The Original Crisis

Camera's ready!

Then, Ifalna, >please tell us about the Cetra.

2000 years ago, our ancestors, >the Cetra, heard the cries of >the Planet.

The first ones to discover >the Planet's wound were the Cetra >at the Knowlespole.

Tell us Ifalna... >Where is the land called 'Knowlespole'?

Knowlespole refers to this area. >The Cetra then began a Planet-reading.

Ifalna, >what exactly does Planet-reading entail?

...I can't explain it very well, but >it's like having a conversation >with the Planet...

It said something fell from the sky >making a large wound.

Thousands of Cetra pulled together, >trying to heal the Planet...

But, due to the severity of the wound, >it was only able to heal itself, >over many years.

Do the Ancients, rather, the Cetra, >have special powers to heal the Planet?

No, it's not that kind of power. >The life force of all living things >on this Planet becomes the energy.

The Cetra tried desperately to >cultivate the land so as not to >diminish the needed energy...

Hmm, even here so close to >the North Cave, >the snow never melts.

Is that because >the planet's energy is >gathered here to heal its injury?

Yes, the energy that was needed to >heal the Planet withered away >the land...then the Planet...

The Planet tried to persuade the Cetra >to leave the Knowlespole, but...

Ifalna... >Let's take a break.

I'm all right... >When the Cetra...were preparing to part >with the land they loved...

That's when it appeared!

It looked like...our...our dead mothers >...and our dead brothers. >Showing us spectres of their past.

Who is the person that appeared >at the North Cave? >I have't any idea.

That's when the one who injured the Planet... >or the 'crisis from the sky', >as we call him, came.

He first approached as a friend, >deceived them, and finally...... >gave them the virus.

The Cetra were attacked >by the virus and went mad... >transforming into monsters.

Then, just as he had >at the Knowlespole.

He approached other Cetra clans...... >infecting them with... the virus...

You don't look well... >Let's call it a day.

What is "Weapon?"

Ifalna, >can you comment >on the thing called 'Weapon'?

Yes, Professor.

The one the Professor mistook for >a Cetra... was named Jenova. >That is the 'crisis from the sky'.

The Planet knew it had to destroy >the 'crisis from the sky'...

You see, as long as Jenova exists, >the Planet will never >be able to fully heal itself.

Back then, Weapon was a weapon >the Planet produced of it's own will?

Yes, but... >There is no record >of Weapon ever being used.

A small number of the surviving Cetra >defeated Jenova, and confined it.

The Planet produced Weapon... >But it was no longer >necessary to use it.

So, Weapon no longer exists >on this Planet?

Weapon cannot vanish. >...it remains asleep >somewhere on the Planet.

Even though Jenova is confined, >it could come back to life >at some time...

The Planet has not >fully healed itself yet. >It is still, watching Jenova.

Where is Weapon?

I don't know...... >I can't hear >the voice of the Planet well...

Times...have changed. >The Planet...is probably >watching this situation closely.

...Thank you, Ifalna, >that will be all for today...

Daughter's Record: 10th Day after birth

What are you doing, Profes...... >I mean, honey?

Oh, I'm thinking of taping it on video. >But, the video's not working right...

What are you going to tape? >Is there still >something I haven't mentioned?

No, that's not it. >I'm going to record my beautiful daughter.

And when she's sleeping, her face >...looks like an angel.

First, we have to figure out her name. >We can take the video later!

I've already decided! >If it's a girl, then it'll be Aeris. >That's that!

You are SO selfish! >But Aeris is a good name!

Hee hee...it's a good name, >considering it came out >of that forgetful head of yours!

Right!? >Oh, the video tape......

Daughter's Record: 20th Day after birth

Video again? >You just got through taping!

......... >Please don't say it that way.

It's our lovely daughter, >both yours...and mine!

Don't you want to capture >her childhood on videotape?

If you keep doting on her like that, >she won't grow up to be strong...

Aeris is different >from the other children. >I wonder what dangers await her...?

Never say that! >I will protect you >and Aeris no matter what!!

You and Aeris are >my only treasures. >I'll never let you go!!

I feel so much better now, >darling.

If I hadn't met you, >I......

Who could that--I was >just about to...

Damn!!

How dare they intrude on >our 'private time' together!

I'll send them away.

Yes, at once!!

Who the devil?

It, it's them!!

Heh, heh, heh...... >I've been searching for you, Ifalna... >or should I say, Cetra!

Long time no see, >Professor Gast!

Hojo... >How did you know?

