I remember looking the safe combination up and including it in my notes, and referencing it every time. And the Huge Materia combo coz I can never figure it out especially with Cid repeating the same hints, and Bahamut Zero is pretty awesome.

Well, it wouldn't let me play the piano as Tifa, only Cloud. After I got Cloud back I played the piano but all I got was 1 gil. I went to Shinra Mansion to get the Zack death flashback for the first time, in case that needed to be seen first. Returned and played the piano again... Only 1 gil.

Did you nit found it is only available later? As in, while she is the leader or something like that?

Yes, I thought when she was party leader that would be the time but it wouldn't work, even though it's her house (or an exact reconstruction) she can't play the piano.

And I assumed that by "later" you meant after Lifestream, and maybe after viewing the Zack death flashback. I don't know what Magemasher did differently. Maybe this version removed it.

It says in the page.... Wait a minute

"Tifa's Final Heaven manual is discovered once Cloud returns to the party after "Searching for the You of That Day". The player must enter Tifa's House in Nibelheim with Tifa in the party, and play the piano."

What is Searching for the You of That Day? Is that the whole Lifestream thing? And yes, Tifa was in the party. I always have her in the party when possible. Plus I know it wouldn't make sense not to have her in there when I go for her final Limit Break.

Yes, after the Mideel thing

So I should have been able to get it already. I must have played it right coz I did get a response from it, but only 1 gil.
