Gaia (Final Fantasy VII)
Gaia is the
fictional world in the
1997 console role-playing game Final Fantasy VII. The game's setting follows in the footsteps of Final Fantasy VI by presenting a world with considerably more advanced technology than the first five games in the series. Overall, the game's technology and society approximates that of modern or near-future
science fiction. The world of Final Fantasy VII, retroactively named "Gaia" but referred to in the game as The Planet, is composed of three land masses. The eastern continent features the city of
Midgar, an industrial
metropolis that serves as the headquarters of the
Shinra Electric Power Company, a ruthless mega corporation that operates as the
de facto world government. Shinra's major military base, Junon, is also located on the continent, along with a chocobo ranch and a small town called Kalm.
