Version 1.6

30-Sep-99

NEW: General overhaul of the FAQ adding some new info and clearing up
some loose ends. Enjoy!

Authors note: I'm sorry that the FAQ has ben neglected for so long,
but I have been busy lately. I meant to release a new version a few
weeks ago, but then Final Fantasy VIII arrived from America.. you know
how it is :). With FF8 out of the way I decided to get back to the
FAQ and add the numerous little bits of advice I had received since
the last update. It's actually worked out quite well, as I now I have
enough new things to add to make the update worthwhile.
One thing in particular I would like to draw your attention to is the
new "How to use this guide" section. It might seem unnecessary, but
quite a few people have clearly not found the FAQ that easy and
intuitive to navigate - and unless you've been reading since the
first version (or read every word) then it really is quite difficult
to know where to find certain information (especially the Old chestnut
"How do I get Sephiroth?"). If you're new to the guide then please
read it through and it'll make finding what you want a much more
painless experience. Right, I'm off to play through FF8 again..

- Andrew

SHAMELESS PLUG: Do you love Square's other RPG masterpiece, XENOGEARS?
Then check out my debug FAQ, available at the usual sites.

WANTED: I thought of an interesting idea - could anyone send me a
dexdrive save of the debug room to put on my webspace? It would be
useful for those who haven't got an AR/GS or have only an Xplorer
cart. If you could do this, then please mail me about it first - I
don't want to end up with a mail box stuffed full of 10MB of
binaries.. Anyone who can help out please contact me.

NOTICE:
------

This FAQ can ONLY be freely distributed as long as it is done so in IT'S ENTIRETY and
is unaltered. This FAQ CANNOT be used commercially or otherwise reprinted or
incorporated into any commercial medium. It is FOR PRIVATE USE ONLY.

THIS FAQ IS FOR THE PAL VERSION OF FF7. AS FAR AS I KNOW IT IS THE SAME AS THE
AMERICAN VERSION, BUT THIS IS NOT CERTAIN.
(But judging by the effort put into the PAL conversion - i.e. zero, it is pretty
likely the games are the same. The Japanese version, however is DEFINITELY NOT the
same. Read Kao Megura's FAQ for that version (thanks for the mention BTW :) )).

Introduction
============

Like most Playstation owners I had bought and enjoyed Final Fantasy VII from
Squaresoft. I had played the game to death, solved every puzzle, collected
every item and found every secret, it seemed that I had would have to wait for
FF VIII for my next FF fix. But then I heard about the secret debug room. I
didn't believe it at first, and as I have the PAL version of the game I
couldn't see it for my own eyes. Then someone came up with the PAL version of
the code and it blew my mind. This must be the most comprehensive debug mode of
any game ever, it lets you start at any point in the game with any characters
and any items. I decided to catalog the confusing menus and options so that I
could actually work out ways to use it rather then just mess about with it.

All you need to access the room is a Gameshark or Action Replay cartridge, some
patience, and this guide. Included are codes for nearly every FF7 version (the
only version that there isn't a code for is Japanese FF7 International, at least
that I know of). I hope you enjoy reading this FAQ and have fun discovering some
of the weird secrets of Final Fantasy VII.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS:
========

1.) The Debug Codes.
2.) The Main Debug Room. (includes 'map' of rooms).
3.) Hints And Tips (Recommended that you read first).
4.) The 10 Debug rooms.
5.) Miscellaneous (including the 'Pyramid' enemies)..
6.) Music Player Guide.
7.) Frequently Asked Questions. (useful as a 'quickstart' guide)
8.) Credits/Copyright/Thanks..

How To Use This Guide
=====================

I'm not trying to be patronising, but it has really become noticable that some
people - far from not reading the instructions - have become confused as to the
layout of the guide and where to find the information they want. I originally split
the guide into themed sections so that you can quickly find what you want, but as the
versions have piled up the debug rooms section has hidden the other sections away
under hundreds of lines of options.
I intended the guide to work as follows:

Debug rooms breakdown (Sections 1-4):-
This is the bulk of the guide and simply consists of a huge list of every option
and what they do. If you've been looking through the rooms and want to know what
option X does, then look here.

Frequently Asked Questions (Section 7):-
This is possibly the most useful section of the FAQ. It is designed not only to
let you quickly see if any problems you may have had have been previously answered,
but also covering useful little tricks and tips for the debug room.

