That Iconic Wall Market Theme

Описание: The mission is on, but first... we need a dress.

In Episode 5 of our Final Fantasy VII (1997) Retrospective, we leave the sanctuary of Aerith’s home and head straight into the neon-lit heart of the Midgar Slums: Wall Market. This isn't your typical rescue mission. To save Tifa from the clutches of the lecherous Don Corneo, Cloud has to hang up the Buster Sword (temporarily) and navigate the lawless streets of Sector 6. We’re breaking down one of the most iconic, bizarre, and memorable sequences in RPG history.

In this episode:

The Road to Sector 7: Cloud and Aerith’s journey through the rusted outskirts and the quiet moment at the playground.

The Wall Market Ecosystem: Exploring how this lawless zone felt alive even in the 32-bit era.

The Squat-Off: A deep dive into the infamous gym mini-game and the quest for the "Beautiful Wig."

The Transformation: Cloud’s legendary undercover operation and why this "cross-dressing" quest remains a masterclass in 90s game design.

Featuring the Echo-S voice mod, we bring new life to these classic interactions while staying true to the original PS1 lore and atmosphere.

Join the journey as we infiltrate Corneo’s Mansion. Will Cloud be chosen? Let's find out.
