Cloud tells that five years ago he and Sephiroth had been sent to Cloud's hometown to investigate the local mako reactor where Sephiroth had found Jenova, a creature Shinra took to be an Ancient, and who had been called Sephiroth's mother. Troubled by the discovery, Sephiroth had delved into his past and the Jenova Project —from which he was born—led by Professor Gast and the deranged Professor Hojo. His findings had driven him insane and, believing himself to be the last Ancient, Sephiroth had taken revenge on humanity by burning Nibelheim to the ground.

Cloud's mother and Tifa's father had perished during the incident, and a furious Cloud had set out to confront Sephiroth, but his recollection fails before he can reach the end of the story. After hearing of a man in a black cape the group follows the rumors to Junon where they are surprised to find Rufus Shinra holding his crowning ceremony. The party disguises as crew members and stows away on the cargo ship bound for the western continent. Sephiroth appears on the ship and kills almost every crew member.

Cloud and his party locate him as he materializes out of the floor, but Sephiroth doesn't recognize Cloud. The party pursues Sephiroth across the Planet, but they do not search alone, as Rufus also wants to take Sephiroth in and has dispatched the Turks, a group of Shinra special operatives, to carry out the task. The party runs into the Turks several times, and in Gold Saucer they meet Cait Sith, a fortune teller cat robot, who joins them.

Barret must confront his past as they return to the site of his former home town, and in Cosmo Canyon Red XIII intends to leave the party, but changes his mind upon discovering the truth of his father whom he had thought cowardly, resolving to protect the planet by continuing to travel with Cloud and his friends. Cosmo Canyon is a center of study on the planet and its Lifestream, and Aeris speaks with the elders and deduces Sephiroth is not an Ancient, and that she is the only Cetra left.

The group keeps pursuing the rumors of a man in a black cape and arrives at Nibelheim, finding it fully rebuilt by Shinra and populated by Shinra employees posing as the villagers to cover up the incident five years ago. The town is infested with people robed in black who rant on about Sephiroth, the numbered Sephiroth Clones Professor Hojo had created after Nibelheim's torching to test his Reunion theory.

The party finds Sephiroth at the library of the Shinra Manor who asks for Cloud to join him in the Reunion, but Cloud doesn't know what he is talking about. Sephiroth flees and the group chases him across the Mt. Nibel to Rocket Town where they meet Cid Highwind, an aeronautical engineer whose dreams of going into space had been dashed by Shinra's lack of funding.

Rufus arrives to take Cid's airplane, the Tiny Bronco. Cid refuses, and the party helps stop Palmer , a Shinra executive, from stealing the plane, but end up boarding it themselves along with Cid, who joins the party.

The plane crashes into the ocean and becomes the party's boat. Vincent is a former Turk who was betrayed by his love, Lucrecia Crescent , Sephiroth's biological mother and a Shinra scientist, and turned into a monster. He sleeps beneath the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim in penance for his sins of failing to stop the Jenova Project, but joins the party upon learning they might run into Professor Hojo whom he deems culpable for everything.

Yuffie is a girl from Wutai Village , a town that fought Shinra dominance during the Wutai War , but has since capitulated. She dreams of restoring her homeland's pride, and joins the party to achieve that.

The party's pursuit of Sephiroth leads them to discover several things. Sephiroth's plan is to use the Black Materia , a Materia so powerful the Cetra hid it away that contains the spell Meteor , the ultimate Black Magic that summons a meteorite to crash into the Planet. Sephiroth's plan is to create a wound in the Planet so large the Lifestream will be sent en masse to heal it where Sephiroth would intercept it and take control of the world.

Sephiroth is followed by a group of black-robed fanatics, the Sephiroth Clones, all bearing a tattoo somewhere on their bodies placed by Professor Hojo. Despite called "clones" they are not true clones however, but normal people Hojo had injected with Jenova's cells. The clones' wills have become overridden by Sephiroth's will, as he is affecting everyone unable to resist the Jenova cells in their bodies.

