Final Fantasy VII Hints

Here's what happens if you go in through the front door...

  • *  This way is faster, but you have to fight several battles along the way.
    *  However, you can chase around the Shinra staff before taking the elevator.
    *  You have to check the control panel in the elevator (the one that goes haywire) after each enemy encounter in order to continue upwards.
    *  If you start going up the stairs, but decide later to go through the front door, you won't have to fight anybody on the elevators, and the main area of the ground floor will be empty.
