Final Fantasy VII is an unlicensed "Shanzhai" demake of SquareSoft role-playing game of the same name, originally released for PlayStation in 1997. This two-dimensional "port" was developed and published by Chinese company Shenzhen Nanjing Technology for Subor, a Nintendo's Family Computer clone console series (internationally known as the NES). The cartridge itself is unique, as it is structurally different from licensed Famicom cartridges in terms of hardware and programming.
Just as Kazuma, a former rising star in the Yakuza, emerges from prison after a murder cover-up, 10 billion yen vanishes from the Yakuza vault, forcing him once again into their brutal, lawless world. A mysterious young girl will lead Kazuma to the answers if he can keep her alive.
