Depending on the other party member

Barret:

Red XIII:

This is Nibelheim? I heard it burnt down.

Yuffie:

I heard from someone that this town was gone!

Cait Sith:

The whole town was destroyed by Sephiroth. At least that's what I heard...

Cid:

Didn't you say that your hometown burned down?

Cloud:

...Yeah.

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

You trin' to fool us!?

Aeris:

Hey, what's going on?

Red XIII:

Cloud... Did you lie to us?

Yuffie:

What happened?

Cait Sith:

Cloud, did you make up your story just to get our support?

Cid:

Yo, Cloud. It's not nice to lie.

Cloud:

I'm not lying!

Cloud:

I remember...the intense heat of the flames...

Periodic Report to Professor Hojo 1 Clone Activity Report Unfortunately, no 'CLONES'have left this town this quarter. As previously reported, the 'CLONES 'seem to be sensing something. But all they say is, 'reunion' or 'Sephiroth' and show no other signs of activity.

2 Confidentiality Report A total of eight people have visited this town this quarter. Fortunately, none knew about the incident five years ago. Therefore, no one knows the town was restored exactly as it was five years ago. Our staff, disguised as townspeople have improved their acting skills, and we do not report any problems at this time. > > That is all.

Piano in Tifa's room, if you played it during flashback scene in Kalm

Cloud:

But...I definitely remember playing the piano then. But why didn't it get burnt down?

Play Do Re Mi Ti La Do Re Mi So Fa Do Re Do on the piano. If you haven't done this in the Kalm flashback, you'll need to play it twice here

I wonder what... this is...

Shera:

President Rufus is scheduled to come here. >The Captain's been so restless all morning.

Cloud:

Rufus!!?

Take time to do a little shopping. Buy 2 of Aeris's weapon so that you can let her leave with one of them at Temple of the Ancients. You can go all the way back to Fort Condor for another battle... sure is a long way!

Climb up the rocket, talk to Cid

*** RCKTIN2: Ship Hallway ***

What're you guys doin' here?

Cloud:

We heard the Captain was here.

Captain? >I'm the Captain!

Name Cid

Cid:

The name's Cid. >Everyone calls me 'Captain', though.

Cid:

What d'ya want?

Tell me about this rocket

You have to choose this to continue with the story

Cid:

Wow! >Not bad for a kid.

Cid:

Alright then, >I'll explain it to you.

Cid:

You know Shinra developed >a lot of technological gadgets >during the meaningless war, right?

Now it's a Mako company, >but in the old days it >was a weapons manufacturer.

Cid:

Well, >they came up with a Rocket Engine.

Cid:

There was so much excitement about >the thought of going into outer space. >Our dreams got bigger and bigger.

Cid:

They put a major budget into it >and made prototype after prototype! >Finally, they completed Shinra No. 26.

They chose the best pilot in Shinra-- >no, in the world--me. >I mean, come on.

Cid:

And finally we get to the day of the launch. >Everything was goin' well...

Cid:

But, because of that dumb-ass Shera, >the launch got messed up. >That's why they became so anal!

Cid:

And so, Shinra nixed >their outer space exploration plans.

After they told me >how the future was Space Exploration >and got my damn hopes up...DAMN THEM!

Cid:

Then, it was all over once they >found out Mako energy was profitable. >They didn't even so much as >look at space exploration.

Cid:

Money, moola, dinero! >My dream was just a financial >number for them!

Cid:

Look at this rusted Rocket. >I was supposed to be the first man >in space with this.

Cid:

Everyday, it tilts a little bit more.

At this rate, >I don't know which will come first, >this thing falling down or >me gettin' outta here.

Cid:

My last hope is >to talk to the President......

Cid:

Ummm... >Just look around...

Is Rufus coming?

Cid:

Yeah! It must be news about >restarting the Space Program.

A young President, >that's what we needed! >He still has dreams, too!

Can we borrow the "Tiny Bronco"?

Cid:

You out of your *&$^$# mind!? >That's my most cherished possession. >I can't let you take it.

Go back to the inn, talk to bartender

*** RKTINN1: Shanghai Inn ***

I think it's a bit too harsh.

Dunno. >I'm history with the Shinra >and I've given up on the town.

Cloud:

How 'bout your wife? How 'bout Shera?

Cid:

Wife? Don't make me laugh! >Just thinkin' 'bout marryin' >her gives me the chills.

