President Shinra:
How are the preparations going?
Heidegger:
Ha, ha, ha!! Smoothly, very smoothly! I assigned the Turks to this.
Reeve:
President!! Are we really going to do this? Simply destroy a group with only a few members...
President Shinra:
What's the problem, Reeve? You want out?
Reeve:
...No.
But, as head of the Urban Development Department, I have been involved in the building and running of Midgar. That's why...
Heidegger:
Reeve, you should flush those personal problems in the morning!
Reeve:
The Mayor's against this anyway...
Heidegger:
Mayor?
He just sits in this building all day feeding his face! You still call that a Mayor?
Heidegger:
Now if you'll excuse me sir!
President Shinra:
You're tired. Why don't you take a couple of days off and go somewhere.
President Shinra:
We'll destroy Sector 7 and report that AVALANCHE did it. Then we'll send in the rescue operation care of Shinra, Inc.... Heh, heh, heh... this is perfect.

...It's not a normal time bomb.
Tseng:
That's right. You'll have a hard time disarming that one.
It'll blow the second some stupid jerk touches it.
Tifa:
Please, stop it!
Tseng:
Ha ha ha......
Only a Shinra Executive can set up or disarm the Emergency Plate Release System.
Barret:
Shut yer hole!
Tseng:
I wouldn't try that...... You just might make me injure our special guest.
Tifa:
Aeris!!
Tseng:
Oh, you know each other?
Tseng:
How nice you could see each other one last time. You should thank me.
Cloud:
What are you gonna do with Aeris!?
Tseng:
I haven't decided.
Our orders were to find and catch the last remaining Ancient.
Tseng:
It's taken us a long time, but now I can finally report this to the President.
Aeris:
Tifa, don't worry! She's all right!
Tifa:
Aeris!
Aeris:
Hurry and get out!

All three of them were in the pillar.
Barret:
Think I don't know that?
Barret:
But... we, all of us fought together.
Barret:
I don't wanna think of them as dead!
Tifa:
...and the other people in Sector 7.
Barret:
This is all screwed up!
They destroyed an entire village just to get to us! They killed so many people...
Tifa:
...are you saying it's our fault? Because AVALANCHE was here? Innocent people lost their lives because of us?
Barret:
No, Tifa!
That ain't it! Hell no!!
It ain't us! It's the damn Shinra! It's never been nobody but the Shinra!
Barret:
They're evil and destroyin' our planet just to...
build their power and line their own damn pockets with gold!
If we don't get rid of them, they're gonna kill this planet!
Barret:
Our fight ain't never gonna be over until we get rid of them!!

Elmyra:
Cloud...... wasn't it?
Elmyra:
It's about Aeris, isn't it?
Cloud:
...Sorry. The Shinra have her.
Elmyra:
I know. They took her from here.
Cloud:
They were here?
Elmyra:
That's what Aeris wanted...
Cloud:
Why is Shinra after Aeris?
Elmyra:
Aeris is an Ancient. The sole survivor.
Barret:
...What did you say? But, aren't you her mother?
Elmyra:
...Not her real mother. Oh... it must have been 15 years ago...
Elmyra:
...during the war. My husband was sent to the front. Some far away place called Wutai.
One day, I went to the station because I got a letter saying he was coming home on leave.
*** MDS7ST3: Sector 7 Station ***
My husband never came back.
I wonder if something happened to him?
No, I'm sure his leave was just canceled.
I went to the station everyday.
Then, one day.........
*** MDS7ST32 ***
You used to see this sort of thing
a lot during the war.
Her last words were,
"Please take Aeris
somewhere safe."
My husband never came back.
I had no child. I was probably lonely.
So I decided to take her home with me.
*** EALIN_12 ***
Aeris and I became close very quickly. That child loved to talk. She used to talk to me about everything.
She told me she escaped from some kind of research laboratory somewhere. And that her mother had already returned to the planet, so she wasn't lonely... and many other things.
Barret:
Returned to the planet?
Elmyra:
I didn't know what she meant. I asked if she meant a star in the sky,
But she said it was this planet... She was a mysterious child in many ways.
Aeris:
Mom.
Aeris:
Please don't cry.
Elmyra:
Aeris just blurted that out all of a sudden. When I asked her if something happened...
Aeris:
Someone dear to you has just died.
His spirit was coming to see you, but he already returned to the planet.
Elmyra:
At that time I didn't believe her.
Elmyra:
But...
Elmyra:
Several days later... We received a notice saying my husband died...
Elmyra:
...and that's how it was.
A lot had happened, but we were happy. Until one day...
Tseng:
We want you to return Aeris to us. We've been searching for her for a long time.
Aeris:
No! Never!
Tseng:
Aeris, you're a very special child. You are of special blood.
Your real mother was an 'Ancient'.
Elmyra:
Of course I heard it. That she was an 'Ancient'.
Tseng:
The Ancients will lead us to a land of supreme happiness.
Aeris will be able to bring happiness to all those in the slums.
That is why Shinra would like Aeris's cooperation......
Aeris:
He's wrong! I'm not an Ancient! I'm not!
Tseng:
But Aeris, surely you hear voices sometimes when you're all alone?
Aeris:
No, I don't!
Elmyra:
But I knew. I knew about her mysterious powers...
She tried so hard to hide it, so I acted as though I never noticed.
*** EALIN_1: Aeris's house ***
Cloud:
It's amazing how she's avoided the Shinra for all these years...
Elmyra:
The Shinra needed her, So I guess they wouldn't harm her.
Tifa:
But why now......
Elmyra:
She brought a little girl here with her.
On the way here, Tseng found them. She probably couldn't get away fast enough.
She decided to go to the Shinra in exchange for the little girl's safety.
Cloud:
Must be Marlene.
Barret:
Marlene!! Aeris was caught because of Marlene!?
Barret:
I'm sorry. Marlene's my daughter. I'm ...really... sorry...
Elmyra:
You're her father!? How in the world could you ever leave a child alone like that!?
Barret:
...please don't start with that. I think about it all the time. What would happen to Marlene, if I...
Barret:
But you gotta understand somethin'... ...I don't got an answer. I wanna be with Marlene... But I gotta fight.
Barret:
'Cause if I don't... the planet's gonna die.
Barret:
So I'm gonna keep fightin'!
Barret:
But, I'm worried 'bout Marlene. I really just wanna be with her... always.
Barret:
See? I'm goin' in circles, now.
Elmyra:
...I think I understand what you're saying... She's upstairs asleep, Why don't you go and see her.
Tifa:
It's my fault... I was the one who got Aeris involved in this.
Elmyra:
Don't say that. Aeris doesn't think that.
Tifa:
I feel so depressed.
Elmyra:
...sigh...
Go see Barret upstairs

