Gold Saucer

    The approach to Gold Saucer is something you don't want to miss.  This giant amusement park/casino has everything.  Inside you can bet on Chocobo Races, fight in the Battle Arena, visit the Ghost Hotel, play at the arcade, and even participate in a stage play.  There is one small catch - admission to the park is a whopping 3000 Gil for a one-day pass, or 30,000 Gil for a lifetime pass.  For now you'll probably only be able to afford the one-day pass, but you'll want to pick up a lifetime pass at some point.

Note:

        There are two things you should know about the entrance to the Gold Saucer.  First, it costs 5 GP (not Gil) to use the save point.  Second, you can occasionally purchase GP from a man who hides in the hut behind the Ropeway car.  He'll sell you 1 GP for 100 Gil.  He's not there each time you enter the Gold Saucer, but once you have a lifetime pass you can run in and out of the entrance until he appears.

    Most of the attractions here use GP instead of Gil.  You can win GP at the Chocobo Races and at Wonder Square.  Just remember that GP is useless outside of the Gold Saucer, so it's a really bad idea to convert your entire fortune into GP.

Note:

        If you'd like specific information on the carious rides and attractions at the Gold Saucer, refer to the Gold Saucer section in the Side Area Section. 

    It looks like everyone-well, almost everyone- is up for a little fun.  Pick your partner and explore the park.

    First, you should visit Speed Square.  Here you'll meet Dio, the owner of the Gold Saucer.  Dio mentions that someone wearing a black cape with the number 1 tattooed on it came through earlier asking about a Black Materia.  It sounds like Sephiroth was here, but he's probably already left.

    Next, stop by Wonder Square.  Here you'll meet a rather poor fortune teller named Cait Sith.  He'll give you a fortune, and then join your party to see if his predictions come true.  After the concounter, you can enter the arcade and mess around, or you can head over to Battle Square.

    What's this?  A dead Shinra soldier lays on the steps to the entrance of the Battle Arena.  Inside it's more of the same.   Who could have done a such a thing?  The bodies are riddled with bullet holes.   No...it couldn't be.  Barret was mad, but not THAT mad.

    Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Dio walks in and the next thing you know, the team is getting thrown out of the Gold Saucer for a crime they didn't commit.
