| ======================================================================== - [ F I N A L F A N T A S Y V I I W A L K T H R O U G H ] - ======================================================================== SYSTEM: Sony PS-X Playstation (Japan) TITLE: Final Fantasy VII TYPE: Role Playing Game DEVELOPER: Squaresoft of Japan PRICE: 6,800 yen AVAILABILITY: -Now- FEATURES: 3 CD set, CG rendered backdrops, polygonal landmap environment ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBJECT: Final Fantasy VII - The Walkthrough v1.06 VERSION: 1.06 (Build 4.12.97) EDITOR'S NOTE: Here is version 1.06 of the walkthrough for Final Fantasy VII. Please note that this guide will assume that you have at least a minimal understanding of Japanese (katakana & hiragana), due to the extensive length & gameplay of this epic saga. For details on operating the window control menus, how to save, info on best equipting the materia, and of the sort, please refer to the "Reference Section", which is located towards the end of this guide. For details on the various secrets & tricks encountered so far in FFVII, please refer to the "Tips & Tricks Section", which is located right after the Reference Section. It is also recommended that you view this document in a font with a [fixed width] such as courier, as the layout for this walkthrough has been optimized in using the courier font. But just a suggestion, of course. On a final note, I HIGHLY urge you to only use this walkthrough on a minimal basis and on certain instances where you may find yourself "stuck" without any other options to spare - as the only greatest reward achieved from playing an epic rpg as Final Fantasy VII is truly the feeling of accomplishment through your own efforts...

You will be given choices in response to the various interaction with the characters & environment. Note that the majority of the choices encountered in FFVII have a certain level of significance in the course of your saga. In certain decision points, you will be given only 1 chance to answer them correctly, so be aware of your actions.... [Tip!] = Tip point. (duh) From time to time, little advises on certain situations will be given, for assisting you in solving certain sequence of events without completely losing the game's innovative appeal due to using this walkthrough or "cheat" as some would say.... [^o^] = Secret/trick point. In the course of your epic saga, there will be various opportunities to find secret artifacts, hidden events & sequences, or little added bonuses. Some events require that you accomplish a certain sequence, while others are merely well hidden. Advises & solutions will be provided to help you cover as much of those secrets that the wizards at Squaresoft have managed to hide within these 3CDs... [OP!] = Optional Event. There will be several optional/side events throughout the course of your journeys - none of which will have any effect to the primary storyline, whether if you take part in the optional side events or not. These optional side events are, however, great opportunities to obtain certain special artifacts or even a hidden materia or two... ======================================================================== [ FFVII Walkthrough : DISK 1 ] ======================================================================== [1.]---[ Inside Area 1 of Makoro Industrial Complex ] o Proceeding the introductory sequence, as you along with the few resistance members, known as the "abaranche", leap off the train, Barrett will urge you to hurry & follow. o Battle your way up to the outer gate of the industrial complex - the rest of the resistance members (Vicks, Wedge, JC) will be waiting there for you. o Talk to Vicks. He will then ask for you name. (refer to the Reference Section for details on the control interface of the name screen) As the gate is opened and the resistance members proceed through, go ahead & customize Barrett's name to your own preference, or leave it as is. o Battle your way through the industrial levels of the Makoro complex - talk to JC in order to open the 2 gates. Upon reaching the elevator, JC will tell you to push the elevator controls. Upon leaving the elevator, JC will later stop to tell you the controls to maneuvering around the ladder & beams. (Press Circle button to leap onto ladder) (Use directional pad to maneuver) o Upon reaching the core level of the Makoro complex, Cloud will proceed to initiate the bomb. Prepare for a battle sequence w/the level boss. o You will then have 10 minutes to escape the Makoro complex. Well, what are you waiting for? RUN! (Make sure not to leave anyone behind inside the complex) o Upon successfully making your escape, Barrett will tell everyone to meet at the train station. o Shortly after, you will encounter Aerith for the very first time. (At this early point in the game, she is identified only as a young girl selling flowers) Aerith will approach you to ask what had happened. [!] You will be given a choice to respond: Top Choice -> Tell Aerith to escape/run as well Bottom Choice -> Tell Aerith not to worry...and [!] If you choose the bottom choice, you will be given another choice: Top Choice -> Show interest in Aerith's flowers Bottom Choice -> Nevermind [!] If you choose the top choice & show interest in Aerith's flowers, Aerith will offer to sell you some flowers. You can respond: Top Choice -> Buy the flowers for 1 Gil Bottom Choice -> Do not buy [Tip!] - If you choose to buy the flowers, there will be a little "bonus" scene that will occur later on at the bar in the slum town of Agito w/Tifa & Marin. o After Aerith gives you the flowers, proceed on through the Area 8 city. Guards will be lurking around -- You will even be given choices if you want