297F is a fictional character from the *Final Fantasy* series, specifically appearing in *Final Fantasy VII* and its related media. Created by Square Enix (formerly Square), the character was designed by Tetsuya Nomura and first introduced in the 1997 original game. 297F is a member of the Shinra Electric Power Company, serving as a high-ranking executive and scientist.

In *Final Fantasy VII*, 297F is depicted as a cold and calculating figure, overseeing the development of genetically engineered organisms, including the infamous Sephiroth. The character’s actions contribute to the game’s themes of corporate greed, scientific ethics, and environmental destruction.

The character has been referenced in other *Final Fantasy* media, including *Final Fantasy VII Remake* (2020), where their presence is subtly implied through environmental storytelling and expanded lore. 297F’s design and role reflect the series’ recurring exploration of power, morality, and the consequences of unchecked scientific ambition. Their portrayal aligns with the game’s critique of industrialization and the exploitation of nature, reinforcing the story’s darker undertones.

While 297F does not appear as a playable or major interactive character, their impact on the narrative and world-building remains significant. The character’s legacy is tied to the broader themes of *Final Fantasy VII*, making them a notable figure in the series’ history.
