When the boundaries of fate are breached, new worlds emerge. The planet holds countless possibilities, each unfolding into a different path. This is one such world.
"The both of us... we're gonna live, the both of us."
Zack Fair defied fate by surviving the Shinra ambush outside Midgar, but his escape altered more than just his own future. Now on the run with young Shinra trooper Cloud Strife, the former SOLDIER is determined to do more than just survive - he's made it his mission to train Cloud, to turn the disoriented, haunted young man into the SOLDIER and hero he once dreamed of becoming.
But Shinra's experiments left Cloud with shattered memories and a broken psyche, making the path to recovery anything but straightforward. When a dangerous contract draws Zack and Cloud into the fight alongside Avalanche, they find themselves swept up in a battle for the planet's future. As they struggle to find their place in this conflict, old enemies, new allies, rekindled flames and long-buried secrets come to light, threatening to reshape the very course of history.
The Unknown Journey is about to be rewritten, and nothing will ever be the same.