Miscellaneous (Section 5):-
This section goes hand in hand with the FAQ section. It offers an in depth
explanation of some useful and strange tricks in the debug rooms, as well as
providing further explanations of parts of the main debug room guide.

You see, it's simple. I hope you didn't find that too tedious or patronising,
but I figured that if by writing this I could stop another ten people asking
"How do I get Sephiroth?", then it would be worthwhile..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, the most important part..

|--------------------|
+ 1.) The Debug Codes+--------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------|

Remember, these codes are designed for Action Replay/Gameshark cartridges and may not
work on Xplorer or other such devices.

----------------------------------------------------------------------+
THE AMERICAN RELEASE DEBUG CODE |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|This code was the one that started it all. Thanks to: |
(original code)| |
8009A05C 0041 |R P G O D and C Z A R D R A G O N |
(Improved code)| |
8009ABF6 0041 |FF players the world over can enjoy a truly remarkable|
|secret. We Salute you! |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
THE UNITED KINGDOM PAL RELEASE DEBUG CODE |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|For once PAL owners were not left out, thanks to: |
| |
80099F2C 0041 |G U R T Y G U R T |
| |
|the code can be used on the PAL game. This guide would|
|not exist without this code. Thank you! |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
THE FRENCH PAL RELEASE DEBUG CODE CODE |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|A new addition, this code was donated by: |
| |
8009A174 0041 |A L E X I S H U E T |
| |
|Now French owners can join in the fun. |
|Merci beaucoup! |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
THE JAPANESE RELEASE DEBUG CODE |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+
|Ironically, this was the last code I heard about. |
| |
800987F4 0041 |C H A R L E S M C D O N A L D |
| |
|created this code for the Japanese game. |
|Now every FF7 version is covered. Great work! |
---------------+------------------------------------------------------+

Code to play the terrible PAL version in NTSC (not perfect, but still better
than PAL. Can anyone fix the screen position?).

PAL to NTSC code: D0051464 0001
80051464 0000

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS:
===== ============
(Read this CAREFULLY before you use the code).

1. Enter the code into your GS/AR as usual. (For the N.America release, enter
both the provided codes. BTW, this new code fixes some graphical glitches.)

2. Start the game with the code active.

3. Either select 'New Game' to start in the debug room with a level 1 party, or select
'Load Game' to start with a saved party (then enter any town or 'field screen' to get
to the debug room).

4. Once the debug room has loaded, SWITCH OFF the GS/AR (you cannot enter the other
debug rooms otherwise).

5. To get back to the debug room, either select an option from a character in one of
the other debug rooms with the switch on, or if you are in the actual game walk off
any exit in the game with the switch on (as long as it dosen't lead to the world map
screen).

6. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE CODE WHEN ENTERING THE WORLD MAP SCREEN.

GAMESHARK OWNERS READ THIS:
========= ====== ==== ====

Several people have written to me complaining that they cannot enter
any of the other rooms except the main debug room, despite switching
the code off. After further investigation it seems that certain
versions of gameshark do not disable the code properly, so the code
is permanently on preventing access to the other rooms. If you have
this problem (and are SURE that you have switched the code off),
then try the following solution:

1. Load the game with the code on as usual.
2. Once you are in the debug room, talk to Yuffie and select 'MENU ON'.
3. Now save the game to your memory card.
4. Reset the Playstation.
5. Load the game up again, but this time DO NOT SWITCH ON THE CODE AT ALL.
6. Load the saved game you made earlier.

There is one downside to this, you cannot re-enter the main debug room
unless you load the saved game again.

|------------------------|
+ 2.) The Main Debug Room+-----------------------------------------------------------
|------------------------|

This is the centre of the debug mode, allowing access to all the other rooms
and also back to the game itself. To get to the debug room, simply switch on
the code and walk into any normal field screen (NOT the map screen). Remember,
ALWAYS switch off the code when you go into the map screen mode, or something
very strange will happen...

The most useful feature of this room is Yuffie. Talk to her to bring up a
general menu with the following options:

NEXT - Next set of options.

MENU ON - Enables all menu options (i.e Save and PHS. Thanks to
'EsperFF6' for that one :) )

BATTLE LOCK - Disables battles. (Try wandering around the map and see what
happens...)
BATTLE UNLOCK - Enables battles again.

MOVIE LOCK - Skips all the movies.

MOVIE UNLOCK - Enables movies again.

