Transportation
There are quite a few modes of transportation found in Final fantasy VII. On top of the now infamous Chocobo, you will see
things like submarines, motorcycles, and even a Snowboard. It should be noted that certain vehicles are limited to a certain
area, or point in the game.
|
Chocobo's |
| When you first met the Chocobo's back in Final Fantasy II, I told you to be patient,
and Chocobo's would take off. Well, here we are! No longer are these birds simply a mode of transportation....that is only
the beginning! |
 |
Cargo Ship |
The Cargo Ship is Shinra's boat, that takes you from Junon to Costa Del Sol. It
also can bring you back, if you need to.
After you go to the Northern Crater on Disk 2, the Cargo ship becomes unavailable. This is most likely because of the attacks
from Sapphire WEAPON. |
 |
Buggy |
You recieve your Buggy, after your name is cleared in the Gold Saucer.
The Buggy
can cross all terrain but mountains, and can cross shallow water. You can also cross the ocean, by driving into Costa Del
Sol. (Do not get out of the Buggy, just drive right into town) Once you cross the ocean and leave Junon, you will hit the
world map in your Buggy. This will give you early access to the Sleeping Man. |
 |
Tiny Bronco |
| This is Cid's beauty of a plane....Until Shinra shoots it out of the sky that is.
Though it cannot fly, it can travel the shallow waters of the ocean and rivers. You can only land at beaches, but there is
very few places you cannot go. |
 |
Highwind |
| The Highwind is gotten after your escape from Junon. The Highwind can go anywhere
in the world, but you can only land in grassy plains. |
 |
Shinra Submarine |
| The Shinra Sub is acquired after you shoot the sub with the Huge Materia down. If
you fail to shoot down the sub, you are able to return to the docks, fight the guards, and get one for yourself. The sub can
take you anywhere under the Junon Ocean. Be warned...There is a WEAPON down here, and if you are not careful, you will initiate
a battle with him. If you are not properly prepared, he will smear you across the floor! |
Other Transportation
 |
Hardy Datona |
| This is the cycle Cloud rides during the escape from Midgar. It is also used in
the Gold Saucer mini game of the same sequence. Other than that, you do not get to use this wonderful Bike. |
 |
Car |
| This is the vehicle that the remaining party uses to escape Midgar. It, unfortunately
is not used any other time in the game. It should be noted that there are other vehicles similar to it in the game. One is
found in Nibelheim, and the other is used by the guy giving Zach and Cloud a ride to Midgar, in Clouds flashback. |
 |
Snowboard |
| The Snowboard is used to get from Icicle Inn to the Great Glacier in the north.
It is also used in the Gold Saucer mini game. There is no other use for it in this game though. |
