Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough

1.8: Follow That Cart!

Follow Aeris up and over to Wall Market, which is the slummiest of the slums. Talk to everyone to learn more information about Tifa. If you manage to make your way to the very top, Aeris starts giggling, and formulates a rather interesting plan.

If your aim is to have Cloud picked (or just want more detailed information about the whole process), you'll want to enable spoilers. Otherwise, the immediately following gets you through this section with the least effort required.

There's some preparation required to get any character selected, and to start, you need a dress. Find the shop, talk to the dressmaker, then talk to her father in the bar. Once he's talked with you, talk to the dressmaker again. Her father, inspired by the unusual request, makes a dress for Cloud. Once done, go to the gym and do a squat contest to win a wig.

You actually can get into the lower Honey Bee Inn too, if you want, by talking to the man outside the lower Honey Bee Inn area. He gives you a pass, and you can then talk to the man at the gate to get in.

Present your party to Don Corneo, who will pick one of you to...well, you can guess. Sometimes Aeris gets picked, but it's usually Tifa if you didn’t get into the Honey Bee Inn, or choose the correct items. Fight your way out of the room you're in. Don't forget the Phoenix Down in the corner of the room. Talk to Scotch if you can't get anywhere.

Go down to the room you were in, if Tifa was picked, to rescue Aeris. Otherwise, Tifa comes up on her own. Go to the middle room behind the curtain, and have a conversation with Corneo.
