This segment has it all.

A Weapon battle, a minigame that's easy to exploit, a lot of menuing and, most importantly, Tifa talking mindlessly seemingly endlessly for approximately 20 minutes.

This will probably also be the longest segment in the entire run.

Now, this is certainly not an incredibly hard segment, since there are only three things that must go right, but due to its sheer length, it was bound to not be much fun.

As I said, merely three conditions must be met in this segment:

(1) I have to be able to survive the Ultima Weapon battle. In case you didn't know, Ultima Weapon will flee after three attacks, which will always be Quake2, his physical attack and his Unknown-elemental (yes, that's an actual element in FF7, it's also known as Hidden-elemental) Ultima Beam in that order, so I don't even have to attack Ultima Weapon.

(2) I have to be able to steal the Curse Ring on the first try. While I could have been able to go for a second or a third attempt, failing to steal on the first try wastes at least 3 seconds. As the Fort Condor section is as simple as it could be and since the Ultima Weapon encounter takes place so early on this segment, resetting until I was able to steal the Curse Ring in one attempt was not that nightmarish (even though getting (2) right did not necessarily mean getting (1) right...).

(3) I have to be able to not screw up. This was not as easy as it may sound. The menuing, the running around and the text skipping can certainly wear one out, in particular if one is as one prone to lovely colorful mishaps as I am...