Believe me, I had to turn over >a stone or two to find you.

Two years I waited... >That's how much I wanted >this new sample......Ha, ha, ha.

...New sample? >You don't mean Aeris!?

Hmm, Aeris? >What a nice name......Ha, ha, ha.

That's it! >I'm severing all ties >with the Shinra.

Hojo, please leave.

Ifalna!

Please, Aeris has nothing >to do with it! >All you want is me, right?

I'll need all of you >for my experiment.

You understand don't you, Professor Gast? >We can change the future of the Planet!

Don't worry, Ifalna. >I'll take care of this!

Please don't put up a fight. >I don't want any harm to come >to my precious sample.

Mmm? What a funny looking camera. >Guard! Destroy it!

Be careful with her!! >Ha, ha, ha ......

Wh...what are you doing, Professor!?

Ifalna! >Take Aeris and run!!

Eyaaaaaah... >Darling......!!

Oh, and uh... >don't forget the child!

Hmm, a video? >The Ancients...Weapon!?

Heh, heh, heh...a mountain of treasure! >Thank you Professor...Ha, ha, ha

Guy at bar:

If you go further North, >I heard there's a Huge Crater.

Her name was Ifalna, and >she knew about a lot of things...

Whadaya mean?

I heard she was abducted by the Shinra and >was taken somewhere.

Shinra and the Ancients... >I smell somethin' fishy...

Left guy with red hair:

I heard some guy went to >the Great Glacier in the North.

What an idiot. >Is he thinkin' 'bout going to >that hot spring?

Middle guy:

He's probably gonna get lost in >the glacier and freeze to death.

No matter how well equipped he is, >out there in that cold on the glacier, >I give him two days at the most.

Right guy:

You thinkin' of going North?

That's my plan

Check the map on the wall

Look at the Map

If you already got the map

What nerve! >You already tore down the map.

Woman on chair:

My husband left 20 years ago >and still hasn't come back.

Soldiers again:

Don't be angry. >I'm just doing my job.

Do some shopping, go out the back of town

Be careful!

Great Glacier

There will be two forks in the snowboard course. The location where you land will depend on which path you take:

Left both times (ends with lots of snowmen and very tight curves): forest

Left right (ends with cave with falling icicles): gate

Right then left (ends with cavern with crystal cactus): single tree

Right both times (ends with walkin moogles and igloos): outside Frostbite cave

I suggest taking left both times to land in the forest. The quick walkthrough will start from there.

Snowboard minigame

I can't be doin' this! >Damn!

Yuffie:

God! >I can't stand it!

Cait Sith:

A little off.

Vincent:

Yeah, I'm all right.

Cloud:

So where did we land?

If you landed in the forest

Cloud:

Seems like maybe >we didn't even jump at all...

If you landed at the main entrance

Cloud:

Seems like it didn't end up >being such a big jump...

If you landed at the single tree

We've jumped pretty far...

If you landed outside Frostbite cave

Cloud:

Looks like we've jumped pretty far...

First party member to appear in list below

Tifa:

Oh yeah, we got the map, right? >Let's look at the map by pressing >the [Square] button.

Aeris:

Hey. >Let's take a look at the map, >press the [Square] button.

Yuffie:

At times like these, we need the map! >Let's open it with the [Square] button.

Cait Sith:

Then, let's look at the map. >Just open it with the [Square] button.

Vincent:

We should check it on the map. >Press the [Square] button.

Barret:

Hey, what's that!? >They just gave you something, right? >Let's use the [Square] button to find out.

Cid:

Quick! The map, the map! >Look at it with the [Square] button!

Cloud:

It sure is cold. >We'll freeze >if we stay here any longer.

That's the way it goes...

Cloud:

Face the direction you want to jump in then press the [O] button.

Get across the floating ice. Never jump onto a piece whose neighbors are all raised.

Safety Bit: inside cave

I don't feel like it

Take lower right exit from iceberg to reach Frostbite Cave, go inside and make your way to the second screen

Woman:

And don't come back again.

Woman:

Please stop it.

Woman:

Please, that is enough.

If you touched the spring

If you haven't battled her yet

Woman:

Yeeew... >You got a lot of nerve trying to >touch me with the same dirty hands >that touched that filthy hot spring!

I'll never forgive you.

If you battled her but lost

Huh, still don't get it, huh?

Battle: Snow

If you win the battle

Why this...?

Alexander materia: on the ground

If you lose the battle

Hah, Just remember your place!

