Prologue

The Shinra Company is rapidly increasing its influence through its monopoly on mako energy and military might. With the burgeoning city of Midgar as its base and symbol of prosperity, Shinra is on the verge of establishing absolute dominance over the world.

SOLDIER is a group of skilled combat operatives within Shinra. The elite within the group-those strong enough to be deemed SOLDIER 1st Class-are respected and idolized by the citizenry.

Zack Fair and Jeanne Rush are young SOLDIER 2nd Class who aspire to become 1st Class. They spend their days carrying out assignments under the guidance of their 1st Class mentor, Angeal.

During an operation in Wutai, a large number of SOLDIER members, led by SOLDIER 1st Class Genesis, go missing. The severity of the situation prompts Shinra executives to deploy even more SOLDIER operatives in hopes of bringing an end to the war with Wutai- and conducting an investigation into the mass desertion. The ones assigned to the mission are Zack, Jeanne, Angeal, and the two 1st Class heroes who are known over the world and Sephiroth and Sienna…

What truths lie behind Genesis's disappearance?

What secrets bind the four SOLDIER 1st Class operatives?

For Zack and Jeanne, a cruel and fateful struggle awaits…
