This is video #026 in my Final Fantasy VII playthrough. The party arrives on floor 68F of Shinra Headquarters to find Hojo about to perform a sadistic experiment. Barret frees Aeris and the canine creature from the sample chamber, but it seems that another, more ferocious specimen is on its way up.

When Cloud considers who will keep Aeris safe, there is another opportunity to manipulate affection points. Sending Tifa to take care of her will decrease Tifa's affection score, predictably. Sending Barret to take care of her will raise Barret's affection score. If you want to date Yuffie, tell Tifa to take care of Aeris. If you want to date Barret or Tifa, tell Barret to take care of Aeris. As for Aeris, it is safer to tell Tifa to take care of her, but you can go either way.

Next up is Sample:HO512 and its Sample:HO512-opts. Ignore the Opts and blast HO512 with Fire and/or Ice. The boss resists Lightning-based damage. Do not use Bio because HO512 absorbs Poison-based damage. If Barret is in the party, his long-range attacks will be useful here, too. HO512 will use Shady Breath, which inflicts Poison on all party members, so put a Star Pendant on someone. Don't waste your Antidotes; just use Cure to keep allies healed up.

When the battle is over, you can choose your party. Again, there is the opportunity to manipulate affection points. If Barret, Tifa, or Aeris is in the party, he or she will gain two affection points. If you want to date Barret or Yuffie, have a party of Barret and Red XIII. If you want to date Tifa, have a party of Tifa and Red XIII or Barret. If you want to date Aeris, be sure to include Aeris in the party.

On the way out, the party steals a Hardedge from a SOLDIER:3rd. This is a significant weapon upgrade for Cloud. They also steal a third Carbon Bangle from a Moth Slasher.