During their stay at the amusement park Cloud goes on a date with a fellow party member and Cait Sith steals the Keystone and hands it over to Tseng , the leader of the Turks, revealing himself a Shinra spy sent to infiltrate Cloud's group. Cait Sith refuses to reveal his true identity and blackmails the others to take him along. Tseng and his fellow Turk Elena use the Keystone to access the Temple of the Ancients, but cannot decipher its murals. As Elena departs to report to Shinra, Sephiroth attacks Tseng.

Cloud and his party find a wounded Tseng as they arrive at the temple, and regain the Keystone and use it to get deeper into the maze. It turns out the temple itself is the Black Materia, and to make into a usable form, somebody must be left inside while the temple shrinks. Cait Sith volunteers, his body being a robot, and he is destroyed once the temple turns into a Materia sphere.

Cloud takes the Black Materia, but Sephiroth arrives and bends Cloud under his control. Cloud hands the Materia over to Sephiroth and attacks Aeris, and is knocked out by the other party members. Another Cait Sith appears to replace the first, and Aeris leaves the party to find a way to save the world from Meteor now that Sephiroth has acquired the Black Materia. Aeris travels to the Forgotten City , the lost city of the Cetra. Cloud is troubled Sephiroth was able to control him, but resolves to continue his journey as Tifa and Barret encourage him to go on.

The party chases after Aeris and Sephiroth, and when they find her praying on an altar at the Forgotten City Cloud is almost brought to kill her by Sephiroth's control, only being snapped out of his thrall by the intervention of his comrades.

Sephiroth murders Aeris by impaling her with the Masamune. Cloud is enraged, but Sephiroth taunts Cloud, telling him he should not act as though he has feelings. Floating up into the sky, the "Sephiroth" turns out to be Jenova; the person the party hunted and followed since the beginning was Jenova—escaped from the tank in the Shinra Headquarters—taking Sephiroth's form. After a battle with a piece of Jenova, the party pays their respects to the departed Aeris as Cloud lays her deceased body to rest in the waters of the Forgotten City.

Cloud decides to continue the journey to complete his revenge against Sephiroth even knowing he may lose control of himself again. In Icicle Inn the party finds recordings that detail Aeris's birth and Jenova's true nature, as that is where Aeris was born to Gast Faremis and Ifalna. Gast was the scientist who had led Shinra's Jenova Project who had departed the company upon finding a true Cetra, Ifalna, the last survivor.

Gast had helped Ifalna escape Shinra and the two had settled in the remote Icicle Inn where Gast had interviewed her on her knowledge on Jenova and the guardians of the planet, Weapons.

Ifalna had told Gast Jenova, which Gast had mistaken as a Cetra, was in fact the "Calamity from the Skies" responsible for the Cetra's dwindled numbers. Jenova is a shapeshifting extraterrestrial organism that had arrived on a meteorite years ago, creating the large crater to the Planet's north pole. The creature had been sealed away by the last surviving Cetra, and it was from this geological stratum that Gast and his researchers had excavated its body years later. The two had later escaped into the Midgar slums, but Ifalna had perished during the escape and Aeris had been adopted by a slum dweller named Elmyra Gainsborough.

The party follows Sephiroth to the North Crater that had been created by Jenova's fall two thousand years ago. They are joined by Rufus and his gang, arriving on the airship Highwind , and a horde of Sephiroth Clones, all of whom Sephiroth slays. Cloud explains to the others that what they had been pursuing was not the true Sephiroth, but can feel he is nearby. Cloud and Tifa go alone, and Cloud hands the Black Materia to a party member remaining behind to prevent himself from being tricked into giving it to Sephiroth again.

Cloud and Tifa stumble upon an illusion of the events that took place in Nibelheim five years ago and Sephiroth shows Cloud was never there, his role taken by a man called Zack. Tifa cannot refute Sephiroth's claims, and Cloud begins to believe they are true. Sephiroth claims Cloud is but a facsimile created by Hojo, a puppet with false memories posing as a boy "Cloud" Tifa knows from her childhood.

