its really cool how before going up the stairs cloud says to pace yourself. So if you sprint the beginning of the stairs, you will start to slow down farther in, but if you walk at the beginning you can sprint later into the climb.

Also, not gonna lie, I find myself feeling bad for Tifa when she gets pressured or persuaded by Barret into the more extreme actions.

I just keep saying in my head "save her, Cloud!"

In their defense, Cloud is carrying a gigantic meat cleaver and Barret probably weighs double what Tifa does at least not to mention a heavy machine gun on his arm.
