Template:Sideicon Sector 6 is one of the eight sectors that make up Midgar in Final Fantasy VII. It is under the Shinra Electric Power Company's control. Like every sector of the metropolis, it is composed of both Slums and Plate sections, although only the Slums section is visited in the games.
The most notable locations of the area are the Evergreen Park (みどり公園, Midori Kōen?) and Wall Market.
Story
Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Park in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-.
Zack Fair meets Aerith Gainsborough in Sector 5 Slums Church and later the two spend time in the Sector 6 park where the two discuss SOLDIER and its members' extraordinary powers. Aerith lets Zack know she is wary of SOLDIER, and gets embarrassed when Zack says he is part of the organization. Aerith reveals she is afraid of the sky, but thinks Zack's eyes have a glow in them that resembles it, only it's less frightening to her. Their time is cut short when Zack receives orders to return to the Shinra Headquarters.
Later on Zack builds various flower carts for Aerith to sell flowers in the park, although this does not work out well.
Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-
Much of the Sector 6 plate is obliterated in the aftermath of the Turks' battle with Zirconiade.
Final Fantasy VII
Park before plate's fall.
Sector 6 is the last unfinished sector, its plate either having never been completed before the battle with Zirconiade, or requiring extensive reconstruction. A massive gouge is apparent on the scale model of the plate in Shinra Headquarters.
Much of the Sector 6 slums, bar Wall Market, are in a state of ruin, with monsters running rampant and large chunks of debris littering the ground. When Cloud Strife is trying to find his way to Sector 7, Aeris sets to help him. They cross the debris and find themselves in the park, where Aeris wants to take a break.
She reminisces of her time with Zack, and tells Cloud about him. The gate to Sector 7 opens and a chocobo cart emerges with Tifa Lockhart onboard. Recognizing her, Cloud calls out to her, but she does not respond. Aeris and Cloud follow her to Wall Market, although Cloud tries to make Aeris return home.
Sector 6 remains relatively unscathed by the fall of Sector 7 plate, only the park being heavily damaged. Having barely escaped Sector 7 in a nick of time, Barret, Tifa and Cloud organize themselves at the park. Barret mourns for his friends, Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie, and his daughter Marlene. Tifa tells him Aeris has taken Marlene to safety, and the trio leaves the park to look for her.
Sector 6, along with the rest of Midgar, is destroyed by Meteor.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
In Final Fantasy VII Remake, it is explained that the Sector 6 suffered a similar disaster to the one that Shinra later inflicts on Sector 7, with the upper plate having fallen on it. The area was under construction at the time and few people were living there, hence there were few casualties. Never rebuilt, the sector has become a lawless area home to bandits and abandoned machinery. Strewn throughout are several mechanical hand cranes for the moving of crates, which Cloud and Aerith employ to travel through the sector.
Geography
Overview
As with the other Midgar Slums, the Sector 6 slums is home to residents in shanty homes, is filled with abandoned construction sites, is infested with monsters, and has very little vegetation. However, the slums are relatively emptier with a smaller population, and no residential area as is seen in the Sector 5 Slums or Sector 7 Slums.
The main hub of the Sector 6 Slums is Wall Market, a lawless entertainment center walled in on all sides. Another major attraction is the Evergreen Park, a playground frequented by Aerith that is adjacent to a path to the Sector 7 Slums. The slum is also notable for its Collapsed Expressway, in which monsters dwell within the abandoned crashed road. Beneath the slums, a sewer system connects Sector 6 with the Sector 7 plate.
Collapsed Expressway
Collapsed Expressway.
The Collapsed Expressway is a heavily damaged road close to the Sector 5 Slums, that is filled with abandoned construction material. The expressway is an abandoned construction site, that has become a home for monsters and a hideout for criminals. It can only be navigated through its tunnels, wooden ladders, and using old construction technology, the most notable of which are large robot hands.
Evergreen Park
Evergreen Park.
The Evergreen Park is the site of a playground wth a swing, slide, and tunnel, frequented by Aerith. It is located in front of a gate from the Sector 7 Slums as well as a road leading east to Wall Market. In contrast to its name, the park is mostly concrete and seems to have few visitors.
Wall Market
Wall Market
The most notable point of interest in the Sector 6 slums, Wall Market is an entertainment quarter and a shopping center that is walled in on all sides, ran by Don Corneo and his subordinates. The market is home to the Honeybee Inn, Corneo's mansion, as well as many attractions including diners, a boutique, a gym, and stores.
Wall Market is also adjacent to a wall that can be climbed to reach the plate above the slums of Sector 6.
Sewers
The sewers of Sector 6 are located beneath Wall Market, and connect Sector 6 to the Train Graveyard of the Sector 7 Slums.
Gameplay
Final Fantasy VII
Sector 6.
Sector 6 is first visited by a party of Cloud and Aeris during "The Woman at the Church" as they travel through the sector in order to return Cloud to Sector 7. It is later revisited in "Aeris's Secret" by a party of Cloud, Barret, and Tifa while they travel through to Aerith's house in Sector 5.
The map comprises only three screens: the Collapsed Expressway linked to the Sector 5 Slum, the Evergreen Park, and a road from the park on the way to Wall Market, the main attraction of Sector 6. Enemies are fought in the collapsed expressway in the form of the Whole Eater and Hell House, but the map itself has little that is noteworthy.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Crane minigame in the Collapsed Expressway.
The Sector 6 Slums has a similar role: it is visited by a party of Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough during Chapter 9, "The Town That Never Sleeps," as Aerith escorts Cloud to Sector 7, and later revisited by a party of Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, and Barret Wallace in Chapter 13, "A Broken World," as they travel to Aerith's house. Sidequests also take place through the Sector 6 Slums in Chapter 8 as well as Chapter 14, "In Search of Hope."
The Sector 6 Slums is greatly expanded in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Where the Collapsed Expressway was once the only road from Sector 5 to the Evergreen Park, a new road simply named the S6-5 road connects Sector 5 directly to Wall Market, and the Collapsed Expressway is a detour from this road that bypasses Wall Market to lead straight to the Evergreen Park. The Collapsed Expressway is also greatly expanded in length, includes a minigame in which the robot arm must be operated to move Aerith to reach higher places, and has different enemies fought there, both monsters and also bandits, and the playground in the Evergreen Park can be interacted with.