GLOBAL RESET - Resets money and party.

FULL NAME - Puts a load of gibberish in each characters name.
(Also creates an interesting side effect - see
miscellaneous section.)

NEW START - Restarts the game as if 'NEW GAME' was selected on the title
screen. (THIS ONLY WORKS WITH DISK 1!)

EXIT - Cancels

Menu 2:
BACK - Goes back.

SOUND RESET - Resets sound effects/music.

FULL MATERIA - Gives you all materia (that can fit in the list)

BATTLE999 - Special battle against some pyramids (See end of guide).

EXIT

Walking off the left side of the room (Marked 11 below) results in you
returning to the game outside Midgar. It is therefore recommended that you leave
your Chocobo/Highwind there. (MAKE SURE YOU SWITCH OFF THE CODE WHEN LEAVING!)

The 10 rooms are arranged in the following order:
(Room 11 is the exit.)

Room Order:
10

8
7 9

11 6 1

5 2
3

Some of the rooms have special debug keys which perform different operations.
These are outlined below:

Debug Keys:
===== ====

Room 1.
---- -

Select: Help menu for the below.
Square: "Reset Flag" - ?
L1: "Battle off" - switches off battles. Press again to re-enable.
L2: "Set Normal Party" - Gives you Cloud, Barret and Tifa in party.
R1: "Reset Flag" - ?
R2: "Default Name&No Money" - just as it says.
R2 (again): Debug Name&Debug Money" - removes all names and gives you 131071
gil.
Room 2.
---- -

NONE

Room 3.
---- -

Square: "1P" (press again for:) "2P" - This changes the options for
all the characters in the room.
L1: "Debug [Number]" - Determines whether the game was started from 'New Game'
or 'Load Game' option. 0 is a new game, 8 is a saved game.

Rooms 4-10 have no debug keys.

|---------------------------------|
+ 3.) SOME USEFUL HINTS AND TIPS: +--------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------|

*. If you want to play a specific part of the game, put in the correct disk for
that part. Although, as you may know, you can play through FF7 on the wrong disk
usually, doing so with some debug options will crash the game rather than just
showing the wrong films, etc.

*. Many parts of the game will be in the state that you have previously left them
in. For example, if you load up a save from the end of the game and then enter
the debug room and go to the Temple of the Ancients, many parts will not work/not
work properly as in your game the temple no longer exists.

*. ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE CODE IN BOSS BATTLES! Otherwise even if you win you
will see the game over screen..
This also happens in 'scripted' battles (e.g. the 2 guards in the train station at
the start of the game, or the guards when Yuffie steals your materia).

*. Take nothing for granted. Just because an option says 'cancel' or 'quit'
dosen't mean it does..

*. Adding to the first point, in scenes where a certain character MUST be in
your party (e.g. Cait Sith at the Gold Saucer) make sure they are or the game
may behave strangely, or hang.

*. Remember, if anything goes horribly wrong you can always restart the game by
holding all the shoulder buttons, and start and select together. Even if the game
seems to have totally gone up the wall this often still works. If not, you'll
have to reset.. (having said that, you should always be patient, as at least a few
options appear to hang the game or just not respond to commands, but after a few
minutes they will work again).

*. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE! Walking about with Aeris, Sephiroth and Young Cloud
whilst using disabled materia is not likely to make the game play very reliably..

*. Beware of parts of the game that put Tifa or Cid in charge, as they have a
nasty habit of messing up the debug room. This dosen't always happen, but has
happened enough times to annoy me.

*. Options that have [] (Picture of PSX square button) or "R1 de mage" have another
function that will only be shown if you hold the corresponding button down whilst
selecting (keep it held until it has loaded).

*. If you start from a new game, avoid any thing that leads to the PHS screen, as
without any other characters you will be stuck there unless you reset the
Playstation.

|--------------------|
+ 5.) Miscellaneous: +---------------------------------------------------------------
|--------------------|

*. THE DATE SCENE:

One of the most amusing things you can do in FF7 is 'date' all the female characters,
as well as Barret (NO, it's NOT like that :) ). Usually it requires you to be kind/
unkind to different characters to decide which of them you will go with. Each time you
choose certain options you are adding or subtracting to each characters total of how
many 'love points' they have recieved from your actions.
By using the debug room you can bypass playing through the game and skip right to the
'good stuff'. The only problem is which character is chosen.
In view of this I formulated a plan of how to 'date' each character:

1. Go to room 3.

2. Talk to the Aeris on the far right.

3. Select "un" and choose Cloud, the character you want to go with (out of Aeris,
Tifa, Yuffie, and Barret), and finally "inai".

