Release 1.00 9-5-99
Welcome to the very first release of the Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough
in .txt format. In this release I've only gotten the first parts down.
*****

$ - Part 1 - A New Game
   Okay, now those of you who've played previous Square RPGs might want
to just skip this part. This is for first time RPG gamers. Okay, to
begin you can select New Game (If you didn't realize this then I'll be
surprised if you pass the beginning). Okay, after the opening cinema
you will be immersed into the world of Final Fantasy. Now first walk
over to the fallen guard to your right and push "O" to get a Potion. 
You can get 2 potions from this guard. After that head up, two more 
guards will attack you, fight them. Just stick to regular attacks until
much later in the game. After the battle you'll reach experience level
7. Now continue on the way following your group. You'll eventually make
it into the actual reactor. Inside Barret will join your party so you
can use him in fights now. Talk to Wedge and then Jessie to get the 
doors open and head over to the elevator. Take the elevator down to the
reactor core. On the way you'll find a save point, save here and
continue until you get to the core. Here Cloud will plant a bomb to
blow it up. ^Boss^ - After Cloud plants the bomb you have to fight a
boss. On Cloud go to the Magic command and select Lighting and use it
on the boss. After defeating the boss you'll have to make an escape. 
With only 10 minutes make it snappy. Make sure you talk to Jessie or
you'll get blown to bits 'cause she's stuck and she is the only one who
can open one of the locked doors on the floor above.
