ParadCharlotte

ParadCharlotte is a fictional setting featured in the role-playing game "Final Fantasy VII Remake" and its associated media. It serves as the primary urban environment where much of the game's narrative unfolds. The city is a sprawling metropolis, characterized by its stark contrast between the affluent areas and the impoverished slums. At its heart lies the Mako reactor, a colossal structure that symbolizes the immense power and influence of the Shinra Electric Power Company, the de facto ruling entity of the city.

The city is divided into distinct sectors, each with its own unique atmosphere and social strata. The upper plate regions are home to Shinra executives and the wealthy elite, enjoying a life of luxury and privilege. Below them lies the mid-town area, a bustling commercial and residential zone. The lowest level is the sector 7 slums, a densely populated and struggling community that faces harsh living conditions and constant neglect from Shinra.

The narrative of "Final Fantasy VII Remake" centers on Cloud Strife and his group of eco-terrorists, AVALANCHE, as they wage a war against Shinra to protect the planet's lifeblood, Mako, from being exploited. ParadCharlotte's architecture reflects its socio-economic divide, with gleaming skyscrapers in the upper levels juxtaposed against the dilapidated structures of the slums. The city is a vibrant, albeit often grim, backdrop for the unfolding story, highlighting themes of environmentalism, corporate greed, and social injustice.