4. Press the square button (you should see "2P" appear)

5. Talk to the top Yuffie. Choose "date no osasoi".

6. Et Voila!

You can do this the hard way by setting the number of points for each character,
but I can't seem to get Barret this way.

*. Chocobo stats:

It is extremely difficult to work out what all the statistics in the Chocobo
screen menu mean, but here is what I have found:

TSP: Maximum Stamina

TS: Current Stamina

SPP: Maximum Speed

SP: Current Speed

ST: ? (maybe this is stamina after all)

AC: Acceleration?

T: Intelligence (out of 100).

LOY: Loyalty. How well the Chocobo behaves (100 is best).

CHR: ?

CHCT: ?

SEX: 0 Male
1 Female

COL: (Colour)
0 Normal
1 Green
2 Blue
3 Black
6 Gold

CL: Number of times Chocobo has been ridden in a race (or races won?).

R: ? (Always seems to be 2)

*. Weird Things:

Something extremely strange and interesting:

1. Enter the debug room through the 'New Game' option.
2. Go to room 2.
3. Talk to the Sailor and select 'shinra airship'.
4. now go outside..

Not only are you not in the submarine, but you are piloting the Key of the
Ancients! Even stranger, you can actually ride over the edges of the ocean cliffs
and sail over the land. Somewhat pointlessly the topography of the normal map has
been roughly preserved, so you can sail over the whole of the landscape. The map
in the bottom of the screen dosen't appear to work properly, as it seems that there
are exact copies of the sea floor scattered around the place. It would be interesting
to see whether there are any other areas you can explore that are not usually accessible.

Thanks to 'Sanagi' for this. (Seems to be an expert at finding weird things :) ).

Start a New game and go to room 4. Talk to the nurse and select "I'm starting over"
Now select "princess" This turns you into the giant Aeris.

Again, thanks to Sanagi for that.

*. Room 4 has lots of strange in jokes. In particular, try walking on the
talking floor, or choosing "To Hades!", from the Giant Aeris menu.
(Presumably due to the tedium of constant bug testing..)

*.SUPER ARMOR

My good friend Vishy discovered an interesting side effect of the
"full name" option:-

In the Main Debug room, talk to Yuffie and choose "FULL NAME". This
will mess up the characters names, but more importantly mess up the
weapon and armor statistics..

Now when you return back to the game you will be practically
invincible. Every attack made apon you by the enemy will miss, or if
they are lucky enough to actually hit you then the damage will
actually HEAL you like using elemental defence! I haven't tested this
out that thoroughly yet, (like against instant death attacks) but it
definitely deflects ANY kind of physical attack and I think all the
magic attacks. In theory this should also work on enemies such as the
WEAPONS and even Sephiroth! I haven't tested this yet, but it
certainly seems concievable. Thanks a lot Vish!

*. The Pyramids...

PYRAMID (real name is unknown)

LEVEL: 4
HP: 10
MP: 200
EXP: 500000
GIL: 500000
AP: 10000

Appear in a group of 5.
The Pyramids do not attack or respond at all to the player. they are
very easy to destroy, but only physically disappear when instant death
is used on them (This has led to the misconception that they are
extremely tough, but in reality they are easily beaten but don't
disappear). Obviously you must hit every single pyramid to win the
match. This is an incredibly easy way to earn levels in seconds. You
can build up a party of level 1 characters up to level 99 in under one
minute. Using 'Exp plus' materia makes the process even faster.

Pyramid properties:-

The pyramids can be manipulated but have no attacks.
Cannot be morphed or stolen from.
Can be poisoned - but dies straight away anyway..
Can be silenced.
Can be confused! - they spin around.
Cannot be 'mini'ed or 'toad'ed
Can be 'beserk'ed - turn red.
Can be sent to sleep.
You can use the enemy skill 'L4 suicide' on them (I expect the reason why
they are at level 4 is for testing this).
Can be 'sense'ed.
Can be killed by 'instant death' attacks.

Each Pyramid gives you a Turbo Ether when killed.

