If you play Final Fantasy VII backwards, it's about a bunch of guys escaping a crator and a guy named Sephiroth using the Black Materia to send a Meteor into space and the main character Cloud picks up a girl who he found laying unconcious in the water.
As the story progresses the main characters begin to dislike each other more and more, eventually leading to Vincent being murdered by the gang shoving him in a coffin, Yuffie is abandoned in a Forest, Tifa quitting to become a barmaid, Barret going to his hometown and regrowing a hand, Cid going back to a crap life in a random town, Red XIII and Cloud getting kidnapped and becoming test subjects, and Aeris joins a church to help her get over it all.
That made me laugh well chuckle to be more exact. You forgot the part where Sephiroth shows his modest hero side by saving Aerith's life when he pulled the sword out and left because a hero needs no thanks.
