FFVII: A Different Kind of Apocalypse

FFVII and Zombieland

Oh, Midgar. I wish I could tell you this was still Midgar, but I've come to realize you can't have a city without people, and there are no people here. No, my friends, Midgar is now the largest city in Zombieland. Remember Geostigma, plague of the 21st century? Well, Geostigma killed just about everyone... but it also brought them back as ravenous freaks. The late-stage virus leaves you with a swollen brain, raging fever, makes you hateful and violent and gives you a really bad case of the munchies. That guy down there is me.

FFVII and Resident Evil

A terrorist group breached one of our facilities with the intention of freeing the infected... And they succeeded. The virus escaped, and everybody died. Trouble was... they didn't stay dead.

FFVII and Star Wars

Opening crawl: WAR! Diplomatic approaches in Wutai have failed and Shin Ra's army as mobilized. Unrest from within the company along with an increasingly violent resistance movement has strained Administrative Research beyond its capacity and the Turks struggle to maintain order. While Shin Ra's board of directors endlessly debates their course of action, Veld, the former leader of the Turks, returns to Midgar to help his allies carry out a plan to shift power away from the board. Meanwhile, the young Rufus Shinra returns from Junon with similar intentions...
