Final Fantasy VII is a 1997 role-playing video game developed and published by Square for the PlayStation, directed by Yoshinori Kitase, following the mercenary Cloud Strife and the eco-terrorist group Avalanche as they oppose the powerful Shinra corporation and confront the former soldier Sephiroth. The game combined pre-rendered background art with three-dimensional character models, a technique that allowed far more elaborate visual environments than the series' earlier entries, and its marketing and reception marked a substantial expansion of the Final Fantasy series' commercial reach outside Japan. Final Fantasy VII is widely credited with helping popularize console role-playing games in Western markets and is frequently cited among the most influential video games of its era.