INTERESTING UPDATE:
Zach Fisher mailed me with a strange observation. He found that if you
attacked the Pyramid in the far back row (middle) the battle would end
immediately, without even touching the other pyramids. I experimented
with this and I found that as he said, you could win by just attacking
the back pyramid. What was stranger though, was that if you attack any
other pyramid first and then attacked the back pyramid you would
still have to defeat all 5 pyramids to win.

Use this little tip and you can earn levels even faster than before.

*. THE SUPER-DELUXE GUIDE TO GETTING SEPHIROTH!

As you probably know, you can use the debug room to add Sephiroth to
your party. However, getting him and making use of him can be
difficult. Here are some usefull tips:

TO GET SEPHIROTH

The basic question. The best way to get Sephiroth is to do the
following:

1. Load up the game with the code on. USE DISK 1 and select "NEW GAME".
The reason for this is that if you enter the debug room with Vincent
in your party, then it makes your probability of getting Sephiroth to
plummet to almost nothing (it is nearly impossible to get Sephiroth
once you have Vincent, or even reach a part of the game where you
Could get Vincent).

2. Go to debug room 2 and talk to Sephiroth and choose his bottom
(blank) option. Now you'll be back in the main debug room.

3. Check the menu screen and if you see the name Sephiroth and his
portrait, then the chances are that you have got a 'working'
Sephiroth. Now you can do whatever you want with him.

SEPHIROTH - ABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS

Why bother getting Sephiroth? Aside from looking good, Sephiroth has a
useful trick up his sleeve - he's invincible. Although his attacks are
not that powerful, Sephiroth cannot be hurt by ANYTHING. In fact, I
think the only thing that can hurt him is Ruby WEAPON's "whirlsand"
attack (and this only removes him from battle). Having trouble beating
the WEAPON's? Then try using Sephiroth and sit back and wait.. It'll
take a LONG while, but eventually he'll beat them - on his own if need
be.
This highlights a major advantage/disadvantage of sephiroth - you
can't control his actions in battle. No matter what you do, Sephiroth
will always just attack, and use magic where appropriate. There is no
way to control him yourself.

Actually, that's not quite true..

HOW TO CONTROL SEPHIROTH IN BATTLES

I received a mail from Lau Zhen-Jock, who found a way of actually
controlling Sephiroth in battles. He said that if you kill Sephiroth
in a battle, and then revive him after wards, then he'll be under your
control like a 'normal' character. I'm sure by now you'll be shouting
"but you can't kill him, he's invincible!", and you'd be right. Here's
the clever part - you have to use a Gameshark code to reduce his HP to
nothing. I still haven't tried this yet (I haven't got a PAL code to
do this yet..), but I know of several codes that allow you to kill off
the party member in a certain position in battle for the American
version, so try one of these and see if it works. Don't forget to turn
it off afterwards when you bring him back to life, though..

Can someone else confirm this please? (and/or point me to a site with
some codes for PAL FF7 that do this).

I would confirm it myself, but I was so caught up in FF8, I forgot
about this until this update.

I'll include further information in a later update.

Unfortunately, there is no music player in the debug room. But now you have the next
best thing.

|-------------------------------|
+ 7.) Frequently Asked Questions+----------------------------------------------------
|-------------------------------|

AERIS

Q. I want to resurrect Aeris. How do I do it?

A: There are several ways, but this is the most reliable:

1. Enter room 9.
2. Talk to Barret.
3. Choose the fifth option from the invisible menu (push down four times).
You Now have Aeris back! To get her in top condition you'll have to do this:

Limit break Manual:
4. Go to room 3.
5. Talk to the bottom Yuffie. Select "item iroiro" for Aeris's limit break.

Maximum stats:
6. in the main debug room talk to Yuffie and choose "BATTLE999" and kill the
pyramids until Aeris reaches level 99 (takes about 4 turns without 'Exp plus'
materia).
7. Give her loads of the Power and Speed sources you'll have got from Yuffie.

Best Weapon:
8. Go to Tifa in room 6. Select option 3. Now you can give Aeris the
Umbrella, her best weapon. Note that it has NO Materia slots at
all, however.

SEPHIROTH

Q. I want to play as Sephiroth. How?

A: It is very difficult to get a reliable Sephiroth (ie. actually appears in
battles, etc.), but try this:

1. Go to room 2.
2. Talk to the Sailor and choose last Dungeon. (If you go back to the debug
room you may lose Sephiroth)
3. Get back in the Highwind and have fun with Sephiroth!
NOTE: this can be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it will work perfectly, other
times it won't.

