Final Fantasy VII Transportation

There are quite a few modes of transportation found in Final fantasy VII. On top of the now infamous Chocobo, you will see things like submarines, motorcycles, and even a Snowboard. It should be noted that certain vehicles are limited to a certain area, or point in the game.

	Chocobo's
	When you first met the Chocobo's back in Final Fantasy II, I told you to be patient, and Chocobo's would take off. Well, here we are! No longer are these birds simply a mode of transportation....that is only the beginning!

	Cargo Ship
	The Cargo Ship is Shinra's boat, that takes you from Junon to Costa Del Sol. It also can bring you back, if you need to. After you go to the Northern Crater on Disk 2, the Cargo ship becomes unavailable. This is most likely because of the attacks from Sapphire WEAPON.

	Buggy
	You recieve your Buggy, after your name is cleared in the Gold Saucer. The Buggy can cross all terrain but mountains, and can cross shallow water. You can also cross the ocean, by driving into Costa Del Sol. (Do not get out of the Buggy, just drive right into town) Once you cross the ocean and leave Junon, you will hit the world map in your Buggy. This will give you early access to the Sleeping Man.

	Tiny Bronco
	This is Cid's beauty of a plane....Until Shinra shoots it out of the sky that is. Though it cannot fly, it can travel the shallow waters of the ocean and rivers. You can only land at beaches, but there is very few places you cannot go.

	Highwind
	The Highwind is gotten after your escape from Junon. The Highwind can go anywhere in the world, but you can only land in grassy plains.

	Shinra Submarine
	The Shinra Sub is acquired after you shoot the sub with the Huge Materia down. If you fail to shoot down the sub, you are able to return to the docks, fight the guards, and get one for yourself. The sub can take you anywhere under the Junon Ocean. Be warned...There is a WEAPON down here, and if you are not careful, you will initiate a battle with him. If you are not properly prepared, he will smear you across the floor!

Other Transportation

	Hardy Datona
	This is the cycle Cloud rides during the escape from Midgar. It is also used in the Gold Saucer mini game of the same sequence. Other than that, you do not get to use this wonderful Bike.

	Car
	This is the vehicle that the remaining party uses to escape Midgar. It, unfortunately is not used any other time in the game. It should be noted that there are other vehicles similar to it in the game. One is found in Nibelheim, and the other is used by the guy giving Zach and Cloud a ride to Midgar, in Clouds flashback.

	Snowboard
	The Snowboard is used to get from Icicle Inn to the Great Glacier in the north. It is also used in the Gold Saucer mini game. There is no other use for it in this game though.
