Emotion Response/Story Structure/Character Wheel
This story is filled with a variety of emotions. You will experience joy, pain, fulfillment, and the most valued emotion love. The story is set by introducing a young man by the name of Cloud Strife who has left his past as a Shinra soldier to be a mercenary for hire. He does not care about anything accept the money he will receive for completing the job. But as the story progresses and he realizes that he can not be the selfish person he once was as he is growing feelings towards female charatcer Aeris. Cloud crosses paths with numerous characters amongst his journey through the world. Each of these characters play an impact on shaping who cloud finally becomes at the end of the story. At midpoint in the game Cloud's love interest is taken from him by Arch-nemesis Sephiroth, who is a man on a journey to become one with the ancients. This was the peek, the climax, of the story which would eventually lead to the final battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. The story is so emersive there is no way I could fill all the details into this project. While playing the actual game I easily recorded over 400 hours into this story. It is that immersive and and gripping. The story structure can be seen to have a beginning, climax, and a resolution but, throughout the story this sequence of events occurs many times. It can easily be said that Final Fantasy 7 was one of the greatest stories of all times. To this day not a single story released has even come close to what was acheieved in Final Fantasy 7.
