history:Many Years Ago:
* The Cetra, a nomadic magical race which may or may not have originated on the Planet, settle after a long and arduous journey. Some Cetra (later known as Ancients) choose to continue their journey, whilst others settle down and eventually become humans. A few true Cetra still survive, however. [FF7]
* The Cetra create a tablet describing the existence of Chaos and Omega and their purpose. This tablet will be discovered by Dr. Grimoire Valentine and Dr. Lucrecia Crescent, providing the spark for their experiments. [DoC]
2000 Years B.G.:
* JENOVA, a malevolent creature, crash-lands on the planet and causes a huge rift, the Northern Crater. JENOVA infects the Cetra with a virus, turning them into monsters. Most of the remaining Cetra are slaughtered as the humans hide out in their new settlements, avoiding the terror. The Planet creates five Weapons to battle JENOVA, but they are never used. A small number of surviving Cetra succeed in containing her in the Northern Crater. The Planet begins to heal itself using its life energy. (It never fully heals.) [FF7]
Between 1999 - 41 B.G.:
* The Shinra Electric Company emerges as the leading energy provider in the world. They use Mako energy, which is drawn from the bowels of the earth. Mako is also known as Lifestream, a spirit force which is shared by the planet and everyone living on it. Condensed Mako, known as Materia, draws a high market for its magical properties. Eventually Shinra diversifies into military, political, urban development, scientific, astronomical, and communications departments and becomes known as the 'Shinra Corporation', or simply 'Shinra'. [FF7]
* The existence of Shinra gives way to Midgar, the city constructed around the central power plant. Eight Mako Reactors are placed at the edge of the circular city to provide power to the two levels: the upper plate consists of the well-to-do society, and under the plate, where the slums are.
* Knowing the Mako can't last forever, Shinra begins conducting a search for the rumored 'Promised Land', a land of supreme happiness and abundant Mako. Only the Ancients know of its location, and Shinra intends to build 'Neo-Midgar' there. [Conjecture: in DoC, Dr. Valentine mentions the ancient tablet may contain info regarding 'Promised Land', so we can assume they are already looking for it at this point.]
* The Turks are formed as an internal and hush-hush departement in Shinra; they carry out less desirable missions like kidnapping and assassinations. [FF7]
55 B.G.:
* Vincent Valentine is born. [FF7 - Remember that Hojo's experiments on Vincent allow him to live much longer (theoretically forever). He was killed when he was 27 and stays that age perpetually.]
c. 40 B.G. :
* The peaceful tribe living in Cosmo Canyon is attacked by the violent Gi tribe. Seto, a wolf-like creature, protects the Canyon by going through a secret passage, and succeeds in holding off the Gi tribe, but is pierced by their petrifying arrows and turns to stone in the end. The tribe, including Seto's son, Nanaki, believes Seto turned tail and fled. Only Seto's father-in-law, Bugenhagen, knows the truth. [FF7]
35 B.G.:
* Barret Wallace is born in Corel Village. [FF7]
32 B.G.:
* Cid Highwind is born. [FF7]
30 - 29 B.G.
* Professor Gast, Shinra's leading scientist, heads a team including a young man named Hojo, a woman named Lucrecia into the Nibelheim Mountains. Gast excavates the body of JENOVA, whom he believes to be an Ancient, and sets up his research lab in the Shinra Mansion in the nearby town. [FF7]
* Grimoire Valentine, Vincent Valentine's father, discovers an ancient Cetran tablet describing Omega and Chaos, a partnership capable of destroying the world. He believes it may have to do with the "Promised Land" and is given permission to study it. He also takes on an assistant - Dr. Lucrecia Crescent. Together, they discover a cavern, which they reason is where Chaos will eventually awake. They also find the Protomateria there. [DoC]
* During an experiment on a dark substance they they find there (later known as "G-substance"), it jumps out of the regeneration tube and attacks Dr. Valentine. He later dies of the wound and Lucrecia blames herself for it. [DoC]
* Vincent Valentine joins the Turks. [DoC]
29 B.G.:
* Vincent Valentine is assigned to protect Lucrecia Crescent while she is working with Dr. Hojo, a brilliant Shinra scientist. He does not know his father was working with Dr. Crescent before he died. [FF7 and DoC]
* Vincent falls for Lucrecia, but he also sees that she is in love with Hojo, and resigns himself to that fate. Lucrecia also chooses Hojo and his proposed experiment on her unborn child. She does so because she feels guilty about Vincent's father. Vincent discovers this fact, and additional information about the experiment that killed him. The effects of this on their relationship are unknown, but there is strife. [FF7 and DoC]
28 B.G.:
* Lucrecia's son is born and given the name Sephiroth. He is not told his true origins, however, instead being told that his mother, named JENOVA, died giving birth to him. [FF7]
* When Vincent discovers that Sephiroth is a result of Hojo having injected Lucrecia's yet-unborn baby with JENOVA's DNA, Vincent loses it and confronts Hojo. Hojo kills Vincent and conducts an operation on his body, reviving him and turning him into an unstable monster capable of mutating further when angered. [FF7 and DoC]
* However, Vincent's body proves unstable, and Lucrecia takes it to perform further experiments on it. She injects Vincent with the Chaos gene; the process unleashes Chaos for a moment, but it is quickly subdued. She takes the Protomateria and embeds it in Vincent's body, fully reviving him but leaving him with the effects of both Hojo's experimentation (the ability to turn into monsters) and the Chaos gene. [DoC]
