Should you run into the Midgar Zolom when you first venture outside in Final Fantasy VII, you’re as good as dead. Only by riding a chocobo can you cross its territory in pursuit of Sephiroth. But when you do traverse the marshes, a shocking sight awaits – the giant serpent impaled on a split tree, apparently slain by your nemesis, a sign of his incredible power. Message received and understood.
There’s no getting around that in this episode is fumbled, taking you through the process of securing a chocobo and navigating the marsh only tocan’t resist an opportunity for a boss fight.
