After Cloud finds himself, go back to Neiblem and go into the Shinra Mansion,
go to the basement Spehiroth was in. It will open up a secret cinema where you
REALLY find out why Cloud became a mercenary and how he got Zack's sword.

Are you joking? Tell us what happeneds. And what do you mean 'when he
finds himself'?

Two things:

1. You can consider it a secret, because it was added into the American
translation of the game (and FFVIIi).

2. It's fun to see Zack shake like that (you know what I mean).

Can someone tell me what happens? I don't have anything saved there, and
I'm not in the mood to start a new game yet.

After Tifa goes into his mind. And you can access that movie at any time
after Cloud becomes leader again, so unless you deleted your game, you
could easily go back and see it.

Cool! Are there any more plot thingies in the game? I'm not talking
about how to get the Tiny Bronco, what to do with 1/35th, but is there
any more plot stuff that's secret? Also, what was that letter with Tifa
and Zack or something about during the game? I haven't played FF7 for a
while, so I don't remember how they ended up in Nibelheim together. Did
Zack survive Sephiroth's blow, and is that how they ended up there?
Thanks.

Umm... yeah, that's a REAL big secret..... except for one thing, I've seen
it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry if that was a bit annoying)

yeah, he's going back to midgar, zack dies, and cloud keeps his sword. Some
old guy drives them back in his truck, and asks them what they're going to
do, and zack suggest "let's be mercenaries" cloud kind of agrees. Later (I
don't remember why) some ppl from SOLDIER start shooting at them, zack falls
down, dead, cloud also falls down, looking dead, later cloud wakes and finds
zacks sword.

to access it (if this is the one he's talking about) you have to go into the
basement of the mansion, and walk into the place where seph was
studying. You, however can't get the key from the safe first. In otherwords
you have to do it before you get vincent, but after sephiroth
and his clones leave nibelheim. I didn't really think it was a secret when
I found it out.

You don't need to do this before you get Vincent. It happens after you get
Cloud back, long after most people have already found Vincent. What you see
is Cloud's memory, but he won't remember this until he and Tifa have fallen
into the lifestream at Mideel.

It's not a mainstream sequence.

BTW Read the two tubes, then go back into the other reading room and read
the books, you'll get some things. BTW Zack is A and Cloud is B.

So there could be other places with memory sequences, like the reactor
where he fought Sephiroth at Nibelheim. BTW, how did Zack and Cloud end
up in the tubes? Didn't Zack buy it when Sephiroth sliced him?

greater than, on average, 15 hours in an RPG.

EMI, but what happens in Tifa's flashback again? I haven't played the
game in ages. Also, is the report of what happened to Cloud's town a
secret?

My point is, that once the game has been out long enugh, spoiler spaces
should not be required. Do you need to put spoiler spaces to say that
Bowser is the last boss of SMB?

Yeah, Sephiroth bit it too when he fell off after he saw that he had killed
Cloud. I don't know why he just fell off with a suprised look though.

Actually, I think its after they leave Cloud in the lifestream and meet
Weapon for the first time. Tifa collapses and remembers it.
Here's a point that my friend brought up though.

In the manual, and other statistic pages about FF7, they say Cloud's
twenty-one, but when Cloud meats Tifa in the train station, Cloud askes
"It's been four years right?" Tifa replies,
"No it was seven"
Back to Cloud's story told in Kalm, ...four years ago, I was sixteen
Did they mess up or what?

The story happened *five* years ago, so that is correct there.

And at the train station, IIRC, Tifa is actually referring to the last
time *she* saw Cloud, which was when Cloud announced at the well that he
was going to leave Nibelheim and join SOLDIER.

Conclusion? Sephiroth bites at the kill-the-heroes thing. He only managed
to kill someone after he was dead.
