Gold Saucer - Meeting Cait Sith
Cloud and the others take the Ropeway from Corel up to Gold Saucer.
Chocobo Mascot
Welcome to the Gold Saucer.
Admissions Lady
Welcome to the Gold Saucer.
Are you together? A single pass is 3000 gil, or you can purchase a lifetime pass for 30000 gil.
Cloud
- Pay 3000 gil
- Pay 30000 gil
- Don't pay
- Pay 3000 gil
Admissions Lady
Thank you very much.
If you leave Gold Saucer, your tickets become invalid.
- Pay 30000 gil
Admissions Lady
Thank you very much.
If you have a Gold Ticket, you can come and go freely into the park... as long as you don't lose it.
Admissions Lady
Here at the Gold Saucer, there are many places where you must pay with GP.
Just think of 'GP' as money that you can only use at the Gold Saucer.
GP can only be redeemed at the games in Wonder Square and at the Chocobo Races.
Your GP limit is 10000, so please be careful.
Please enjoy yourselves.
Moving on through the entrance, they find themselves in the central hub of Gold Saucer, called the Station.
Aeris
Wow! Let's have fun!
I know this isn't the right time to do this.
Hey, Barret, cheer up!
Barret
......I ain't in no cheery mood. So jes' leave me alone.
Aeris
Really? That's too bad.
She runs back over to Cloud and grabs his arm.
Let's go!
Tifa
....whisper... whisper... (Wasn't that a little harsh, Aeris!?)
Aeris
...whisper... whisper... (Just act normal when this happens)
Tifa
...whisper... (You think so...?)
Aeris
Of course!
She runs back over to Barret.
We're gonna go play...
Barret
So PLAY! ...messin' round #@^%$!
Don't forget we're after Sephiroth!
He runs over and jumps down the tube leading to Wonder Square.
Aeris
...I think he's mad.
Tifa
He'll be fine. He seems to be doing a little better now.
Aeris
I wish we could just forget everything and have fun!
Tifa
We'd better be careful, Sephiroth might be around.
Red XIII
......You want to go with me?
Yuffie
With me!?
Cloud chooses one member of the group to accompany him, and they set off to explore Gold Saucer. At Chocobo Square... A bunch of Shinra soldiers are gathered on the steps.
Red XIII
What happened?
Yuffie
What is it?
Cloud
Sh...!
Shinra soldiers... Even here...
Soldier
Attention! Dismissed!!
The soldiers disperse, and after a moment Cloud heads up the stairs.
Man Betting
I... I lost...
Lady
Welcome to Chocobo Racing.
Man
You can only buy up to 3 tickets. Think before you buy. For example, you could select half of the Chocobos and buy 3 boxes.
Cloud
- Boxes?
- Not interested
Man
A box is buying 3 combinations of 2 chocobos.
Forexample, if you select Chocobo 1, 3, and 5, you can purchase combinations, such as 1-3, 1-5, 3-5.
You can also play the limited wheel by selecting a Chocobo.
Cloud
- Limited wheel?
- Not interested
Man
Playing a 'Limited wheel' means you select a Chocobo and use it in all of your combinations.
For example, if you have Chocobo 1, then you buy 1-2, 1-3, 1-4.
No matter how you make your bet, you win some and you lose some. It all comes down to insight and luck.
Security (near Jockey Lounge)
I'm sorry, but this is for authorized personnel only.
Blond Man
We usually buy tickets for the B rank and C rank races, right?
Cloud
- Rank?
- Not interested
Blond Man
In other words, 'rank' means the Chocobo's 'strength'. A is highest and C's the lowest.
When you become a Free Chocobo jockey, you'll be able to buy A rank tickets.
Of course, the higher the rank, the better your item ticket. Hey, maybe I'll become a Chocobo jockey!?
Cloud
- How DO you become one?
- Not interested
Blond Man
You can become one if you own a Chocobo... and have some connections. But Chocobo's are pretty hard to catch and I don't have any connections.
Woman
Hey, what's that Chocobo on the odds sheet?
Redhead
That's how you can find out a Chocobo's condition and strengths.
Woman
Hmm, If you can tell which ones are the strongest, then it's easy...
Redhead
Well, not as easy as you think. It's not just a matter of the Chocobo's strength,
but it also depends on the jockey and the Chocobo's personality.
If these are bad, they may use too much stamina, and affect other things.
Lady at the Ticket Desk
Welcome. Would you like to buy some Chocobo tickets?
Cloud
- Yeah
- Ask how to buy
- Explain it to me
- Not interested
- Yeah
Lady at the Ticket Desk
Registration fees are 200 gil. Is that all right?
Cloud
- Yeahhh!
- No way!
Lady at the Ticket Desk
Which rank would you like to select?
