Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.40: Rocket Town

Head around the mountains, to your left, then up and around to find a small town.

Rocket Town is named as such because of the really big, old rocket that dominates the scenery. When you get into town, speak to the man watching the rocket twice to obtain the Yoshiyuki, a unique weapon for Cloud that increases in strength when he is accompanied by fallen (or otherwise underclocked) party members. Continue to investigate the shops and various houses; in the house to the right of the rocket, there's a Drill Arm in a chest in one of the rooms, and out in the back you'll see a large, pink aircraft. Shera, who lives there, comes out and tells you that you should ask the Captain about the aircraft.

In the house beyond that house, you can get a Power Source from a chest. When you go to the rocket, head up a couple of little bridges then up the long ladder. You'll find the Captain up there, whose name is Cid. It'll impress him if you ask about the rocket straight away, but you don't have to ask that first. Once he starts repeating dialogue, head back to the house where you met Shera.

Palmer shows up after a flash-back, and Cid is asked to go outside. Follow him out to hear the conversation, then Shera calls you back. Head to the Tiny Bronco, and get ready for a fight.

	As far as bosses go, Palmer is pretty pathetic. He's not a complete pushover, though, so don't let your guard down. Summons work well, and Bio2 is useful.

Somehow during the fight (or maybe before?) Palmer managed to start the Tiny Bronco. Your party climbs on after Palmer is hit by a truck, and you make a dramatic escape with Cid in tow. You end up near the Wutai continent, so you can land there and possibly do a side quest, if you did a prior event.
