Story =
SOLDIER is a group of skilled combat operatives within the Shinra Electric Power Company. The elite within the group—those strong enough to be deemed SOLDIER 1st Class—are respected and idolized by the citizenry. Zack is a young SOLDIER 2nd Class who aspires to become a 1st. He spends his days carrying out assignments under the guidance of his 1st Class mentor, Angeal Hewley.

During an operation in Wutai, a large number of SOLDIER members, led by 1st Class operative Genesis, went missing. The severity of the situation prompts the Shinra Electric Power Company executives to deploy even more SOLDIER operatives in hopes of bringing an end to the war with Wutai—and conducting an investigation into the mass desertion. The ones assigned to the mission are Zack, Angeal, and the 1st Class hero Sephiroth. Before attacking Wutai, Angeal tells Zack about his childhood in Banora. Zack is assigned to help destroy Wutai units in the fortress. After Zack overwhelms the fortress and destroys the two Anti-SOLDIER monsters, Angeal saves him from another monster lurking behind him. Zack and Angeal begin to escort Director Lazard after he watches Zack's performance from the sidelines but are ambushed by monsters. Angeal tells Zack to continue while he deals with the monsters. After Zack escorts Lazard to Shinra guards, Zack goes back to investigate. He is also ambushed by monsters but kills them and they are discovered to be Genesis copies. Suddenly a summon appears, an Ifrit. After defeating Ifrit, Zack discovers that Angeal is missing and Sephiroth believes it is betrayal.

After returning from the mission, Zack is deployed, along with the Turk leader Tseng, to investigate Banora Village, the hometown of Angeal and Genesis. Zack visits Angeal's house to see if Angeal is there, but finds Angeal's mother instead. There, Angeal's mother asks if he is "Zack the puppy", explaining that Angeal described him with "zero attention span, restless as a little puppy". Zack and Tseng then breaks into a factory in Banora, and finds Genesis and Angeal there. Later, Zack finds Angeal's mother dead in the house along with Angeal standing at one side. Zack believes Angeal killed her. Outside the house he meets Genesis who presents his single black wing, leaving Zack stunned. Genesis summons Bahamut to battle Zack. Zack then runs to a Shin-Ra helicopter, looking back at the village now destroyed, according to Shin-Ra's company rules.

After this, Zack meets Cissnei during a attack that was launched by Genesis. After that attack he is assigned to go with Sephiroth to the Mako power plant to investigate. While at the plant, Sephiroth reveals that he, Angeal and Genesis used to go and sneak in the training room, and he and Genesis fought in the training room. During the fight Angeal intervened and stopped them. As he did so, Genesis was struck in the shoulder as he shattered Angeal's blade. It is there that it is revealed that Genesis began to degrade from his wound as it did not heal. Sephiroth reveals that he wanted to donate some of his blood to Genesis to heal him but was rejected by Hollander as he was the product of Professor Hojo, the rival experiment Project Sephiroth. They explore deeper into the facility and discover that the facility was also used to create Angeal copies using the Mako Energy and that also Angeal's traits can be copied just like Genesis. Hollander appears and Zack is ordered to pursue Hollander. As Zack pursues Hollander, Angeal arrives and stops Zack and he reveals his single white wing on his back. Angeal believes he is a monster and that he chooses to do what a monster does. Zack tries to reassure that he is not a monster and that his wings are the "Wings of an Angel". Angeal then abruptly attacks Zack but the latter chooses not to attack Angeal. Angeal strikes at the floor and Zack falls through the floor, landing in Aerith's church. He meets Aerith, and offers her a date to thank her, but she refuses. Aerith shows Zack the Slum Market, and there he buys Aerith the pink bow for her hair. After Zack arrives in Midgar, he is ordered to go to the Shin-ra Electric company to protect Professor Hojo. After Genesis arrives, he is persuaded not to attack Hojo by Angeal. Genesis recites lines from the poem LOVELESS and flies away. Angeal carries Zack and the latter is then forced to battle another summon, Bahamut Fury.

After the Banora incident, Zack is promoted to SOLDIER 1st class and is tasked with chasing Genesis and the now renegade Angeal, but, whilst flying to Modeoheim via Turk helicopter, it crashes. When he regains consciousness, he wakes the two Shin-Ra guards and Tseng. Upon walking up the nearby hill, he starts talking to a Shinra guard who then reveals himself as Cloud Strife.

