The buggy is a land vehicle in Final Fantasy VII and the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Using reinforced tires, it is capable of traversing terrain that could not be crossed on foot. The buggy is owned by Dio of the Gold Saucer.

The buggy serves as one of the means of transportation on the world map in Final Fantasy VII, capable of crossing shallow waters on deserts on the western continent.

History[]

In "Sanctuary of Amusement", Cloud Strife and the others were locked away in Corel Prison after a killing spree at the Gold Saucer. After "The Desert Prison", when Dio learned that the killing spree was carried out by Dyne and not by Barret Wallace, he wrote an apology letter to the party giving them a "special gift", and had the buggy delivered to them, declining to give it to them in person due to his schedule.[2]

Characteristics[]

The vehicle is an all-purpose buggy outfitted with reinforced tires allowing it to cross shallow waters and deserts.[1]

Gameplay[]

The buggy is obtained after "Sanctuary of Amusement". It is a land vehicle allows the party to cross rivers, as well as the sandy area surrounding the Corel Prison. While driving, random encounters still initiate.

The buggy can be transported to the Eastern Continent by use of the Cargo Ship (by driving into Costa del Sol). Because there is a river connecting Corel Area to the Gold Saucer Area, the buggy can provide a shortcut, saving the player time from having to cross the mountain.

During "In the Land of the Study of Planet Life", if the player tries to bypass Cosmo Canyon on the buggy, the vehicle breaks down just outside the town, but is repaired by a mechanic there. The work on the buggy will be finished after the events in the town are complete. If the player pays the mechanic well, he will tip the party off on the location of an Elixir.

After the events of "That Which Waits in the Northernmost Reaches", the buggy disappears without explanation along with the Tiny Bronco. Their roles are replaced by the Highwind. The buggy is the only means of returning to the field areas of Corel Desert, and thus the opportunity to return is lost with the disappearance of the buggy.