Now, this is a surprise!!

How many years has it been >since I last saw anyone here...?

Oh, excuse me! My name is Holzoff. >I've lived here for 20 years now.

You mind listening to >the stories of a lonely climber?

If you passed out

You awake?

You collapsed at the Great Glacier. >It's a miracle you're all right.

My name is Holzoff. >I've been living here 20 years now.

Go through the door

** HOLU_1: Base of Gaea's Cliff ***

Holzoff:

You ever hear about those who >challenged the cliff?

Yeah

The first time my friend Yamski and I >tried to climb the cliff was 30 years ago.

No

There's an old legend that says something >fell from the sky here a long time ago.

That's what's supposed to have pushed >the land up and formed this cliff.

30 Years ago, Yamski and I took this cliff on >to see what was on the other side.

But, we weren't prepared for it. >We did expect the temperature to >be low but...

On that cliff, there's always a biting cold wind. >The cold air lowers your body temperature.

Yamski, was below me. >He cut his own rope...

...and I didn't even notice...

Ever since then, I've settled here... >continuing to challenge the cliff, >and provide warning >and shelter to my fellow climbers.

Don't over do it.

Go outside

Barret:

You know, >I've been thinkin'...?

What is it?

...Seein' a place like this, >makes you realize how awesome >nature is.

But, if anyone ever told me to live here, >I'd tell them to ...you know...

I tell you one thing though, >If I did have to live here >I'd change things around 'n' make it better.

I guess the total opposite of this >would be......Midgar.

When you think of it that way, >Shinra don't seem so bad...

Uuuuuurrrrrgh!!

What the hell am I sayin'!? >The Shinra, not bad!?

Save it for later

Cloud:

We'll secure the route. >You come up later.

Talk to party members to change party

Barret:

Y'know...standing here like this...

Kinda makes you feel like the >Planet's not on our side, don't it?

Of course we can't even compete. >I mean... >The Planet don't even notice us humans...

Tifa:

This blizzard's nothing! >I gotta say that or...brr...

Brrrr, I can't take this cold!!

This is secret info, but... >Rufus's going to arrive here, too.

*** TRNAD_4: Whirlwind Maze ***

This is the end...for all of you.

Cloud:

Sephiroth!!!

This is the end!

You're right. >This is the end of this body's usefulness.

Cloud:

He disappeared!?

Tifa:

He might still be nearby......

Our purpose is to deliver the Black >Materia to our master.

Cloud:

Our...?

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

He got away?

Red XIII:

I feel something...danger?

I was just getting into it!

Cloud:

The Jenova Reunion...

Tifa:

Not Sephiroth!? >You mean all this time >it wasn't Sephiroth we've been after?

Cloud:

I'll explain later. >Right now, the only thing I'm thinking >about is beating Sephiroth.

Tifa:

But Sephiroth is......

Cloud:

He's here. >The real Sephiroth is >just beyond here.

Cloud:

It's both incredibly wicked and cruel...

But it's releasing a powerfully strong will >from deep within this planet's wound.

Get Black Materia

Cloud:

...The Black Materia is >back in our hands.

Cloud:

Now all we have to do is defeat >Sephiroth and that'll be the end of it.

Tifa:

We'd better not >take the Black Materia any further. >Why don't you give it >to someone else to hold on to?

Only Barret and Red XIII will accept the Black Materia, and only if they are not already in the party

If they are in the party

Barret:

Sephiroth...... >What a damn crazy #*&^%.

Red XIII:

What's happening, Cloud? >That wasn't Sephiroth!

Yuffie:

What!? >You mean that wasn't Sephiroth? >All that time I was following this >...thing?

Cait Sith:

You serious!? >That's not Sephiroth!

Vincent:

You mean... >we weren't in pursuit of Sephiroth...?

Cid:

Hoo-boy...

Other members not in the party

Yuffie:

I don't want anything >to do with that Black Materia!

Cait Sith:

No, not the >Black Materia, please.

Vincent:

How about if you hold on >to the Black Materia?

Cloud: I don't think I can...

Cid:

Me and Black Materia just don't mix.

Barret, if he is not in the party

Give the Black Materia to Barret?

Yes

Barret:

Damn, man!...Pressure's on now.

Cloud:

Don't give it to ANYONE. >I'm counting on you.

No

Sephiroth...... >What a damn crazy #*&^%.

Give the Black Materia to Red XIII?

Red XIII:

You want me to take the Black Materia? >......all right, I understand.