to confront the guards or not. (Choose the top choice to fight them, the bottom to run) (Note: You will only have a few seconds to make this decision) o Upon making your leaping escape onto the train & gather back together w/the abaranche/resistance, talk to everyone. You will need to talk to JC for information on the structure & foundation of Midgar (how the cities are divided into 8 subsections and named w/numerical area values - i.e. Area 8) and the Shinra corporation. He later goes on to explain how each of the 8 subsections have ID censor checkpoints which are interconnected to Shinra Corp's host computer. (If you talk to JC once more, he will suggest possibly giving you a gift that he made. - Choose the top choice to deny it, or choose the bottom choice to accept it if & when he does have it) o Upon reaching the train station of Area 7, Barrett will tell everyone to head to the slum town of Agito. Follow them. [2.]---[ Slum Town of Agito: Abaranche Headquarters ] o Head into the bar - the rest of the Abaranche/resistance members will be there, as well as Barrett's daughter (Marin) and Tifa. After Marin mistakes you for her father, Barrett, Tifa will approach you, welcoming you back. Tifa will first ask you if you had any quarrels with Barrett during your mission. [!] You can respond: Top Choice -> Tell Tifa you quarreled/argued with Barrett Bottom Choice -> Tell Tifa you restrained/held yourself from quarreling with Barrett If you chose the bottom choice, Tifa will complement you in a surprised manner that you are acting more mature now. Name screen will pop up - customize Tifa's name to your own preference or leave it as is. o If you bought those flowers earlier from Aerith, Tifa will notice the flowers. She will be surprised that you found flowers in Midgar. [!] You will be given a choice - You can: Top Choice -> Give the flowers to Tifa Bottom Choice -> Give the flowers to Marin (Barrett's daughter) (I will leave this choice up to you -- although if you really must know, I chose to give them to Tifa) (^o^) o Walk towards the entrance of the bar - Barrett will rush in. After Barrett & the rest of the Abaranche members head down to the secret headquarters, talk to Tifa. (NOTE: Depending on who you gave the flowers to, will determine what Tifa will say to you. If you chose to give the flowers to Marin (Barrett's daughter), Tifa will urge you to follow them down to the headquarters.) [!] If you chose to give the flowers to Tifa, she will offer a drink to you. You can respond: Top Choice -> Tell Tifa you do not feel like drinking at the moment. Bottom Choise -> Tell Tifa you want a sharp/heavy shot of liquor. o After the light conversation, Tifa will urge you to go down to the headquarters. As Cloud & Barrett once more get into an arguement, Cloud emphasizes the fact that he feels no obligation to neither the Shinra Corp or the Abaranche, despite the fact that he once used to be a "soldier". o Head back to the bar level. Tifa will shortly follow after you, urging you to help Barrett & the Abaranche against the Shinra Corp. Cloud states, as he did before, that he has no interest in whether or not the planet is in danger of destruction. Tifa argues how Cloud is so easily willing to part away from the long friendship they had once shared since they were young children. [!] In response to this, you can respond: Top Choice -> Tell Tifa that what she speaks of is meaningless (Similar to saying "Whatever" in English) Bottom Choice -> Tell Tifa solemnly that there is nothing else he can do.... (Either choice will result in the same response) Tifa then continues to remind Cloud of his special "promise"... ...a promise Cloud made 7 years ago to which he would come save Tifa in the case if she were to ever be in trouble... o Barrett will shortly come in & give Cloud the money due to him for the earlier mission, as promised. Cloud then offers to take part in the next mission for double the price - 3000 gil. o Head up to the bar level & talk to Barrett - he will tell you that the next target is the Area 5 Makoro industrial complex. He will then ask you to teach him how to equipt & use the materia orbs. [!] You will be given a choice - you can respond: Top Choice -> Although it is too much work, you will explain Bottom Choice -> It is too much work.... Assuming you chose the top choice, a demo sequence will start, showing the steps in how to equipt & use the materia orbs. For further details, please refer to the "Reference Section" of this guide. o Tifa will also join in your character party. Before heading off to the train station, explore the town and purchase any supplies you may need on your journey. [3.]---[ Train Sequence - To Area 5 Makoro industrial complex ] o Proceed on boarding the train - a sequence will soon take place, as the Shinra's ID scanning system will burst out in full alert. Follow & run past each train cart within the time frame given or the doors will lock. Well, what are you waiting for? Run! o Upon making your leaping escape from the train, proceed down the train tunnel. You will encounter a section gated off by the laser barrier. Just to the left of it lies a small hole that will lead to inside the Area 5 Makoro industrial complex. Go ahead & proceed in. o Battle your way through the corridors of the inner Makoro industrial complex. Head down to the core area of the complex, similar to the place where you planted the bomb at the Area 1 Makoro complex. Upon reaching there, Cloud will briefly experience a flashback which had taken place years ago. o After planting the bomb to the core, proceed to head up to the control center -- there, Tifa will instruct you to push the botton at the same time as they do, in order for the gate to open. (Simply coordinate Cloud's action with Tifa & Barrett as they press the button. It will take a few tries before you get it.) o Proceed on to the bridgecross -- you will find yourself surrounded by an army of guards, met by the president of Shinra himself. Prepare yourself for a battle against the subboss, "Airbuster" robot. o After defeating the subboss "Airbuster" robot, a brief fmv sequence will follow, as Cloud falls to the depths of the city below... [4.]