*** TIN_1: Last Train from Midgar ***
Last train out of Sector 8 Station. Last stop is Sector 7, Train Graveyard. Expected time of arrival is 12:23AM, Midgar Standard Time...
This is why I hate the last train. Hoo-boy...
Sleeping man:
Huh...? This is my house, so make yourselves at home.
Sitting man:
You see the headlines in the Shinra Times?
The terrorists that bombed the No. 1 Reactor are based somewhere in the slums.
...blowing up a Reactor... they sure put some thought into this one.
They must have a real calculating leader. I wonder what they'll do next?
Barret:
Stop actin' like a damn kid. Si'down an' shu'up!
Cloud:
Sorry, but I have a thing against sitting down in trains.
Biggs:
It seems this train hasn't switched to security mode yet.
I'm sure that will change by tomorrow.
Biggs:
...YAWN... that sure took its toll on me. I'm gonna sleep till we get to the station.
Wedge:
Someday AVALANCHE's gonna be famous ...and me, too!
Wedge:
Cloud!!
Don't ya think I got a bright future ahead of me?
What do you have in mind?
Wedge:
All my life, I felt like nothin' but a sidekick.
But, after joinin' AVALANCHE and tryin' to save the Planet, I feel like I can do lots of things.
I wouldn't hold my breath
Wedge:
Oh man, that's pretty harsh, Cloud. You really think I won't?
Try going into next car
Please!! You're bothering the other passengers.
Talk to Jessie
Jessie:
Hey, Cloud. You want to look at this with me?
It's a map of the Midgar Rail System. Let's look at it together. I'll explain it to you.
Jessie:
I like this kinda stuff. Bombs and monitors... you know, flashy stuff.
*** ROOTMAP: Last Train from Midgar ***
Jessie:
Cloud! Look this way.
Jessie:
Okay, it's about to start.
Jessie:
This is a complete model of the city of Midgar.
It's about a 1/10000 scale.
The top plate is about 50 meters above ground.
A main support structure holds the plate up in the center, and there are other support structures built in each section...
psst...whisper...whisper... (The No. 1 Reactor we blew up was in the northern section.)
Then there's No. 2, No. 3 all the way up to the No. 8 Reactor.
The 8 Reactors provide Midgar with electricity.
Each town used to have a name, but no one in Midgar remembers them.
Instead of names, we refer to them by numbered sectors. That's the kind of place this is.
Jessie:
Phew..., this is next! Look.
Jessie:
This is the route this train is on.
The route spirals around the main support structure.
We should be coming around the center area, right now.
At each checkpoint, an ID sensor device is set up.
It can check the identities and background on each and every passenger on the train by linking it up to the central data bank at Shinra headquarters.
whisper... whisper... (Anyone could tell that we look suspicious, so we're using fake ID's.)
*** TIN_1: Last Train from Midgar ***
Jessie:
Speak of the devil...
That light means that we're in the ID Security Check area.
...whisper...whisper... (When the lights go off, you never know what kind of creeps'll come out.)
...anyhow, we're almost back now. That's a relief.
Jessie:
I know!
Next time, I'll give you one I made myself.
Thanks anyway
Choose this to date Tifa
Jessie:
Oh yeah, you might regret it. I'm the type who takes things personal.
Looking forward to it
Choose this to date Barret/Aeris/Yuffie
Jessie:
Okay, then I'll put a little extra effort in and make it with a BANG.
Jessie:
We're almost there. After talking with you, I really want to do it!
I think you've lit my fuse!
Wedge:
I'm seein' stars. This sucks. I hate the dark.
Biggs:
...snore...heebeebeeheebee...snore... (Don't act so damn big, Barret... snooze...)
Walk toward Barret
Barret:
Look... you can see the surface now. This city don't have no day or night.
If that plate weren't there... we could see the sky.
Cloud:
A floating city... Pretty unsettling scenery.
Barret:
Huh?
Never expect ta hear that outta someone like you.
...you jes' full of surprises.
Barret:
The upper world... a city on a plate...
It's 'cuz of that &^#$# 'pizza', that people underneath are sufferin'!
Barret:
And the city below is full of polluted air.
Barret:
On topa that, the Reactor keeps drainin' up all the energy.
Cloud:
Then why doesn't everyone move onto the Plate?
Barret:
Dunno. Probably 'cuz they ain't got no money. Or, maybe...
'Cuz they love their land, no matter how polluted it gets.
Cloud:
I know... no one lives in the slums because they want to.
It's like this train. It can't run anywhere except where its rails take it.
*** MDS7ST3: Sector 7 Station ***

Yo!! Get over here, all'ya!!