You gonna go help Aeris, right? She's done so much for me...
Barret:
If it's the Shinra you're dealin' with, I can't just sit here! I'm comin', too!
Marlene:
Guess what? Guess what? Aeris was asking me lots of questions.
Like what kind of person Cloud is. I bet she likes you, Cloud!
I don't know

Marlene:
Stupid!
Let's hope so

Tifa:
If I stayed here... I'll go crazy.
Barret:
Sorry, but can you take care of Marlene a bit longer?
Elmyra:
Yes, I don't mind.

Right, right, you're right. The owner of the Weapons Shop scavenged all the stuff that came falling down.
Oh is that why? He seems pretty suspicious these days.
Oh, you mean he went out to the Plate cross section next to the Don's Mansion, right?

You'll find out when you get there. How 'bout 100 Gil for each?

There IS a way! Look! What's that look like?

Just a normal wire.

Oh yeah? Well to me it looks like a golden shiny wire of hope.
You're right. This is the only way to save Aeris...

Ok, that was a bad analogy, but, Barret, I understand how you feel.

So there are times when even you fight for other people. I am impressed.
Cloud:
Who cares if you're impressed...?
Barret:
Y'know, I ain't so good at sayin' this,but... Sorry... for lotsa things.
Barret:
Wh, what the!?
Tifa:
Look!
Barret:
DA-MN...!
Barret:
I don't care where, Cloud! Just stop it!
Tifa:
What's going on!?
Push button a few times, fight a few battles
If you meet Shinra employee
Oh man!!
No, uh, that's all right. My mistake. I'm, uh, not getting on.
Oh man!!
Meeting employee more than once
Oh man!!
You, you're still driving...? Uh, I'll pass again.
Oh man!!
Take stairs (middle of left wall) down to 33F for an Elixir
Sneaking in
*** BLINST_1: Shinra Bldg. Stairs ***
Barret:
Yo... You really gonna take these stairs all the way up?
Tifa:
Well we've got to get to Aeris to help her somehow.
Barret:
Talk about out of the way...
Tifa:
I don't have time to argue with you! I'm going!
Barret:
Y, yo Tifa! Don't go off alone!
Try to go back out
Tifa:
Wait a minute, Cloud!
Go up to 6th floor
*** BLINST_2: Shinra Bldg. Stairs ***
Barret:
Don't know... Why... the hell... We gotta... climb...
Cloud:
...because we don't want to start a commotion until we've saved Aeris.
Cloud:
I doubt that's possible though...
Barret:
...heh heh heh.
Cloud:
Knock it off. You're giving me the creeps.
13th floor
Barret:
So even you will fight for someone else. I had you figured wrong I guess.
Cloud:
Who cares what you figured!
Barret:
I'm just sayin' mebbe I was wrong...
Tifa:
heh heh heh......
Cloud:
What's that supposed to mean, Tifa?
20th floor
Barret:
...how much farther do these stairs go on?
Tifa:
Why don't you ask them?
Barret:
It's not one of them endless stairways or somethin', d'ya think?
Tifa:
Of course not!!
Barret:
Right... couldn't be that...
27th floor
Barret:
Are we there yet?
Tifa:
Not yet.
Barret:
...there yet?
Tifa:
I said not yet!
Barret:
Yo...
Tifa:
Look, don't even ask! We're way way way way far away from being there, ok!?
Elixir: on 33F
34th floor
Barret:
Damn, man! I've had it! I'm going back!
Tifa:
And take just as long going down as you did coming up?
Barret:
............
40th floor
Tifa:
C'mon, Barret. Pull it together!
Barret:
Yeah, well all I know is I'm just flesh 'n' blood... 'cept for this arm of mine.
Don't treat me like I'm some ex-member of SOLDIER or somethin'......
Tifa:
What about me!? I'm human too! Oh, do what you want, I'm going on!
Tifa:
......?
Tifa:
Yaah! Barret! You go first!
Barret:
What're ya ignorant? I didn't mean that...
Tifa:
All right, all right!
Tifa:
Cloud, you go on ahead too!!
41st floor
Barret:
Yo... What floor is this?
Tifa:
...I gave up counting.
Barret:
Why they gotta build these buildings so damn tall?
Barret:
That Shinra... They're just no damn good.
Tifa:
.........
48th floor
Barret:
huff... Man, I'm beat...
Barret:
Marlene, Daddy wanted to see your face one more time...
Tifa:
Would you stop acting like a retard and climb!?
Tifa:
It's just a bit more!
Tifa:
...maybe.
59th floor, step into the light
*** BLINST_3: Shinra Bldg. Stairs ***
Barret:
