The Worldwide Network is a vast information database in the world of Final Fantasy VII roughly equivalent to the real world Internet. Unlike the Internet, the Worldwide Network is highly interactive, to the point that whole personalities and egos can be uploaded onto it. Using Synaptic Net Dives, a person can enter the Network via a virtual reality, and better communicate with the sentient minds inside. Shelke the Transparent and Weiss the Immaculate both have the power to perform Synaptic Net Dives. No mention of the Worldwide Network is ever made in the original Final Fantasy VII.
[edit] Role
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
[edit] Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
The Worldwide Network plays a minor role in Crisis Core. Zack Fair can receive E-mails from various people during his adventures. He also can use the stores from around the Planet, and receive and take Missions at Save Points.
[edit] Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-
The Worldwide Network plays a much larger role in the plot of Dirge of Cerberus. Professor Hojo, working at the computer of the Sister Ray Cannon, managed to upload his mind onto the Network just before AVALANCHE comes to kill him. The fall of Meteor badly disrupts and fragments the Network, doing the same to Hojo. His shattered pieces wait inside the off-line Network until the World Regenesis Organization puts it back online.
When Weiss takes a Synaptic Net Dive, Hojo begins to possess his mind. Slowly, Hojo takes control of him until Weiss is just a puppet. From there, Hojo takes command of Deepground, and begins his next experiment.
Shelke is ordered to find the work of Lucrecia Crescent on the power of the Omega Weapon and Chaos. During Shelke's recovery of the date, she gains some aspects of Lucrecia's personality, and slowly begins to recover her emotions. It also causes her to develop feelings for Vincent Valentine.
Hojo is eventually purged from Weiss, and is presumed to have been completely destroyed.
