasy VII. Avalanche, an eco-terrorist group created to stop Shinra, launches a plan to destroy the organizationвЂ™s energy reactors and put a halt to its grotesque machine.Д¬loud, an initially disillusioned mercenary and former member of SOLDIER, ShinraвЂ™s elite security force, joins Avalanche early in the game and meets many of the groupвЂ™s most colorful members, including Wedge, Biggs, and Jessie.

Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith are front and center in the struggle against the dastardly Shinra Electric Power Company, which is draining the planet Gaia of its lifeforce (вЂњmakoвЂќ in the game) in order to fuel its own technology. And while the game released by Square Enix this week only covers a portion of the original experience (with more coming in later installments), it gives fans a largely expanded and graphically improved version of Midgar to explore.