Sephiroth creates another illusion to trick the party member holding the Black Materia to come to Cloud, who takes the Materia and explains to his friends he is a mere pawn for Sephiroth, yet another Sephiroth Clone.

Hojo, who has accompanied Rufus to the crater, is at first interested in Cloud, but upon discovering Cloud doesn't have a numbered tattoo, discards him as a failure, annoyed a "failed experiment" is the only one to have made it to the "Reunion" with the true Sephiroth. Sephiroth's true body is inside a Materia cocoon, and Cloud hands him the Black Materia.

Sephiroth summons Meteor, which awakens the planet's guardians, the Weapons, giant monsters of immense destructive power. As the crater floor crumbles Cloud and Sephiroth's cocoon fall into the Lifestream and the party escapes with Shinra on their airship.

Cloud had been acting strange and claimed it had been five years since they'd last seen. Although Tifa knew it to be longer than that, she had never confronted him, instead asking him to join AVALANCHE so she would have more time to decide what to do and to keep an eye on him and his strange behavior. Tifa awakes in Junon seven days later and finds a world in chaos: a meteorite looms over the sky, a sign of the impending end of the world.

Sephiroth has surrounded the North Crater with a barrier preventing either Shinra or the Weapons from attacking his true body, and the creatures have taken to attacking Shinra's sites of power instead. Rufus, trying to show Shinra is still in control, decides to use Tifa and Barret as scapegoats and publicly execute the pair on live broadcast television.

Before the execution can go through, Sapphire Weapon attacks Junon , and Shinra kills it with a direct shot to the face with the Junon Mako Cannon. The other party members, led by Cait Sith, sneak in during the attack to rescue Tifa and Barret, and steal the Highwind. The party finds Cloud suffering severe Mako poisoning in the town of Mideel , where he had washed in by the currents of the Lifestream, an ethereal substance that streams beneath the surface of the planet that is its life energy.

Tifa stays behind to watch over him, as she is adamant Sephiroth's story of Cloud being Hojo's creation with false memories is untrue, and wants to help him regain his true self. Cid leads the party to claim Shinra's Huge Materia , which Shinra schemes to load onto Cid's rocket and launch directly at the meteorite.

Cid doesn't want Shinra to get their hands on the Huge Materia, massive concentrations of the planet's power, and wants them for their own use to fight Sephiroth. The Ultimate Weapon crashes in Mideel.

The town is destroyed by an earthquake as the Lifestream swallows it and Cloud and Tifa fall in. She confirms Cloud is the genuine article, although not the person he had made himself believe he was. Embarrassed by his failure, he had not told anyone from his hometown. After Sephiroth had learned Shinra had created him from Jenova, he had gone insane and torched the town.

Sephiroth had departed for the mako reactor to save his "mother", as Jenova had been contained there. Zack had confronted Sephiroth at the reactor, but lost. Cloud had arrived soon after seeking revenge, and a weakened Zack had given Cloud his Buster Sword to kill Sephiroth with. Cloud had hurled Sephiroth into the Lifestream below the reactor, but had suffered great wounds in the affair and fallen unconscious. After Hojo had arrived to assess the situation, he had taken Zack and Cloud, as well as the other survivors from the village, to be his test subjects to turn them into Sephiroth Clones by injecting them with Jenova cells.

While the villagers had been turned into clones, Zack and Cloud had not reacted as desired, and were deemed failures to be contained in the Shinra Manor. Korgoth of Barbaria - You couldn't handle more than one anyway. Thankfully, it wasn't hard, so my characters only lost half of their health. I heard there's a patch to fix this, but because I'm already beyond it, I'm going to ignore it. I don't know if the Snowboarding game will do the same but since you can't die, I think that'll be no problem , but if the Submarine mini-game will be faster I'll keep everyone informed.

