Geocache Description:

To celebrate the announcement at E3 2015, that Final Fantasy VII is to be remade for its 20th anniversary, I’ve made up a little mystery cache.

Answer the questions below to find the co-ordinates.

As with most mystery caches, the cache is not at the given location. When retrieving the cache, please bring your own pen and replace the cache exactly where you found it. You are looking for a camo tube container. 


A.

One of the most popular sound tracks of the Final Fantasy series, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, is played during the final boss battle of Final Fantasy VII against Safer∙Sephiroth, who has six white wings where his legs should be and a grotesque black wing where his right arm should be.

There is a number in the name of this sound track. Use this number as (A) in your co-ordinates.

 

B.

Limit Breaks are skillsets unique to each party member in Final Fantasy VII. Each character has a Limit gauge which fills as the character angers as they are attacked by opponents. When the gauge is filled, it will flash with a pink battle message: "LIMIT BREAK"

Each character has a certain amount of Limit Levels. Each level contains two Limit Breaks apart from the highest level where there is only one 

(With the exception of Cait Sith) What is the highest limit break level each character can reach? Use this number as (B) in your co-ordinates.

 

C.

There is a well known  bar and restaurant owned and run by Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy VII; serving as a home base for many of the games' main characters.

The bar has had two locations. The original, located in Midgar slums is destroyed along with the rest of the sector. A new bar was later built in the city of Edge after the fall of Meteor.

There is a number in the name of this bar. Use this number as (C) in your co-ordinates.

 

D.

It’s nearly twenty years since the original release date of Final Fantasy VII.  It is the seventh installment in the Final Fantasy series and the game is the first in the series to use 3D computer graphics, featuring fully rendered characters on pre-rendered backgrounds, and was the first game in the main series to be released in Europe.

The original release date was January 31, 199X. Use the number which would be ‘X’ as (D) in your co-ordinates.

 

E.

The Final Fantasy VII remake will use a more modern art style for Cloud, similar to his appearance in Dissidia Final Fantasy or Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It is being created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII.

Square Enix are developing the Final Fantasy VII remake initially for what console/platform? Use the number in the name of the platform as (E) in your co-ordinates.

 

F.

In Final Fantasy VII there are several species of Bahamut, which Professor Hojo refers to as "Bahamut strains". In Final Fantasy VII, the Bahamut strains appearing are Bahamut, Neo Bahamut Bahamut Fury, Bahamut SIN and Bahamut _____.

However, only three of these strains can be obtained as a summon from materia… Bahamut, Neo Bahamut and Bahamut _____ .

The final strain of Bahamut has a number in its title. Use this as (F) in your co-ordinates.

 

G. 

Midgar is the capital city and power base of the Shinra Electric Power Company in the world of Final Fantasy VII.

Midgar was the most technologically advanced location ever constructed on the planet of Gaia. It consists of a large circular structure supported above the ground by reactors and a central pillar.

The reactors are machines built to forcibly extract the Lifestream from the earth and process it into Mako energy.

How many MAKO reactors are there in Midgar? Use this as (G) in your co-ordinates.

 

H.

At the start of the game, Cloud's first mission with AVALANCHE is to blow up one of Midgar’s Sectors Reactors.

In which Sector does this take place? Use this number as (H) in your co-ordinates.

 

I.

A playable character is a character one controls in a video game. In Final Fantasy, and in most RPGs, the player is usually given a large cast of playable characters, but can only control a few at a time.

How many playable characters are there in Final Fantasy VII (this would include the two ‘optional’ characters)?  Use this number as (I) in your co-ordinates.

 

J.

Weapons are creatures that appear in several of the Final Fantasy games. Monstrously powerful, they are usually some of the toughest bosses in their respective games. Common variants include the Ultima Weapon and the usually more powerful Omega Weapon.

The Weapons, also known as the WEAPON, are powerful monsters in the world of Final Fantasy VII. Created to defeat Jenova, the Weapons are massive bio-mechanical engines of destruction designed to protect the Planet.

The Weapons play a vital role in the Final Fantasy VII storyline.

How many weapons are in the extended universe of Final Fantasy VII? Use this number as (J) in your co-ordinates.
