The past is just the past . . . or is it?

In a time before the dark days at Nibelheim a SOLDIER from Shinra named Zack Fair struggles to earn his First Class rank. Along with his mentor, Angeal, Zack is sent on a mission that brings him into contact with the soon-to-be hero, Sephiroth. This mission sets in motion a series of events that will change Zack's life and rock the very foundations of the world.

The truth behind the darkness, deceit, and tragedy that shaped the classic Final Fantasy VII is revealed in this long-awaited prequel. New faces mingle with the favorite characters we cherish, bringing the past to life. It all comes down to what brough Zack, Cloud, and Sephiroth together in that fateful clash that ended a life, altered a memory, and unleashed a demon of destruction.
