Chapter 6

A Tropical Distraction: Fun in the Sun Goes Awry

Basking in the warm shores of Costa del Sol, Cloud yearns for relaxation after harrowing sea voyages. But securing lodgings proves challenging among bustling crowds. Just as hope fades, a familiar face generously shelters the group.

Eager to hit the beach, Cloud trades for festive swimwear at a lively carnival. After besting pirates and cards, he finally gains access to the sun-kissed sands. Yet trouble brews when a sinister scientist unleashes monsters on the beachgoers!

Faced with impossible odds alone, Cloud fights for his life against the mammoth grasptropod. At the last second, spunky ninja Yuffie zooms to the rescue! Together they force the vile beast into retreat.

As the dust settles, Cloud soaks up soothing moments with friends new and old. But duty calls once more, cutting their beach vacation short. Adventure summons on the horizon – the snowy peaks of Mt. Corel await! Cloud packs up his surfboard, bidding the tropical shores farewell…for now.

Chapter 7: A Troubled Homecoming

Follow the expanded party, now including Yuffie, as they pursue mysterious hooded figures towards Mt. Corel. The journey involves traversing picturesque landscapes, engaging in battles, and gathering resources. Along the way, the group faces a challenging boss fight against the Custom Valkyrie and briefly shifts focus to Zack, a character absent since the beginning of the game.

As the party reunites and progresses through the Corel Mako Reactor and Coal Mines, Yuffie’s unique abilities prove crucial in navigating the complex environment and solving puzzles. The group encounters various obstacles, enemies, and treasures before finally lowering a bridge and discovering North Corel, Barret’s former home. There, they face the townspeople’s hostility and uncover the reason behind Barret’s mistreatment, bringing the chapter to a close and setting the stage for the next installment in their journey.
