TRANSPORT

In the world of Final Fantasy VII there are many different modes of transport, come of which are controllable and others that are not. Here is a list of the transport and where to obtain them from, if it is possible.

The motorcycle (Hardy Daytona) in final fantasy is used when Cloud and the others escape the Shinra building, that is the only time that you can use this mode of transport. Although you can ride it again in the Gold Saucer on the motor bike game.

Chocobos can be used to move around the world map without entering constant battles, they are also a lot quicker than moving on foot. Chocobos can also be used to access areas of the world map that are otherwise inaccessible, although to do this you need to be riding the right coloured chocobo. They can be captured on the many chocobo tracks around the world, you can also breed them at the chocobo ranch, this is the only way to get and colour other than yellow. For more information on chocobo breeding click here.

The Tiny Bronco is damaged while Cloud and the others try to escape Rocket Town and as a result is unable to fly. However it crash lands in the ocean and stays afloat, meaning that it can be used like a boat to move from island to island. Unfortunately the Tiny Bronco is limited in its use as it can only move around in the shallows and as a result can not get to some parts of the world. The Tiny Bronco is acquired when it is stolen from Rocket town by Cloud.

The Submarine is the only way to access the underwater areas of the game such as the downed plane. It is vital to the game and is acquired after the submarine mission at the underwater reactor. It can be left in the harbour areas around the central body of water, however it can not leave this body of water.

The Buggy is given to you by Dio as an apology when he releases you from Corel Prison. it can be used to cross rivers at the shallows allowing you to access areas you cant on foot or yellow chocobo. The buggy can also be taken on the cargo ship allowing early access to the Sleeping Man.

The cargo ship is the only way to cross the ocean for most of disc 1. It can not be controlled and will just cross from Junon Harbour to Costa Del Sol.

As with the motor cycle the truck (SA-37) is used to escape the Shinra building in Midgar, it can not be controlled and the escape is the only time the cast will ride on one.

The Highwind, the best form of transport on the game. You first see it at Junon Harbour on disc one however you have to wait until the weapons attack before you can posses this wonderful machine. it is capable of going almost anywhere on the world map, however can not be landed on forests, sand, rocks or snow. You can transport chocobos on the Highwind as there is an onboard stable.

Trains can not be controlled or owned by Cloud and the group but feature on multiple ocassions.

There are other modes of transport that cannot be used. here are pics of them.
