The first chapter of "Final Fantasy VII Remake" focuses entirely on the massive, futuristic city of Midgar.
Cloud Strife, the main character of "Final Fantasy VII," is a mercenary hired by a group of freedom fighters called Avalanche to help blow up a factory.
Barret Wallace is Avalanche's leader; the group want to take down an evil corporation called Shinra that's polluting the planet.
The story takes a big turn when Cloud meets Aerith Gainsborough, a flower girl with a mysterious connection to the planet's life force.
Armed with his giant Buster Sword, Cloud helps Avalanche fight Shinra guards, robots and other powerful enemies.
Unlike the original "Final Fantasy VII," combat in the remake isn't turn based. You'll be able to run around and attack freely. When your action meter fills, you can use magic or other special abilities.
"Final Fantasy VII Remake" will also let you swap between characters on the fly during battle so you can make the most of their individual abilities.
As the story progresses, you'll recruit more characters to your team for battle. Each has their own unique fighting style, set of skills, and magic spells.
Tifa Lockhart, Cloud's childhood friend, beats down enemies with fierce martial arts. Aerith has a wide range of magic spells, and often acts as the team's healer.
When Cloud and his teammates build up enough attack power, they can unleash special attacks called Limit Breaks.
As you fight your team will grow stronger, and you'll need to keep improving to beat the game's increasingly tough enemies.
At the heart of the story is the sinister villain Sephiroth. He's ready to torment Cloud at every turn and knows a few secrets about Cloud's past.
"Final Fantasy VII Remake" will arrive on PlayStation 4 on March 3rd, 2020. You can check out the full trailer below.