Also, try reading the 'Miscellaneous' section for more info on this.

GOLD CHOCOBO

Q. I Want A Gold Chocobo. How do I cheat?

A: Tsk. Do the following:
(Make sure you have an empty Chocobo stable first).
1. Go to room 2.
2. Talk to the fat bloke. Choose "After Armegedon"
3. Choose "yes", then "get DESERT ROSE", and finally "event start".
4. Go outside and into the nearest house and go upstairs.
5. Talk to the old man twice. Talk to the Chocobo, and he's yours!

ITEMS

Q. I want the Guide book/I want the items you get for killing weapon(s), but I
can't be bothered to kill them..

A: Do the same as for the last question, but select get [item name] for all the
items.

Q. I want character X/Y/Z's limit break. Where can I get 'em?

A: Here:

1. Go to room 3.
2. Talk to the bottom Yuffie. Choose "item iroiro". Simple.

Q. How can I get all those 'source' things?

A: Do the same as for the above question To get speed and power sources. Or do
the same as the question below to get 99 of all of them:

Q. How can I get every item?

A: Talk to Tifa in room 6. Select option 3.

WATCHING THE CGI FILMS

Q. I want to watch all the excellent CGI films. How do I do it?

A: There are several film viewers, but they are very unreliable and unfriendly
to use. The best ones IMHO are:

1. Go to room 2 and talk to sephiroth and select 'use'. This is the best player
(IMHO) as it plays the films with the correct music and follows past any cuts in
the film, etc. It also checks for the correct disk for once as well.

2. Go to room 6 and talk with Yuffie. ONLY DO THIS WITH DISK 2 INSERTED (I can't
get it to work with any other disk). Choosing 'plus' skips a film.

There are others, but they either play only 1 or 2 specific films or crash badly.

MINIGAMES

Q. I want to play X/Y minigame. Where are they?

Highway Bike Game: Room 2. Talk to the sailor. Select "HIGHWAY minigame"
Room 5. Talk to Dyne, and select minigame.

Submarine Game: Room 1. Talk to the sailor and select "minigame X".
The number X is the game version (difficulty).

Snowboarding Game: Room 7, talk to Aeris.

Fort Condor Battle game: Go to room 6. Talk to the wrestler. 1-6 changes the
difficulty, and 'last one' is the Huge materia version (hardest).

MUSIC PLAYER

Q. I want to listen to all the music. Is there a music player?

A: No. Try looking in the 'miscellaneous' section for some music locations.

Q. The characters have all been given stupid names like 'Princess' or 'Ballet'.
How the hell do I change them back?

A: Try going to a different debug room to change them back, or do the following:

1. Go to room 3 and talk to the shaking Cloud.
2. Select 'ima..'
3. Choose your character to rename.

BUGS/SIDE EFFECTS

Q. Can I change my onscreen character to someone else? Like Sephiroth?

A: This is possible, but totally unreliable.

1. Going to room 3 will turn Cloud into Cloud with his sword drawn.

2. You can make Tifa and Cid as leaders as would happen in some parts of the
game normally.

3. It is possible to appear as Sephiroth holding Jenova's head, but I haven't
been able to repeat this.

4. Also selecting a certain option will return you to the game looking like Lucretia,
but unfortunatley you are stuck in a wall making this useless..

5. It is possible to appear as the giant Aeris in room 4.

Q. Yuck! The debug room graphics are all messed up. I won't stand for this, how do I
change it back!?

A: If you have the N.American version, use the improved code as well as the old one.
If not, try going to room 2, talking to Sephiroth and selecting the bottom invisible option.

Q. What the hell is the strange mess you see when you go to the world map with the
switch on?

A: This makes the game display the world map with the 'snow wasteland' effect seen in
the Great Glacier section of the game. you cannot control the camera or enter
any town, you can only walk around and fight random battles. If you start a new
game and end up here you see the instructions that you receive when you get here in
the game proper. The only way out of here is to reset the game (L1+L2+R1+R2+Select+Start),
or switch off the Playstation and start again.
You can avoid this screen appearing by using the improved code for the American version.

THE 'DATE' SEQUENCE

Q. I want to date Tifa/Yuffie/Barret. How?

A: Try looking in the 'miscellaneous' section for a guide to this.

That's all for now..
