FF7 story

Bit of a cult video game reference here, but my mate just told me about the story to final fantasy seven which is about a big corporate owned place. It's a dystopian setting rather than the Utopian setting we are creating, but still relevant

The story first takes place in the city of Midgar which is also known as the city on a plate. It's a city full of machinery and scrap dumps. Midgar is governed and maintained by a powerful organization called Shinra. The power plants that provide Midgar with electricity suck energy from the "mako" energy from the earth. Mako energy is the source of life for this planet and these power plants are slowly sucking that life away. Residents of Midgar are aware of this conspiracy and organize a retaliation against Shinra and their power plants, they called this organization Avalanche. Avalanche goes through several attempts to break down Shinra and destroy their power plants. During these attempts; tragedies occur like the kidnapping of a special girl and the destruction of one whole part of Midgar in an attempt to suppress the retaliation. Shocking events take place when Avalanche invades the main Shinra building. They escape Midgar and explore the world continuing the try to stop Shinra and to find a mad killer that the main character has a strange relation with. These characters find others that join them in their cause and go through several other adventures reaching their final goal. Many unexpected events take place and aspects of the plot slowly unfold revealing the twisted truth behind everything. What does Shinra have in store for Avalanche? Who is that mad killer and why is the main character so obsessed with him? Why does Shinra want one of the main characters so bad? What is it that a typical girl has that a giant organization would want so desperately? Will Avalanche ever be able to stop Shinra once and for all? Or is Shinra really the one that Avalanche should be going after to reach their goal?