I'm sure GameFAQs will pardon me of my double posting I ran into a two problem. This problem was in Junon. When you use the Dolphin to get up to Junon's higher portion of it's city, and see the airship, you go over to the platform, and it lowers you Well, unfortunately, because of the problem of Polygons not doing what they are suppose to be doing, the polygons won't match the lowering or raising of the platform.

After the platform lowers, it'll instantly be back up to the higher level, but the game will act as if you were on the lower section. Just walk up to door below shouldn't be hard to get to as if you were down there, and that problem will be solved Don't know any solution around this, and going to your menu won't do a thing. The second one was another "Black Screen" I guess you would call it.

It's where after a FMV plays, and after it ends, it''s suppose to show your characters, but instead shows nothing. Well, it can be avoided by pressing the menu at the first available point hopefully you'll be able to do that. When first arriving at the gold saucer, the screen will go black, and after hitting the menu, you'll be able to get your screen back. Unfortunately, a glitch prevents you from leaving If you don't have the gil, you're stuck until you quit the game.

Incidentally, when you get past the first entering of the Gold Saucer, and come back to ride the elevator, it won't glitch, and you'll be able to go back and forth as you please I'll keep everyone informed on any more problems, hopefully bringing solutions. Steele 13 years ago 6. Thank you! Yeah, unfortunately, there are a lot of bugs I'm compiling a list of them as I play the game, and after I have finished, I'll submit them all.

I've met about on disc 1, and only 1 on disc 2 so far I'll keep everyone updated. While I'm at it, I'll go ahead and post the problems on disc 1 that I ran into.

Unfortunately, because of the polygon interaction is off, the platform will go back up, but the game will assume you are on the lower section. There's nothing that can be done about this. This only happens this one time, the rest will be fine. Instructions: 1. Make sure to download the version with the separate CD's. Not the Ultima Edition download.

Then, download Daemon tools from download. Delete all codecs you have on your computer. Delete them ALL. If you are not willing to make these sacrifices then I hope you die by Cloud's buster sword.

Next, using Daemon tools, mount the install file should be in. Install that shit. Do not install the direct x 5, yamamha synth, and the other one. Don't install them. Next, go to your upside-down movies patch file and right click. Go to properties and change compatibility to windows XP sp2. Run it as administrator. Change compatibility to win98, colors, x, run as administrator. That should fix it. If not, write back up on here and i will try to help you out. Good luck. Truemotion 2. Put ff7.

But you have to install Truemotion codec 2. That the bad news but it works. I followed all the imformation, patched the 3 patches, ran the game as well as the configuration at 98 compatible mode as admin. The Eidos movie didn't show, but the main menu was OK.

The opening movie played smoothly, and there was no texture problem. I began to think all was well but simply I was wrong!

Tell what I am doing whrong and I did install the drivers do I need to un install them? Any help will be greatly appreciated! But I have a problema in the grafics, the caracters have missing legs,arms,etc How can I fix this? Mitsuomi: Try different. You have simialar pc specs as me and i never experienced that problem try the chocobo patch onthe original. Help please i have downloaded the full pc version of FF7 but when i try to open it it says to insert dic 1, 2, or 3 what do i do or where can i get these discs cause i am craving FF7 for about 3 years now.

Every time I enter the chocobo races after corel prison the screen goes black but the music keeps playing! Then it comes up with the "Send error report" junk any help would be If he downloaded it from the internet, u just need a crack.

Sounds simple at first, but, believe me, it isn't. I have a couple with me, but only one of them seems to work with the chocobo patch and the 1. So, if he needs it, anomas. If downloaded they shouldbe cd images just mount install image disc and install it then mount disc 1 into clone drive then you get movies too and dont need a crack.

A russian pal from this forum solved the problem by mounting his image using nero imagedrive, which worked, even though the written cd and clone cd mounter couldn't do it Maybe somebody can help me. I came to this sight to try and find out how to make my game work at the chocobo races.

I saw somebody post the same exact problem I have, it stops working just at the chocobo races. But I don't know what to do to fix it. Am I missing the link to solve the problem.
