You play the part of a mercenary named Cloud Strife who sets out with some friends to stop a company called Shinra, Inc. from sucking the energy out of the world. But the plot changes after a while and you have to save the world from a Meteor that could threaten the very life of the planet. The Meteor was summoned by a man named Sephiroth. The storyline was amazing and the characters have very realistic personalities.
Some discs are defective.
Very easy to understand. Battle takes a little while, but you should be quite good once you beat the first boss. Forever, unless your disc is defected like mine. I was almost at the end of the first disc. But once you get out of Midgar, you can play all day and all night.
