In my own opinion, I think Final Fantasy VII is the best RPG ever made. The memorable characters, the Materia system, and of course Sephiroth. Everything was perfectly done. It was also the very first role playing game I played, and my most favorite game of all time (Next to Sonic the Hedgehog 2.) Okay, let me stop sweating the game and get to what I’m trying to accomplish here. The story I’m about to tell you is a history on our blond spiky haired hero, Cloud Strife. This story is a retelling on the flashbacks that occurred during the game. I have woven all those events together (with some minor adjustments) to broaden the history of Cloud. Some of you may notice that the names of certain characters in this story are the same as other characters from previous Final Fantasy games. These are not the same characters. They just happen to have the same name, that’s all. Our story begins when Cloud was at the tender age of six years old in his hometown Nibelheim. Enjoy the story and thank you for reading.
