A Shinra executive enables/allows the power plant bombing as cover for a staged terrorist attack that will wipe out huge amount of poor people and open up their sector for real estate redevelopment.
He sends his secret police out to hunt down witnesses and opposition but along the way finds out that the military has its own rabbithole of dark conspiracies and the whole world is caught up in the aftermath of unaccountable mega corporate covert ops and mad science clashing for how to most completely dominate or destroy the world.
The bad guys fail to take over the world but succeed in destroying it, but that doesn’t mean the world goes away.
Plenty of people still have to live there and have to deal with the aftermath including widespread ecological contamination and horrifically unnatural disease. Somehow the corporation survives.
Don’t forget the mega corporation that has an absolute monopoly
