At that time, the SOLDIER Mass Disappearance Incident occurred when, during combat operations in Wutai, Genesis, a first class member of SOLDIER, went missing without a trace along with many other SOLDIERs. The Shinra Company's top management assessed the situation and decided to send out SOLDIER in order to bring an end to the war and clarify the scandal, and so, Angeal and Zack, as well as Sephiroth, whose name would come to be known throughout the world as a hero, were dispatched to Wutai.

During the duration of the game, events similar to Last Order: Final Fantasy VII take place, as well as Zack meeting Aerith, becoming best friends with Cloud, Zack discovering the truth about both Angeal and Genesis' origins, The truth behind the mysterious "Project 'G'", Sephiroth's hatred of the Shinra company beginning, and many other events. There are also scenes in Crisis Core of Zack that Cloud had as flashbacks in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Final Fantasy VII.

At the end of the game, Cloud and Zack reach the Wastelands near Midgar, after escaping Shinra. However, Zack is shot by the pursuing Shinra soldiers while Cloud is left unharmed because of his vegetative state. Aerith is seen waiting at her church, praying for Zack.

After some time Cloud snaps out of his rigid state and heads towards Zack. When Cloud reaches Zack, Zack (while giving Cloud his Buster Sword) tells Cloud to take all his pride and dreams for him and continue living, and then finally dies. Cloud cries out in anguish. After his brief mourning, Cloud says his thanks to Zack and tells him to rest. Zack talks aside that he is finally a hero, while the scene goes to Cloud who is carrying the Buster Sword and making his way towards Midgar.

After the credits roll, the introduction to Final Fantasy VII plays. Aerith is seen exiting a building into the streets of Midgar, while Cloud (who is not too far from her) rides on top of a train stating, "I am Cloud. SOLDIER. First Class." marking the beginning of the original game, Final Fantasy VII. The game ends with the words, "To be continued in Final Fantasy VII..."







Zack Fair

The soldier who dreams of becoming a hero. An Energetic soldier 2nd class who aspires to become a 1st class. Through reckless and sometimes naive, he possesses the strength to face any adversary head-on. During an assignment, he discovers the internal affairs of SHINRA and SOLDIER. Faced with a harsh reality, Zack seeks out his own path.



Aerith Gainsborough

At the age of 16, Aerith met Zack, for whom she developed feelings during his stay in Midgar. For the next five years, Aerith helped her adopted mother with their livelihood by growing and selling flowers, a job that results in her meeting Cloud in the beginning of Final Fantasy VII.



Angeal Hewley

A senior member of SOLDIER, Angeal could be the original owner of the Cloud's trademark Buster Sword. It is likely that most of the training that Zack receives as well as the techniques he learns are passed down from him.



Genesis Rhapsodos

A former 1st class soildier who went MIA during the Wutai war. He's almost like Sephiroth but wasn't injected with Jenova Cells but G cells. Dr. Hollander injected Genesis with G cells (at birth or as a child for an unknown reason). He is best friends with Angeal when he was young and still is when both of them went to Shinra as 1st class SOLDIERS.
Genesis personal hobby is reading Loveless.
Genesis is seen again in Dirge of Cerberus 8-9 years later in a secret ending. It is unknown what his new goals are but his only quote "It is not yet time to slumber, we have much work to do, Brother"



Sephiroth

Sephiroth is ShinRa's Ultimate SOLDIER the best of the best, and a General in the army. He is known as a war hero across the world and is extremely respected, though Sephirorth is somewhat of an elitist. Intime he would learn of the twisted experiments surrounding his origin, he loses his sanity and disappears at Nibelheim.


Cloud Strife

Cloud is part of the Shinra Military, He was actually unable to make it into SOLDIER, but intime became close friends with Zack, Cloud looked up to Zack and Sephiroth and wished to be like them as their power intrigued him so much. Cloud was with both Zack and Sephiroth at the fated incident at Nibelheim.
