With their new car the party goes to the nearest town. Their friends Rude and Reno are waiting for them while they talk about our female party members.
The turks were attacked by surprise and defeated shamefully.
Barret learns Grenade and I get a materia that always makes a critical hit, if it connects...
This monster reminds me of Mother 3... There's the Titan materia in a hole also.
Cloud makes a comment about the state of the reactor, it'd interesting if he hadn't been there already.
It's time to go to Nibelheim now that we've got all the interesting things in that place. Suspiciously, our car breaks near a certain place. Maybe we should go there. A group of vicious penguins attack the party and Yuffie and she learns Clear Tranquil.
I wonder who Nanaki is too... Meanwhile, our Nanaki goes to see his grandfather, a human! Is there a destroyed mako reactor near too?
The group visits the cultural facilities in the canyon, like the planetarium, the Cosmo Flame and...
...the cursed cavern.
There's a switch in one of those holes and ghosts in the rest. It isn't a good idea to run over that sliding surface, so take your time.
There's this Added Effect materia that add the status effects of the linked materia. It'll be useful to create a pseudo-ribbon with it. There's a lot of spiderwebs with evil spiders in them that do pretty powerful attacks.
Thanks to their devastating attacks, Cloud can use Beam Blade many times and he learns Climhazzard.
The boss of the ghosts appears and the group has to kill it. Someone said that it's undead and you can use a phoenix down to kill it, but I like the hard way to destroy it.
A new materia that I'll never use!!!
There's an emotional cutscene or something like that and Nanaki gets a very powerful weapon.
At last we can see how are the people of Nibelheim faring. There's a lot of hooded people and actors. Cloud tries to get Tifa's final limit break, but it's too soon for that.
We visit the Shinra Mansion so Sephiroth can practice materia throwing on us. Thanks! I won't get Vincent yet, so it's time to continue.
There's a new tier of double growth weapons in Mount Nibel. Casually, I have in the party the three characters who can use them: Tifa, Cloud and Nanaki. We should drop the ladder if we want to get all the interesting things in this room like another All materia and Tifa's weapon.
The dragons in this cave have some Gold Armlets to be stolen.
The boss battle of this place is tougher than usual. It can be paralyzed with Cross Cut and Chocobo/Mog to ease it.
You shouldn't kill it before it uses Trine so you can learn it (2 Enemy Skill materias equipped). And the party obtains the Counterattack materia as a reward.
The party reaches the last town of the continent. It has a rocket and aerial transportation. We need that plane, so we go to see the owner and convince him to give it to us. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to collaborate.
Rufus wants it too. Shinra shouls have thousands of them, this one will be mine! Palmer tries to steal it and he's going to lament it.
Palmer taunts the party, but he's defeated easily.
The Tiny Bronco starts to move alone (hahaha) and the party feels obliged to ride it. The plane is hit and becomes a boat. Cid is a crazy dude and joins the party. It's time to explore that nearby mini-continent.
Shinra soldiers ambush the party while Yuffie acts strangely. Mmmmm, there's only the attack command in this battle.
Oh boy, our materia! Stolen! That only means one thing, revengeance!!!
The turks don't get bored of going to the same places as our characters, but they don't feel like being aggresive. Yuffie steals another materia while my anger meter increases.
The party chases after Yuffie and they catch her finally. I feel lucky.
But it's a trap, and the persucution resumes.
This town has a lot of known faces and Don Corneo wants to greet us. Nice to see you, but give me Yuffie back! The turks are "friendly" right now and help with the search.
It seems that Don Corneo is busy teaching English to his lovers and it's really effective. But my characters make loud noises and the lesson is finished. He has to release another pet of his property to defend himself.
This boss is dangerous right now as it uses Aero3/Aeroga (1500 of damage!!!). It's a good idea to buy many Phoenix Downs before this battle. I don't know why there aren't screenshots of the turks owning Don Corneo, but the imagination is a good faculty.
After that, Yuffie rejoins the party and gives back the materia. Our next objective is to get a materia in the Crazy Cat Lady home.
Before continuing their journey the group enjoys destroying groups of mushrooms.
And the rewards are fresh Limit Breaks.
To be continued...