* A short period later, Lucrecia dies, though her induction of JENOVA cells seems to have some sort of after effect. Vincent remains ignorant of her fate. In disgrace, Vincent enters a coffin in the Shinra Mansion and falls into a deep sleep. A "reflection" of Lucrecia remains inside a crystal in the Waterfall Cave.[DoC and FF7]
25-22 B.G.:
* Dr. Gast also flees from Hojo and runs to Icicle Inn in the north, where he discovers a Cetra named Ifalna, who he believes is the last of her race. Hoping to get information on the Promised Land, he videotapes his interviews with her, but eventually falls in love. [FF7]
22 B.G.:
* Dr. Gast and Ifalna have a child together. They name their daughter Aeris. [FF7]
* 20 days after Aeris is born, Hojo storms the inn, discovers the Ancients and attempts to take them. Dr. Gast is killed trying to protect them, and Ifalna and Aeris are captured by Hojo. [FF7, Aeris's age from BC]
21 B.G.:
* Cloud Strife is born in Nibelheim. [FF7]
20 B.G.:
* Tifa Lockheart is born in Nibelheim. [FF7]
16 B.G.:
* Yuffie Kisaragi is born in Wutai to King Godo. [FF7]
c. 15 B.G.:
* Shinra's military wing proceeds to declare war on Wutai, an Oriental village. Shinra is eventually victorious, and its leader Godo humbled. Eventually Wutai loses its status as an honorable and polite nation and becomes a tourist attraction. [FF7]
* Ifalna somehow manages to take Aeris and escape Hojo. Gravely injured, she makes it to the Midgar Sector 7 Train Station before collapsing. A woman named Elmyra discovers them, and promises they dying mother to take care of Aeris, as her own husband had died during the Midgar-Wutai war. Ifalna gives Aeris the White Materia, a legendary stone which has the power to call Holy. Aeris grows up thinking the Materia doesn't do anything at all. [FF7]
* Over time, Aeris begins to show a strange talent. She is able to sense the death of Elmyra's husband out at war with Wutai before Elmyra actually gets word of it. She also seems to be able to 'talk to the Planet'. [FF7]
* Eventually she gathers the interest of the Turks, who watch her, trying to persuade her to join their ranks. Aeris takes up a job as a flower girl in the Midgar slums. [FF7]
* Cid Highwind, creator of the Tiny Bronco biplane, is given the go-ahead by Shinra to launch a space rocket from his home town. Having looked forward to this time for ages, his excitement is mounting when his assistant, Shera, discovers a malfunction in an energy tank. She refuses to leave the soon-to-be-burning-hot chamber, and Cid forces himself to shut the rocket down before it can ignite. He refuses to forgive Shera for destroying his dream, and Shera lives with him in penance from then on, acting as a servant. [FF7]
15 - 10 B.G.:
* Hojo performs experiments using cells from the body of JENOVA. He infuses Shinra soldiers with JENOVA cells. The results are staggering - those who are infected have strength and skills far beyond normal persons. Based on these results, Shinra forms SOLDIER, a program designed to use and train an elite military force by infusing subjects with Mako and JENOVA cells. [FF7]
* Sephiroth quickly rises in the ranks of the Shinra military, due to his being the prototype for the SOLDIER program. He is monitored continuously and shows promise far beyond anyone else. [BC and FF7: It's hard to say what Square means by prototype, as FF7 says SOLDIER was created well after Sephiroth was born, and that Sephiroth was part of the JENOVA project, but BC says Sephiroth was the SOLDIER prototype. We may assume that by Prototype, they could mean role model, or the SOLDIER program was simply not officially introduced until after Sephiroth had been deemed a success.]
* This is also the earliest mention of the Turks, which are technically known as the Investigation Division of the General Affairs Department in Shinra. [BC]
* Cloud and Tifa grow up next to each other in the city of Nibelheim. They are not particularly friends, however much Cloud would like it to be otherwise. After the death of Tifa's mother, she runs into the Nibel Mountains. Cloud follows her, but a bridge they both stand on breaks, and Cloud is blamed for the injuries suffered by Tifa. They later have a conversation by a well where Cloud tells Tifa of his desire to go to Midgar and join SOLDIER, and promises to come back for Tifa if he should make it big in Midgar. [FF7]
* Hojo brings his experiments to the Mako Reactor in Nibelheim, which involve dousing human beings in condensed Mako. Eventually the humans become completely unrecognizable monsters, but they are watched closely in sealed containers. The suspended-animation device containing JENOVA is moved there as well. [FF7]
10 B.G.:
* Denzel is born to well-to-do parents in Sector 1. [OAWTAS: Denzel]
10 B.G. - 7 B.G.:
* President Shinra turns a SOLDIER hospital underneath Sector 0 of Midgar into Deepground, an elite battle unit whose soldiers undergo high-level Mako conditioning. The only others who know of this top-secret project are Hojo, Heidigger, and Scarlet. [DoC]
* Shelke and Shalua Rui's mother passes away. [DoC]
* Zack, a Gongaga native who has moved to Midgar to join SOLDIER, meets Aeris. The two date for a while, but Aeris cannot take the fact that he is in such a violent organization and they break up [FF7 Conjecture: The time where Zack and Aeris date is never said, but it is reasonable to assume it was before Zack became a SOLDIER]
7 B.G.:
* Cloud moves to Midgar and joins Shinra. He attempts to join SOLDIER as well, but fails to make the cut. Instead he is relegated to a small position in the Shinra military force, little more than a grunt. [FF7]
* Shelke Rui is kidnapped or recruited by Deepground after they recognize her deep-diving abilities. Her sister Shalua begins her quest to find her. [DoC]