Cloud:

Don't give it to ANYONE. >I'm counting on you.

No

Red XIII:

Cloud, be careful!

After giving Black Materia to someone

Yuffie:

Shouldn't we hurry? >The real Sephiroth is still close, right?

Cait Sith:

Something feels rea---lly weird here!

Vincent:

You never know when Sephiroth may show up... >so don't let your guard down.

Cid:

Let me catch some shut-eye.

Talk to Tifa

Tifa:

Let's find Sephiroth!!

Tifa:

What is this? What happened?

Cloud:

Calm down, Tifa.

Cloud:

Sephiroth is near. Anything could happen.

Tifa:

Nibelheim...

Depending on third party member

Barret:

Why Nibelheim!? Are you high on Mako or something?

Red XIII:

But, why!? A dream? An illusion?

Yuffie:

But why Nibelheim? This is freaky, REALLY freaky!

Cait Sith:

But Tifa! Isn't this an illusion?

Vincent:

...Why......is it an illusion?

Cid:

What the hell? Why Nibelheim!?

Cloud:

This is an illusion Sephiroth made up.

He's trying to confuse us.

It'll be all right. As long as we know it's an illusion, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Come on, let's keep going.

Tifa:

Yeah, you're right...

Tifa:

Look!!

Sephiroth:

All right, let's go.

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

That ain't Cloud... The hell is he?

Red XIII:

Cloud's not here... I wonder who......this is...?

Yuffie:

Huh---! Cloud's not here.

Cait Sith:

Cloud, something's strange here. Who is this guy?

Vincent:

...It's not Cloud. Who is this man?

Cid:

Cloud's not here......

Tifa:

Stop...Sephiroth.

Cloud:

This is so stupid...

Talk to the third party member

Barret:

How the hell're we gonna get outta here?

Red XIII:

Is this illusion going to continue forever? >How do we get out of it?

Yuffie:

I don't want to be in an illusion. >Let's get back to the real world!

Cait Sith:

Come on, we have to hurry back >to the real world!

Vincent:

Now,how can we get out of here...?

Cid:

Hey, Cloud. Let's get back to the real world, huh.

Talk to Tifa

Tifa:

Cloud... >It's just an illusion.

Don't worry about it...

*** NIVL_B1: Nibelheim ***

Cloud:

What's...next?

Tifa:

Stop it already!!

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

This is bad... >Just like Corel.

Red XIII:

This is terrible... >Did Sephiroth do this?

Yuffie:

Wow...... >I didn't know it was >THIS bad...

Cait Sith:

This is insane...

Vincent:

...All this... >while I was sleeping...

Cid:

This is terrible...

Cloud:

...This is what actually >happened five years ago.

Cloud:

But...

It's probably not me that's >going to come out of the Shinra mansion.

He's going to try and show us another >stupid illusion.

You can still open the menu here. Unequip party members except Tifa, Barret, and Cait Sith.

Cloud:

See...didn't I tell you?

Zangan:

Hey it's you! >You're still sane, right?

Zangan:

Then come over here and help me!

Tifa:

I don't want to...watch this. > Cloud...don't watch.

Zangan:

I'll check this house. >You check that one over there!

Cloud:

...What's wrong, Tifa? >I told you before, right?

As long as we know that it's just an >illusion, there's no need to be scared.

*** NIVL_B22: Nibelheim ***

Depending on the third party member

Barret:

Hey, you awright!?

Barret:

Damn! This was an illusion.

Red XIII:

You all right!!

Red XIII:

We were in an illusion...

Yuffie:

He...hey, you! >You alright!?

Yuffie:

Oh, a dream! >But it felt so real...

Cait Sith:

Everyone OK!?

Cait Sith:

Umm...this was a hallucination.

Vincent:

...You all right?

Vincent:

Hmm...it was an illusion.

Cid:

He...hey you! >You alright!?

Cid:

Damn! >This was all made up.

Cloud:

Sephiroth! I know you're listening! >I know what you want to say!

Cloud:

That I wasn't in Nibelheim five >years ago.

That's it, isn't it?

Sephiroth:

I see you finally understand.

Cloud:

What you are trying to say is >that you want to confuse me, right?

But...even making me see those >things won't affect me.

I remember it all. >The heat of the fire...the pain >in my body... and in my heart!

Sephiroth:

Oh, is that so?

You are just a puppet... >You have no heart...and cannot >feel any pain...

How can there be any meaning in the >memory of such a being?

What I have shown you is reality. >What you remember, >that is the illusion.