Barret:

This mission was a success. But don't get lazy now.
The hard part's still to come! Don't y'all be scared of that explosion!
Barret:
Cause the next one's gonna be bigger than that!
Barret:
Meet back at the hideout!! Move out!
Train conductor:
When you've been a train man as long as I have, you see a lot of people and a lot of lives.
People meeting, parting, joy, sadness... After a while, it doesn't even get to you anymore.
Train conductor:
I wonder how long it's been... There's an invisible rail between me and the passengers.
I could never live their lives. I'm just a train man plain and simple. It's easier that way.
Train conductor:
That's not to say that the crossing gate of my heart doesn't hurt now and again.
Back during the war, I remember there was a lot of painful scenes then.
But, that's a story for another day...
Train conductor:
First train leaves Midgar at 05:04am.
Couple:
I'm not letting you go tonight.
Wow!

You gotta be tougher!

Huh? You come to see it, too?
There was a bombing on top. If this pillar should come down, everyone in the slums is dust...
Well, there's no point in worryin' about that.

No, what?
Ya see, I keep on top of these things, an' if ya ask me......
If you knock out Midgar's power, then all of its computers and signals are going to be knocked out too.
Financially there must've been about a billion gil worth of damage.
An' that ain't all!! A lotta innocent people got killed too!
If the explosion had been in the middle of the night, that woulda been one thing. At least the people coulda gone in their sleep.

I'm not only informed, I'm kinda nosey too. Anyhow, I got the scoop.

You bet!
That Barret and three of his henchmen are like this sometimes.
Suddenly, they threw out a customer and start talking trash to him. It's strange, if you ask me. And that place always smells like gun powder.
It's dangerous, I tell you. They must be doing terrible things in there.

But that Barret, busted it up.
Shot it up with that weird machine gun hand of his. Blam, blam, blam.