After wandering through the hills some more, Zack and Cloud arrives at a mako excavation facility, which Zack must then infiltrate. Once inside, Zack confronts Genesis, who is now degrading. After a brief fight, Genesis appears to have commited suicide.

Once back outside, Zack notices a new path, which leads to the now-isolated town of Modeoheim. In a bathhouse, he encounters Angeal and Hollander. Hollander reveals that Angeal and Genesis were a part of Project G, or Project Gillian. Hollander explains that he is Angeal's biological father, then flees. Angeal transforms into a monster, Angeal Penance, and is defeated by Zack. Zack inherits his Buster Sword.

While Zack is on vacation in Costa del Sol, the town is attack by Genesis copies. Hollander escapes with the help of the copies. After spending more time with Aerith, Zack and Sephiroth and Cloud are assigned to Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown. Tifa volunteers to be their guide. When Sephiroth learns that he was implanted with Jenova cells in the fetal stage and how his mother was detained, he sets the town ablaze and attacks Tifa. Zack then fights him, but is defeated. While Sephiroth is looking at Jenova, Cloud stabs him in the back. He then attempts to finish him off, but is thrown to the ground. Sephiroth stabs him through the chest, but Cloud picks up the sword and throws Sephiroth into the lifestream, where he disappears for four years. Cloud then lies with Zack, both of them injured.

During the four years of Zack and Cloud's disappearance, extensive experiments have been carried out on Zack and Cloud, resulting Cloud suffering from Mako poisoning. However, Zack is not affected by the experiment. They escape Shinra manor, and are now Shinra fugitives. When reaching a dead end at the beach, Cissnei appears and attempts to hit him with her throwing star, but fails. Back with Cloud, Zack is approached by Cissnei again, but this time as a friend. She gives him keys to a motorbike. Before going back to Midgar, Zack resolves to stop Genesis, who is still alive. Zack arrives in Gongaga and he meets Cissnei, and she tells him that he only has minutes before the Turks and the army arrive to catch Zack, and revealing that "Cissnei" was not her real name. As he runs away, he catches a glimpse of a white wing and believes it to be Angeal. At the peak of Gongaga, Genesis is shown to degrade further while Hollander now has a smaller version of Genesis's black wing. Genesis plans to use Cloud's hair as it has the Sephiroth gene necessary to halt the degradation, while Zack kills Hollander. Genesis plans to go to Banora to use the lifestream to stop the degradation as it is his interpretation of "the gift of the goddess." Lazard guards Cloud while Zack goes to fight and defeat Genesis, first in the form of a monster, Genesis Avatar, and then Genesis himself, now cured of his degradation. When Zack returns he brings the defeated Genesis out of the cave and he is set down next to Lazard and Cloud. In addition, the Angeal clone that protected Zack and Aerith in the church in the slums is shown lying dead next to Lazard, having also fought to protect Cloud from the Shinra Army. Soon after, Lazard also dies and Zack is saddened by both of their sacrifices. Zack leaves and returns with dumbapples, which he gives to Cloud and Genesis as well as one for himself. Lazard and the Angeal clone then begin to dissipate into the lifestream, and a letter from Aerith is left where the Angeal clone body disappered. The letters says that it has been four years since Zack disappeared and that this is 89th and final letter she will send out. He leaves Genesis in Banora and takes Cloud along to return to Midgar, to see Aerith again. A lone Genesis is later seen taken away by two SOLDIERs; Weiss & Nero. The Turks attempt to find Zack before the Shinra army and save his life, but fail, and Zack and Cloud are confronted by the Shinra army. With thousands of guns pointed at him, Zack decides to preserve his honor and fight the troops. He is defeated, and the army leaves. As Zack lies dying, he tells Cloud, who has now partially recovered, that he is his living legacy and tells him "my honor, my dreams, they are yours now." Cloud, dragging the heavy Buster Sword behind him, stumbles off towards Midgar while Zack is pulled into the Lifestream by Angeal; Zack wonders if he has become a hero after all.

In a post-credits scene, Aerith takes a flower basket with her above Midgar's plate into Sector 8, and Cloud - now believing himself to be a SOLDIER 1st Class - rides a train into the city. An intertitle states "To be continued in Final Fantasy VII".
