I've played for a bit so far today. After heading to the only other area on the world map, the group fought their way through an abandoned mine. I thought it was neat how the three people I didn't pick were available halfway through. It was like they were out exploring on their own and not just randomly teleporting to wherever I was going. I also found some cute baby birds napping in a nest built around some treasure. I had the option of stealing the treasure, but my party was Tifa and Aeris and I'll be damned if I make Cloud look like a jerk in front of the ladies. They were both very proud of him for letting the chicks sleep peacefully. Aw yeah, Cloud just scored some major points!

The next town was in bad shape, and the people there blamed Barret for it. In a flashback, he advocated for the construction of a Mako reactor. Then Shinra blamed the townsfolk for an attack on it and slaughtered everyone. Barret blamed himself for it, but, like... how was he supposed to know Shinra was evil and would slaughter a whole town? That wasn't his fault. Still, he was in an understandably bad mood. Not even riding up to the Gold Saucer, a floating amusement park, could cheer him up. Barret got angry that we weren't busy looking for Sephiroth, and then he ran off. Despite that, Aeris argued that the group should have fun since they were there. Because she was the most eager to go, I decided to see the sights with her. I had to pay to get in, after all, and I may as well try to earn some of the park currency for prizes. I bet for bird #2 on the chocobo races, and then bird #2 pulled off a surprising win! I got second place wrong, though, so no prize for me. Nuts to this. I tried some games in Wonder Square too, but the only one I had any success at was a dead easy one where I fed Mog some kupo nuts so that he could find a mate.

In another area, I ran into a creature named Cait Sith. It introduced itself as a fortune telling machine, but I'm still not 100% sure what this thing is. Is the big thing the machine and the cat riding on it real? Are they both machines? Which is the one that's talking? I dunno, and I'm not sure it matters. His flimsy reasoning for joining the party is that he wants to see if his fortune comes true. And that fortune was that Cloud would find what he was looking for but lose something precious. That doesn't sound ominous at all! Time to go back to mindless fun! Riding the roller coaster was neat, but I sucked at the shooting minigame. I also took Aeris up on the ferris wheel, and it was neat looking out the window at all the unique sights. I was going to see if I could switch party members and then go up with everyone else too, but when I went up with Cait Sith he just stared blankly out the window and there wasn't much to it, so I decided not to waste my time. The inn here was a spooky haunted house for some reason. I liked Mr. Hangman flying down from above like a jumpscare.

The plot finally progressed again when I went through battle square and saw a bunch of dead people. The gang suspected Sephiroth, but their wounds were caused by a gun. They were afraid Barret might have gone off the deep end. Still, I believe he's innocent. Since the park owner had no reason to trust us, he declared my party guilty of the massacre and tossed everyone down a hole, which led to the desert below. The gang ran into Barret again, suspiciously standing over another corpse, but I still believe in you buddy! Sephiroth is probably out here with an uzi, and it's up to us to hunt him down.