F... finally... M... made it...
N... never wanna see... no more stairs the rest of my life...
Tifa:
huff... puff... this really takes it out of you...
But this is it. We'd better get ready...!
Go down to 2F accessory shop now if you want to see FMV of Shinra cars. We'll tour the lower floors later.
*** BLIN59: Shinra Bldg. 59f. ***
Try to go downstairs
Barret:
Hey Cloud!
You come all this way, you thinkin' of goin' back down to the 1st floor?
Yeah
Barret:
We ain't got no time for that! Stop messin' around, boy!
No......
Barret:
Yeah, that's right! Let's go on then!
Approach guards
Destroy the intruders!
Battle: Mighty Grunt x3
Cloud:
What's this?
Get Keycard 60
Take guarded elevator to 60F, talk to party members
*** ELEOUT: Outside Elevator ***
Tifa:
I hope Aeris is all right.
Barret:
This is the real thing. Don't let your guard down.
You don't have a Card Key
Use the elevator to go up
*** BLIN60_1: Shinra Bldg. 60f. ***
Guard on the left:
What're you doing here!? No unauthorized people are allowed here!!
Guard on the right:
People like you don't belong here! Go on, get out!
Go into top left room
Barret:
Lookit that, all them guards is runnin' around.
Cloud, you go on ahead and signal us when it's safe to come.
Barret:
When those guards turn around, MOVE!
Tifa:
Stay in the shadows!
Get to the middle successfully
Wait for the soldiers to let down their guard, then push the [O] button to signal the others!
Getting caught
Hey there! What do you think you're doing there!?
Battle: Mighty Grunt x2 (pincer)
Barret:
What the hell're ya doin'? Come on gotta do it again!
Go back to beginning
Getting caught too many times
Barret:
I shoulda known it'd turn out like this...
If I'd known it'd be like this in the first place...
Tifa:
Shhh! Now let's move on.
Guards disappear
Completing successfully
Barret:
Ok! We gonna rock!
Tifa:
Remember, we're here to save Aeris.
Barret:
Hell, I know that!
Take stairs up
*** BLIN61: Shinra Bldg. 61f. ***
People sitting:
I thought I heard a ruckus downstairs a minute ago. Do you know what that was all about?
No idea. But no need to worry because everything above the 60th floor is safe.
Guy with blue shirt:
This is the lounge floor. Above us are the special floors for the big wigs in the company.
It's tough working under someone. Tires you out.
Guy in gray suit:
What's keeping her? Did she forget her keycard?
Even employees can't walk around above the 60th floor without a keycard.
Woman near elevators:
I don't remember seeing your face before... You new here?
Say, you're cute. Let me teach you some... things.
Things?
Wipe that stupid look off your face. I was only going to teach you how to get to the next floor.
The higher ups in the company use the floors above the 60th floor. But you can't get there without a keycard.
Get a keycard and you can use the elevators freely.
...voila! You hear that sound and the door opens.
Just remember there are different types of cards. One keycard alone won't let you go everywhere.
For example,
'Keycard 60' only takes you to the 60th floor. 'Keycard 65' only takes you to the 65th floor.
It's a security system worthy of Shinra. After all, all the power in Midgar and the world, for that matter, is controlled by them.
Oh, I have to go. Gotta get back to work!
Um, I'm kinda in a hurry...
Oh? That's too bad...
Guy in gray suit, near elevators:
The hell are you? What're you doin' around here?
Where's Aeris?
Aeris? How did you know that name? You must be...!?
Aeris, you mean that kid. The receptionist. Yeah, I was startin' to worry 'bout her myself.
And so another rival appears on the scene, eh?
You mean, she's not? It's someone else?
......
Choose this to continue
Oh, I see. So you must be that whatcha call it...
Shinra, Inc. Repair Division!!
You know, it looks like this building is starting to fall apart.
This door was just pushed open. You ought to fix this right away.
Oh yeah, and take a look on the other floors too. I'll give you this.
Get Keycard 62
Guy:
This door is stuck wide open. Better fix this right away.
Go up stairs
