==Behind the scenes== [[File:Sector 1 reactor.png|thumb|Cloud's ominous message.]] When developing ''Final Fantasy VII'', there was an unspoken rule that the developers could not go home until they had created a smooth transition from the opening cutscene to the battle at Mako Reactor 1 Station. As a result, the station reappeared in [[Motomu Toriyama]]'s dreams often. When remaking it for ''Final Fantasy VII Remake'', the steam ffrom the locomotive was used as a transition leading to when the player takes control.<ref name="material ultimania p114"/> During "No. 1 Reactor Bombing" in ''Final Fantasy VII'' Cloud has a moment where he breaks down and hears a voice that says, "This isn't just a reactor". In a scene that was scrapped from the final version of the game, Cloud would have had a conversation with [[Sephiroth]] where the latter would have explained what Mako Reactors really are. The "This isn't just a reactor" memory is a remnant of this deleted scene. The PC port had a bug that occurred intermittently to crash the game at the start of the game as the train pulls into the station and an Avalanche member kicks a soldier. QA reported this bug as the port was being finalized, and all the programmers were scrambling to reprogram and debug it.<ref>[[#Fenlon 2017|Fenlon 2017]]</ref> When designing the Mako Reactor 1 Station, scenario coordinator Manami Oishi thought hard about the map names to think of practical directions for commuters on their way to work.<ref name="material ultimania p114"/> <gallery> FFVII PG Bombing Mission.png|Early Mako Reactor 1 Station in ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Perfect Guide]]''.
