Synopsis
Post-war Cloud investigates missing children amid Geostigma outbreak, confronting past threats to protect the next generation.
Two years after a cataclysmic battle that nearly tore the planet apart, the world is slowly rebuilding. The once-mighty city of Midgar lies in ruins, its survivors having forged a new community called Edge on its outskirts. In this fragile new world, former hero Cloud Strife has stepped away from the battlefield, running a small delivery service with his childhood friend Tifa. Together, they care for those left adrift by the disaster, including children orphaned by the conflict. But peace remains elusive. A mysterious illness known as "Geostigma" has begun afflicting the planet's youth, leaving its mark on both body and spirit. When children start disappearing from the streets of Edge, Cloud finds himself pulled back toward a life he thought he'd left behind. As he investigates, he'll discover that the past has not been laid to rest as completely as he believed. New threats emerge from the shadows of history, forcing Cloud to confront whether he can truly protect the next generation—or if he's destined to repeat the battles of yesterday. The fate of the children, and perhaps the planet itself, may depend on whether Cloud can find the strength to face what comes next.
Two years ago, the world was changed forever. The young Cloud Strife and his band of friends may have defeated Sephiroth and thwarted his plan to crash a giant meteor into the Earth, but this victory was not without great cost. The highly populated city of Midgar was nearly ripped apart in the conflict. Fortunately, many of the city's citizens were able to evacuate to safety, and in the years afterward have formed a new home called Edge. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children revolves around Cloud and Tifa as they try to make new lives for themselves, as well as for those around them, in this new city. Together they run a courier service, and tend to their mutual friend Barret’s adopted daughter Marlene and a young orphan by the name of Denzel. Denzel, Cloud, and scores of children are suffering from a mysterious new illness called "Geostigma." The children of the city have one other threat looming over their heads—a trio of powerful men are kidnapping infected kids for unknown reasons. Cloud is determined to save these young ones, not only from Geostigma, but from the kidnappers as well. He has no idea, however, that these men share a link to his old enemy, Sephiroth, and Cloud’s quest to vanquish them will bring him back into conflict with the demons of his past. If there is any hope in conquering these threats, it lays within the bonds of friendship between Cloud and his allies who saved the world once, and now must do so again.