Cid:

What're you guys gonna do?

Cloud:

We're going after a man named Sephiroth. >We'll have to get Rufus >of the Shinra someday too.

Cid:

I don't know about any of that, but...

Cid:

What the hell!? >Sign me up!

Cloud:

How 'bout it, everyone?

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

I don't care.

Tifa:

Of course, no problem!

Aeris:

I'm all for it.

Red XIII:

I don't really care.

Yuffie:

Whatever!

Cait Sith:

I don't mind.

Vincent:

...Do whatever you like.

Cid:

Glad to be aboard, numbskulls!

Cloud:

Numskulls...?

Cid:

Yeah. Anyone stupid enough to go up against >Shinra nowadays, has GOTTA be a numskull! >I like it!

Cid:

So, where we headed?

Rufus was goin' after Sephiroth towards >the Temple of the Ancients.

Cloud:

Really!?...Where is it? >That Temple of the Ancients?

Cid:

Dunno. That numskull kid was tellin' me he was headin 'The wrong direction'... >so maybe it's off this way?

Cloud:

Let's just head for land and >get some information. >Temple of the Ancients... >that name bothers me.

If Yuffie is in the party

Yuffie:

.........Hm. >How 'bout goin' west?

No, no reason. >NO reason at all!

*** World Map ***

How to fly the Tiny Bronco

Press the [OK] button to get on.

Press the [CANCEL] button to get off.

Tiny Bronco can cross shallow waters and rivers.

Players can get on and off it on the beach.

Many sidequests are now available on the world map. You can go to Wutai now, but only if you really want to date Yuffie. Get Mythril from sleeping man and trade it to the blacksmith near Gongaga. Another Fort Condor battle is available. Do some training with Cloud if you want to win all 8 battles at Battle Square, and Aeris if you actually want to teach her Great Gospel. You can definitely learn Beta from Midgar Zolom now.

Go back to Rocket Town

Guy:

Oh, it's you? >I heard you and the Captain >really made a BANG!

Another guy:

I heard Tiny Bronco broke...

That sucks. >I was secretly eyeing that thing. >Broke, huh? What a drag.

Old man:

Because those Shinra creeps locked us >up in our houses, we couldn't >even watch the rocket lift off.

I never thought that my only hobby >would be destroyed by that >arrogant young Rufus...!

Guy near entrance:

What do you want?

Have you seen Sephiroth?

Oh, the man in a Black Cape. >He was looking for the Temple of the Ancients.

The Temple of the Ancients?

It's way down south. >It's right on the other side >between this town and the inland sea.

It's the pyramid that rises within the forest.

How do you get in?

You'll need a Keystone.

What's a Keystone?

Just like it sounds. >A rock that's a key. >I heard that some rich guy has it.

Oh, yeah, I know

That's enough

Thanks

What are you doing?

We're excavating. >It's like the land's telling >a history of the planet.

But if it's the "Keystone" you're looking for, >you're too late. >Don't have it.

Cloud:

Keystone?

What? You didn't come here for >that?

The "Keystone" is the key that unlocks >the gate to a very old temple somewhere.

You're not going to >believe your ears,

But I heard it was >the Temple of the Ancients!!

Cloud:

The Temple of the Ancients...

Kya, hah hah hah...

Don't take it seriously. >It's just a legend!

Talk to the guy

Huh? What?

Where is this "Keystone"?

I sold it already. >Yeah well, to tell the truth, >I didn't really want to sell it but...

That guy had a way about him that made you feel >like it may not be a good idea >NOT to sell it to him...

Cloud:

Who did you sell it to?

The manager of the Gold Saucer... >think his name was "Dio". >Said he was going to put it in his museum, >then he took off out of here.

Where is the Temple?

Come on...it's only a legend. >But if it were true, that sure would >be something, huh?

Now that you mention it, >I have heard of something called >Ultimate Destruction Magic

was supposed to be hidden somewhere >in the Temple of the Ancients.

Cloud:

Ultimate Destruction Magic...?

Come on! >I told you not to take it seriously!

Let's change the subject

All the weapons you see here >I made myself. >But lately I haven't been able >to get materials...

If you are carrying Mythril

Hey you wouldn't happen to have any >Mythril on you, would you? >I'll trade you something good >if you could spare some.

Give him some

Hey thanks! >All right you can help yourself >to either a big or small box.

Forget it

Never mind