---[ Area 5 - Encounter with Aerith ] o Finding himself with Aerith in a chapel of Area 5 slums, go ahead & talk to Aerith - in the course of the conversation, she will ask you if you still remember her. [!] You can respond to her: Top Choice -> Tell Aerith you recall meeting her before Bottom Choice -> Tell Aerith you do not remember [!] If you chose the top choice in that you recall meeting her before, another set a choices will be given - you remember her as: Top Choice -> She was selling flowers... Bottom Choice -> She was drunk on the streets... - I hope you chose the top choice - (^o^) - [!] As the conversation continues, Aerith asks if you do not mind talking to her more... You can respond: Top Choice -> You do not mind the conversation Bottom Choice -> There is nothing you wish to talk about. o Assuming you chose the top choice, she will tell you to wait a minute, as she finishes tending the flowers. Talk to her once more - you both will formally introduce your names to each other - the name screen will appear. (customize Aerith's name to your own preference, or leave as is) As the Shinra guard walks into the scene, talk to Aerith once more - she will ask if you will become her hired bodyguard, and request that you escort her safely to her house. As a payment for Cloud's services, Aerith offers to go on a date with Cloud later on. (^o^) o Proceed on up towards the top of the chapel -- a sequence will occur, as Aerith falls from the top ledge before making the leap. As the guards begin to close in on Aerith, Cloud quickly notices the few barrels positioned on the beams above him. [!] You will be given a choice: Top Choice -> Tell Aerith to wait a little while. Middle Choice -> Tell Aerith to fight the guards. Bottom Choice -> Tell Aerith to run from the guards. (I will leave this option up to you -- I do not want to spoil all the fun out of these intense moments from you, ya know.) o After making your escape w/Aerith through the roof of the chapel, proceed on to Aerith's house, located to the far northeastern part of the Area 5 slum town. o Upon reaching Aerith's house, you will be welcomed by Elmina, Aerith's foster mother. As Cloud then suggests that he needs to go to Area 7 in meeting up with Tifa, Aerith will curiously question of your relationship with Tifa. [!] You can response to Aerith that Tifa is: Top Choice -> Not your girlfriend. Bottom Choice -> Is your girlfriend. (I will leave this choice up to you) o Head up to the stairs to rest. Seeing it that he should not involve Aerith into a dangerous situation, Cloud decides to sneak out & head to Area 7 without her. You must sneak out of the house without making any noises or Aerith will hear you & you will have to start over. (Hint: Try not to run) o Leave the slum town. You will find Aerith waiting for you at the entrance to Area 6. o As you approach near the entrance to Area 7, Cloud suggests that Aerith return to her house. [!] You are given a choice - If Aerith says she does not want to go back, how would you respond: Top Choice -> Take her back to her house. Bottom Choice -> Take her with you to Area 7. (Although I chose the bottom choice & chose to take her with me to Area 7, I am pretty sure the outcome will be the same in either choice) As a little sequence is proceeded between Cloud & Aerith at the playground area, a caravan with Tifa approaches the scene & heads off to the slum town nearby. Follow Aerith to the slum town. [5.]---[ Area 6 - Inside the Slum Town & Encountering Corneo... ] o Explore the slum town - you will find that there are many.... ...interesting people who inhabit this little slum town. o First, you will need to head to the "girl bar", located towards the lower southeastern end of the slum town, and talk to the towns people there. [!] If you talk to the manager there (the character in the big red vest), he will ask you if you are looking for females - you can respond: Top Choice -> Ask him if he knows where Tifa is. Bottom Choice -> Tell him you have no interest in his business. If you chose the top choice, asking him about Tifa's whereabouts, he will tell you that Don Corneo has taken her to his mansion. o Now head up to Corneo's mansion, located to the very top end of the slum town. Talk to the guard standing front. As you find out that only females are allowed into Corneo's mansion, Aerith suggests that you alter your appearance to disguise as a female. o You must now obtain a dress for Cloud to disguise in. Go to the clothing shop - talk to the clerk behind the counter. He will tell you unless his father can stop drinking & get to work more, the dress that Cloud seeks will not be completed. o You must now talk to the father of the clerk - he is in the bar, located right across from the weapon/gun shop. [!] Talk to the father - once Aerith convinces him to make a dress for Cloud, he will ask you what type of dress you want: Top Choice -> A smooth dress Bottom Choice -> A silky dress [!] You will be given another set of choices: Top Choice -> A shiny dress Bottom Choice -> A well-blended dress [Tip!] - Top Choice for 1st + either Top or Bottom for 2nd will get you a "cotton dress" - Bottom Choice for 1st + Top Choice for 2nd will get you a "satin dress" - Bottom Choice for 1st + Bottom Choice for 2nd will get |
