Exactly, fire, water and so on. And the whole thing plays in a huge metropolis, which also has a lot of technology. Aristoteles says melancholic, sanguine and so on. There are big robots, something like artificial suns.

We'll get to that in a moment. It's an energy group called Shinra. This group is engaged in attacks on their energy reactors. Shinra is a company that sucks out the planet's energy to generate electricity and promote all these high-tech developments.