Cloud
- C (1BET 1 0 0 gil)
- B (1BET 2 0 0 gil)
- Quit
- Ask how to buy
Lady at the Ticket Desk
You are allowed a maximum of 3 bets on your Chocobo ticket.
- Explain it to me
Lady at the Ticket Desk
This Chocobo Race has Virtual devices on the course.
They show natural scenery during the race that really doesn't exist.
You pick which Chocobo will finish first and second here,
And then buy the appropriate tickets.
And if the ticket you purchased is a winner, you'll receive a ticket for an item that will be listed on the panel.
You can exchange your tickets for items or GP at the Exchange counter to the right of the entrance.
- Not interested
Nothing happens.
At Battle Square, there is a woman standing in front of the stairs.
Woman
I'm sorry, we're currently renovating. Please come again.
At Ghost Square, a zombie greets Cloud as he enters the hotel.
Zombie
Welcome. Thank you for coming to the Ghost Hotel.
Uuuuuuuuuuugh......
For reservations, please step up to the counter.
Uuuuuuuuuuugh......
Cloud steps up to the counter, and a man in a noose drops down with a scream.
Receptionist
It's our most popular employee, Mr. Hangman.
Mr. Hangman
Welcome!
It's 5 GP a night. Would you like to stay?
Cloud
- Yeah, all right
- No thanks

Forget the bad times with a nice drink...
Only thing missing in Gold Saucer is......
A pub with good drinks and a great atmosphere!
Stop in the "Turtle's Paradise"!
At Speed Square, a man addresses Cloud when he arrives.
Man
Hey boy.
Cloud
Boy...
Man
How is it? You having fun?
Mmm, so, you ARE having fun. Well, good, good for you boy.
Cloud
My name's Cloud. And stop calling me boy.
Dio
Mmm? Me? I'm the owner of the Gold Saucer. The name's Dio.
Just call me 'Dio'.
Cloud
...... (Not even listening)
Dio
By the way, boy, do you know what a 'Black Materia' is?
Cloud
- I know what it is
- What is it?
Cloud
Why d'you ask me?
Dio
Well, a while back, a boy your age came in and asked me if I had a 'Black Materia.'
I thought you might know who he was, seein' as how you're both about the same age.
Cloud
Did he happen to have... a Black Cape...
Dio
Why yes, yes indeed. And a tattoo on his hand that said '1'.
Cloud
Where did he go!?
Dio
Ha ha ha, I have no idea.
Well then.
I say, stop by the Battle Arena if you like, boy.
You'll probably like it. Many of my collections are on display there.
Ha, ha ha.
He leaves.
Person
We have to be careful of these steps.
What...? A lot of things...
Redhead
First, I gotta memorize the order it comes out, and then guess on the attacks...... mumble, mumble......
Onward to the roller coaster...
Lady
Hear the rules for this attraction?
Cloud
- Yes
- Not interested
Lady
This attraction, Shooting Coaster is
While your ride's going ZOOM, you're going BANG BANG, and things are going PHEW PHEW and you destroy them with a big BOOM. Pretty simple, isn't it?
Oh, to shoot, hit the O Button. And, the Bar that's shown on the left side of the screen is the Power Meter.
When it's full, it'll go BROOOOOM and when it's empty, it'll only go BRM and become weak. So be careful.
Also, if you're in the Top 3 you'll get on the Wall of Fame.
Man
Hey, I finally got 5000 points.
Girl
Wow!! You're so wonderful!!
Man
Man, I finally got a prize...
At Event Square...
Security
Sorry but there's no show now.
Man
We put on a really unusual show here. It's not on today, but come back again sometime and see it.
Couple
What's your problem? Can't you see we wanna be alone?
Couple 2
Geez, you're a real bummer. Why don't you just leave us alone?
At Wonder Square, Cloud and his companion are approached by a black cat toy riding a giant stuffed moogle.
Cait Sith
Hey you!! What're you lookin' so down for!?
How 'bout it? Want me to read your fortune!? A bright future! A happy future!
Oh, but don't hold it against me if it's not a great prediction!
Oh, so sorry! I'm a fortune telling machine. The name's...
Cait Sith.
Cloud
You can only read the future?
Cait Sith
You kidding!? I can find missing things, missing people, anything!
Cloud
Then can you tell me where a man named Sephiroth is?
Cait Sith
Sephiroth, right!?
Okay, here goes!!
He shakes about on his moogle, and it then hands Cloud a fortune.
Cloud
...Ordinary luck. It will be an active fortune.
Give into the good will of others, and something big'll happen after summer. ...wait... what's this?
Cait Sith
Huh? Let me try again.
Cloud
Be careful of forgetfulness. Your lucky color is... blue?
...Forget it.
Cait Sith
Wait, wait give me another chance!