*** MDS7PB_2: AVALANCHE Hideout ***
Check TV
President Shinra:
.........today the No.1 Reactor was bombed. The terrorist group AVALANCHE has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
It is expected that AVALANCHE will continue its reign of terror.
But citizens of Midgar, there is no need to fear.
I have immediately mobilized SOLDIER to protect our citizenry against this senseless violence. Thank you and good night.
Jessie:
Oops...
Hey, look at the news... What a blast.
Think it was all because of my bomb? But all I really did was just make it like the computer told me.
Oh no! I must've made a miscalculation somewhere.
Jessie:
Hey, that was my bomb's debut. Makes me kinda proud.
Wedge:
You think I'm a little too uptight?
Yeah...
The next mission will be to blow up the Sector 5 Reactor.
Cloud, you're great! Don't you ever get nervous?
Or are you like, impervious to feelings? Naw, that couldn't be it.
No...
Well, that's ok. Don't worry about me. I don't look like it, but I'm a coward at heart.
Approach Barret
Barret:
Yo, Cloud! There's somethin' I wanna ask ya.
Was there anyone from SOLDIER fighting us today?
Cloud:
None. I'm positive.
Barret:
You sound pretty sure.
Cloud:
If there was anyone from SOLDIER you wouldn't be standing here now.
Barret:
Don't go thinkin' you so bad jes cuz you was in SOLDIER.
Cloud:
............
Barret:
Yeah, you're strong.
Probably all them guys in SOLDIER are.
But don't forget that your skinny ass's workin' for AVALANCHE now!
Don't get no ideas 'bout hangin' on to Shinra.
Cloud:
Stayin' with Shinra?
You asked me a question and I answered it... that's all.
Cloud:
I'm going upstairs. I want to talk about my money.
Marlene:
Papa, you're so great!
Barret:
Shucks!! ............money...
Try to leave the basement
Tifa:
Wait, Cloud!
Barret:
Tifa! Let him go!
Looks like he still misses the Shinra!
Cloud:
Shut up!
I don't care about either Shinra or SOLDIER!
But don't get me wrong!
I don't care about AVALANCHE or the Planet for that matter!
Jessie:
Money...
Oh my. It must have been for a lot of it.
Sure! Well, what the hell? It's a verbal agreement. Now let me figure this out.
Oh stop it, Cloud! Did you hear me?
Tifa:
Straighten things up with everyone for me.
Wedge:
.......Cloud.
You say you don't care, but you came to talk to me.
Cloud... You just want friends.
Isn't that right?
Blow off
Yeah, well. You look kind of lonely to me.
If you ever got anything you want to get off your chest, you can always talk to me.
I really don't care
You're terrible. Real cold blooded.
Ride pinball machine up, try to leave
*** MDS7PB_1 ***
Tifa:
Will you please come back? Ah, wait. Please wait.
The president of Shinra is going to read a statement.
President Shinra:
The terrorist group called AVALANCHE >has claimed responsibility for today's bombing >of the No.1 Mako Reactor.
It is also predicted >that they will continue with similar terrorist >activities in the future.
But I want the citizens of Midgar to be assured.
Shinra, Inc. has mobilized SOLDIER to protect >you from any violence and thereby......
Tifa:
The next time we'll be up against...SOLDIER.
Cloud, then you'll help us?
A promise is a promise
I hate Barret.
But I still hate Barret
You came to tell me that?
Cloud, then you'll help us?
A promise is a promise
I hate Barret.
But I still hate Barret
He's not a bad person.
Cloud, then you'll help us?
A promise is a promise
I hate Barret.
But I still hate Barret
Don't worry. >I'll talk to him.
Come on. Let's go below!
Jessie:
Cloud...... It's painful.
Why is that?
Biggs:
You know, Cloud. Barret says those things, but......
We're really unstable right now. If SOLDIER were to show up, they'd whup us.
Wedge:
Cloud, ya gotta help us. I'm really scared.
Tifa:
Please Cloud...
Tifa:
Listen, Cloud. I'm asking you. Please join us.
Cloud:
Sorry Tifa...
Tifa:
The Planet is dying. Slowly but surely it's dying.
Someone has to do something.
Cloud:
So let Barret and his buddies do something about it.
It's got nothin' to do with me.
Barret:
You damn right we'll do something about it. N' you stay outta this Tifa!
Tifa:
Cloud... I can't believe this is goodbye.
Tifa:
So! You're really leaving!?
Tifa:
You're just going to walk right out ignoring your childhood friend!?
Cloud:
What......?
How can you say that!
Choose this to date Tifa
......Sorry
Choose this to date Barret/Aeris/Yuffie
Tifa:
......You forgot the promise, too.
Cloud:
Promise?
Tifa:
So you DID forget.
Tifa:
Remember...... Cloud. It was seven years ago...
*** NIVL_E1 ***
Tifa:
Look, the well.
Do you remember?
Cloud:
Yeah... back then.
Cloud:
I thought you would never come, and I was getting a little cold.
Tifa:
Sorry I'm late.
Tifa:
You said you wanted to talk to me about something?
Cloud:
Come this spring... I'm leaving this town for Midgar.
Tifa:
...All boys are leaving our town.
Cloud:
But I'm different from all of them. I'm not just going to find a job.
Cloud:
I want to join SOLDIER.
Cloud:
I'm going to be the best there is, just like Sephiroth!
Tifa:
Sephiroth... The Great Sephiroth.
Cloud:
I thought about Sephiroth all the time. Even in my sleep. My mom just gave up on me.
Tifa:
I had no idea you were thinking that way...
Tifa:
But, what about our promise?
Tifa:
Isn't it hard to join SOLDIER?
Cloud:
...I probably won't be able to come back to this town for a while.
Cloud:
...huh?
Tifa:
Will you be in the newspapers if you do well?
Cloud:
I'll try.
Tifa:
Hey, why don't we make a promise?
Tifa:
Umm, if you get really famous and I'm ever in a bind......
You come save me, all right?
Cloud:
What?
Tifa:
Whenever I'm in trouble, my hero will come and rescue me.
I want to at least experience that once.
Cloud:
What?
Tifa:
Come on--! Promise me----!
Cloud:
All right...... I promise.
*** MDS7PB_1: 7th Heaven ***
Tifa:
You remember now, don't you... our promise?
Cloud:
I'm not a hero and I'm not famous. I can't keep...... the promise.
Tifa:
But you got your childhood dream, didn't you? You joined SOLDIER.
Tifa:
So come on! You've got to keep your promise......
Barret:
Wait a sec big-time SOLDIER!
Barret:
A promise is a promise! Here!!
Get Barret's stash, 1500 gil
Barret:
There's your money. Now get the hell out!!
Cloud:
This is my pay? Don't make me laugh.
Tifa:
What? Then you'll...!!
Cloud:
You got the next mission lined up? I'll do it for 3000.
Barret:
What......!?
Tifa:
It's ok, it's ok.
Tifa:

