Midgar - Final Fantasy VII (In Development)

Jgius

Midgar from Final Fantasy VII, a dystopian city dominated by the Shinra Corporation.

Author's Note: Experience Midgar from Final Fantasy VII (mixing the 1997' and the Ramake version). Because of the city's verticality, this version of Midgar is structured very differently from what you would see in the official games, like how slums were positioned on the sides of the sectors, to create distance between the plates and the underground areas. Another key factor of structural changes is the map editor of Friends & Fables, it only supports rectangles, making it impossible to create actual "sectors" in a triangular shape. Big buildings are actually "areas", providing more complexity with their inner structure, for example with "Shinra's Headquarters" it was possible to make a complex series of rooms, labs and key areas. Even though the world editor is full of interesting settings and tools, adapting the world of Final Fantasy 7 to a world of Friends & Fables is not an easy task, for example, it's impossible to use just one "currency", forcing us to add Gold, Silver and Copper Gilds, which don't exist in the official world. In this version of Midgar, you can visit every place that you would play in Final Fantasy 7 and in addition to that you can visit places that were only mentioned in the official games.

Description

The Urban Planning Administration within Shinra Headquarters is a key department responsible for the development and management of Midgar's infrastructure. This office is characterized by its sterile, bureaucratic environment, filled with large maps, blueprints, and high-tech displays showcasing the city’s layout. The decor is functional, with minimalist furnishings and bright, fluorescent lighting that emphasizes efficiency. Staffed by urban planners and engineers, the department focuses on zoning, resource allocation, and the implementation of Shinra's policies to ensure optimal city growth. It plays a crucial role in controlling the distribution of resources and managing the overall urban environment, often prioritizing Shinra's corporate interests over the needs of the city's residents. The Urban Planning Administration exemplifies the intersection of corporate power and urban development in Midgar.
