Gold Saucer nhìn từ bên ngoài
Gold Saucer nhìn từ World Map
Gold Saucer trong Final Fantasy VII là một trung tâm giải trí hình tháp, được xây dựng ở khu phế tích Corel và điều hành bởi Tập đoàn Shinra. Cait Sith joins the player party during the first visit.
The games in the Gold Saucer do not use Gil, but GP (Gold Point) as a currency. Gold Saucer is divided up into seven attractions, most of which consist of minigames.
During the second visit, one of four characters can become the date of Cloud Strife based upon a hidden "Affection Value" of Date Mechanics.
Locations[]
Entrance[]
Gold Saucer can only be reached via a free cable car from North Corel. There is a Save Point here, but it requires 5 GP to use. The entrance fee of the park is 3,000 gil, but a lifetime pass can be bought for 30,000 gil. A man outside the park will exchange 1 GP for 100 Gil, to a maximum of 100 GP for 10,000 gil, but he appears very rarely.
Station[]
The station is the main hub of locations in the center of Gold Saucer. From here, a map can be viewed that shows the location of each square in relation to the shape of Gold Saucer.
Speed Square[]
A minigame in the Gold Saucer. It costs 10 GP to play, and has the player controlling a moving turret which fires at a variety of objects to earn points. Prizes are awarded depending on how many points the player accumulates throughout the Speed Run. The prizes differ depending on which disc the player is currently on. The prizes go as follow, (note that weapons can only be won once):
| Score | Prize |
| 3,000-4,999 | 1/35 SOLDIER/Super Sweeper/Masamune Blade |
| 5,000+ | Umbrella (Disc 1) |
| 5,000+ | Flayer (Disc 2/3) |
Battle Square[]
- Bài viết chính: Battle Square
During the game's storyline Dyne goes on a rampage at the Battle Square and murders several Gold Saucer employees. Cloud and his party are captured and dropped into Corel Prison shortly afterward.
The Battle Square has one of the more useful minigames in the entirety of the theme park. In exchange for 10 GP the receptionist will allow one of the three characters to fight in the Battle Arena. The character has to fight through eight consecutive battles with steadily harder groups of monsters. After each turn the player turns a slot and receives one of the handicaps that are on the reels (though items such as Ribbons can prevent these effects). For each fight won, the player receives BP (Battle Points). These can be exchanged for prizes at the counter.
Chocobo Square[]
Cloud riding a Chocobo in the Chocobo Races

When leaving Corel Prison, Cloud must win a Chocobo Race. The player can then bet on chocobos.
Later in the game, the player can bring their own chocobos to race. There are four ranks: C, B, A, and S, and each rank has stronger opponents. Racing is a vital part of Chocobo Breeding. Upon winning the race the player wins an item, which they can take or exchange for GP. The items available at S rank include Megalixirs, rare Materia, Hero Drinks, and some items that can only be acquired at the Gold Saucer like the Cat's Bell. This is the best place to quickly earn GP, provided the player's chocobo is fast enough.
The player might encounter the famous chocobo jockey Joe and his black chocobo Teioh and race against them on the track.
Ghost Square[]
The Ghost Square
Ghost Square serves as an Inn that costs 5 GP a night, and it has an item shop that uses Gil. It is here that Cloud's date (either Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie, or Barret) picks him up on date night. Turtle's Paradise flyer #3 is also found in the hotel.

Event Square[]
Event Square
There is nothing to do here during regular visits to Gold Saucer. However, during the storyline Cloud will take his chosen date to watch a play. Since they are the 100th couple that night they are chosen to take part on the stage (unless it's with Barret, in which case the play is skipped entirely). Depending upon the player's choices for Cloud's lines the play can either go well or be ruined.
In the play, Princess Rosa (the date) is kidnapped by the Evil Dragon King Valvados. The hero Alfred (Cloud) is found by a Knight, who has him speak to the King. The King in turn tells Alfred to speak to someone who can help him, and a Wizard appears. The player can speak to either the Wizard or the Knight. If they speak to the Wizard, they can ask for Valvados's weakness, or "the Princess' measurements". If the player speaks to the Knight, they can ask for help defeating Valvados, or help defeating the King. Then, Valvados carries the date onto the stage, and demands Cloud name his enemy - the player can either name the Knight, the King, or Valvados.
If the player goes along with the play, Cloud kisses his date's hand and the power of their love defeats Valvados. If the player messes up, the date becomes outraged and attacks Cloud and then the dragon. Depending on their actions, and their choice of date, the player can also get a variety of other outcomes, including one in which Valvados is revealed to be a princess afflicted by a curse.
Round Square[]
Tifa is the date this time
During date night Cloud and his date share a tender moment on the gondola ride. Cloud can also ride the gondola at any other time with any other party member.

This is the place where the party originally meets Cait Sith. He is posing as a fortune teller and gives Cloud a fortune foretelling doom to something he cherishes. Later the party can play various minigames at Wonder Square to win GP.

The music that plays here is simply called "Gold Saucer."