Barret:
Uh...... ugh...... (That money's for Marlene's schoolin'......)
Barret:

Tifa:
Come on. Let's go below!
Fully restores everyone
*** MDS7PB_1: 7th Heaven ***
Tifa:
Good Morning! Cloud!
Did you sleep well?
Barret's snoring kept me up......
Choose this to date Barret/Aeris/Yuffie
Tifa:
psstpsst...
(keep it down, they'll hear you. Barret's always edgy before an operation.)
Next to you, who wouldn't?
Choose this to date Tifa
Tifa:
I don't know what you mean.
Tifa:
I'm going this time.
Talk to Barret
Barret:
Our target's the Sector 5 Reactor. Head for the station first.
I'll fill you in on the train.
Barret:
Yo! Cloud!
Before the next mission, I got somethin' I wanna ask you!
I, uh,...... I don't really know how to use Materia!
I'll give you that Materia you found. Just teach me how to use it!
Cloud:
...sigh...
Ok, I'll explain it
Sure, I'll explain how Materia works.
First, access the menu.
You know the basic functions.
The triangle button brings up the menu.
Directional buttons move the cursor,
like this.
Select each menu by using the OK button.
If you want to leave the menu,
just push the CANCEL button.
See? Let's go ahead.
Now you're in this menu.
Select [Materia] sub menu.
Select who you want to use it.
Now look at my weapon here.
Each weapon and armor has slots in it.
Choose which slot you want to put Materia in.
Now select the Materia you want to use.
This is curative Materia.
If you want to know what its effect is,
line the cursor up with [Check],
and push the OK button.
It's just like selecting battle commands.
Just line the cursor up to [Magic],
you can see that the available magic has increased.
Now you can use new magic [Cure].
And that's all there is to equipping Materia.
See? It wasn't that tough!
When you want to remove any Materia,
it's as easy as pointing to the materia slot,
and pushing the triangle button.
There's just one thing you have to be careful of.
Whenever you equip Materia,
your situation changes.
Parts of you may become stronger...
while others get weaker.
Normally, when you equip [Magic] Materia,
your magic power will get stronger.
But your physical strength weakens.
So, Materia's kind of a double-edged sword.
On the left side of the screen,
you can see the Materia's effect on you.
It's wise not to overuse Magic Materia.
But try out various things.
Push the CANCEL button to exit the sub menu.
Ok, that's about it.
I'll give you some advanced tips later.
Barret:
Shi......! What's this 'It wasn't that tough!' crap!
I'm clueless......
Well, you handle the Materia then!
You wouldn't understand
Barret:
So this is what makes them guys in SOLDIER so great, huh!?
Ok. I'll ask Jessie again later. But you're in charge of the Materia!
[Materia System] Access the menu and select [Materia] to equip Materia.
Tifa:
I'm going this time.
Tifa:
Cloud! I got a message from the Weapon Shop man upstairs.
He has something he wants to give you. Don't forget!
Tifa:
Marlene, you watch the store while we're gone!
Marlene:
All right!! Good Luck.
Marlene:
Take care!
What's goin' on...? >It's really shakin' a lot......