Wait! Let me try it again!
Cloud
...What the!?
Aeris
What?
Tifa
What does it say?
Red XIII
Read it out loud, Cloud.
Yuffie
What is it! Tell us!
Cloud
What you pursue will be yours. But you will lose something dear.
Cait Sith
I don't know if it's good OR bad...
This's the first time I ever got something like THIS.
Then shall we?
Aeris
What are you talking about?
Tifa
Excuse me?
Red XIII
To where?
Yuffie
Huh?
Cait Sith
As a fortune teller, I can't help but think about this.
If I don't see what it leads to, I won't be able to relax. That's why I'm going with you!
Aeris
What are we going to do, Cloud?
Tifa
Is it all right, Cloud?
Red XIII
Cloud, it's all right with you?
Yuffie
He's weird! Cloud, don't let him come!
Cait Sith
I'm comin' with you no matter WHAT you say!
Cloud
H... hey!
Man in Overalls
They probably told you at the entrance, but most of the attractions at Gold Saucer only take 'GP'.
They don't sell GP. You can only get 'em from the Wonder Square games or at the Chocobo Races.
Chocobo Mascots
Let's get lotsa GP at Wonder Square and have some fun!
Kids
Yaaay!
Man
Come now, no running!
People Playing Wonder Catcher
All...... most......
Crap!
no cigar...
You sure do need a lot of money here.
Please...... don't...... talk to me...... right now.
I get so caught up in these......
Back there...
Guy on Motorcycle
Hyuuuuu, BAM, BAM, BAM...
Oh man, I just gotta shout.
Guy Snowboarding
Nope, I'm not quitting until I clear this!
I'm gonna be the wind again today!
Guy Near Submarine
Whew, I'm tired. Oh this? It seems to be out of order.
Guy Near Mog Game
...... Don't worry 'bout me. Go ahead and play.
Cloud plays Mog House.
Narration
This is Mog's house. It's in Mog Forest on Mt. Mog.
The beginning of another day in the life of a Mog.
This year, Mog is pipapopupo years old. ...that's 28 in human years. He's at that age when he should be looking for a mate.
But before Mog can become an adult, he first needs to learn how to fly.
Even though Mog trains hard everyday... He still can't seem to get off the ground...
Mog tries to fly and falls on his face.
Narration
Looks like he's still got a long way to go...
Here's where you come in. Help Mog learn how to fly by pushing O button and feeding him his favorite Kupo nut.
But don't overfeed him. He won't be able to fly if he's too fat.
You feed Mog Kupo nuts, and he hops up again.
Narration
Oh? It seems like Mog's decided to take another shot at it.
If you didn't feed him the right number, Mog falls flat on his face.
Narration
Poor Mog. It looks like he'll have to wait some time for a mate.
Poor Mog, seems like he'll be alone for a while.
Fortune Telling Machine

Use caution in relationships
Returning to Battle Square, Cloud and the others arrive to find a Shinra soldier standing in front of the stairs.
Cloud
!!
The soldier collapses, and Cloud goes over to investigate.
Cloud
Mm!?
Dead......
Aeris
What!? Why?
Tifa
What!?
Red XIII
What the...
Yuffie
Wh... why?
Cloud runs off up the stairs.
Aeris
Cloud!? Where are you going?
Tifa
Wa... wait Cloud!
Red XIII
Hey, Cloud!
Yuffie
Don't, don't just leave me!
The others follow him up to the battle arena, where dead soldiers lie all over the place.
Cloud
Did Sephiroth do this!?
No... it's not him... They're all shot... Sephiroth would never use a gun...
One of the Gold Saucer workers stirs.
Woman
Ugh, ugggh.
Cloud and the others run over to her.
Cloud
Hey, what happened!
Woman
Ugh... ugh... a man with a gun... on his arm......
Aeris
It can't be!?
Tifa
A gun on his arm!?
Red XIII
...did he!?
Yuffie
Wow, that's somethin!!
Security
Hold it right there! And stay quiet!!
Dio enters with two security guards.
Dio
Did you guys do this!?
Cloud
N... no, it wasn't us!
Cait Sith
Hurry and run, it's gonna get ugly.
He runs for the arena.
Cloud
He...... hey!
Dio
Hold them!
Cloud follows Cait into the arena.
Dio
That's as far as you go.
Cloud
Wait, listen to...
Cait Sith
Cloud...
Robots come at them from three sides, Dio blocking the way back out... The scene changes to where Cloud is being held by one of the robots. Before him is a hatch labeled "Gateway to heaven."
Dio
One more to go.
Security
Yes
Cloud
Hey! Pay attention!!
Dio
There's no need to listen. Pay for your crime down below!!
Do it!
Security
Yes
The hatch opens, and the robot jumps in, carrying Cloud with it.
