Which version(s) have you played, Jess?

[Jessweeee♪]

NA Playstation. Though I don't think I realized that I was supposed to go to Cosmo Canyon right away the first time I went through, so something must have happened. Pretty sure it never broke, though.

went back to my Gongaga save and drove the buggy back to Cosmo Canyon, and took a screenie...

i'm totaly taking advantage of having 150 Save Slots...

Yes it is silly, though its more reasonable than Rufus coming to Rocket Town just so he can commandeer the Tiny Bronco to look for Sephiroth; even though Rufus has the Highwind and a fleet of other ships and massive army to do this... That whole scene still bothers me.

Besides the Highwind and the Tiny Bronco, the only aircraft we see are Gelnika, which are transport craft, and definitely not designed for comfort. If you're head of a worldwide dictatorship, you should get to travel in style and comfort. Hence the Tiny Bronco.

Heidegger has a throwaway line about how "the long-range airship [the Highwind, I assume] is still being prepared".

As for the buggy - I guess you can simply bail out and run to Cosmo Canyon before it breaks down, though I don't remember what effect - if any - that has on the events and dialogue that follow.

:edit: And having the vehicle break down means that the rest of the party's forced to visit the Canyon and accompany Nanaki, rather than having him be all "ok g2g cya!" and running off home, leaving the others to continue on their way.

anyway if the buggy didn't break down for that reason, i'm sure they would have added some lines for Barret to convince the others to go with Nanaki, considering he adores the place as the birthplace of the original Avalanche, so much so he decided to take the name for his own due to a high respect for the original Avalanche, too bad he never realized that Avalanche was partly responsible for the burning of Corel... so i'm quite certain, that would have been a viable option but they went with a breakdown instead as a means to really make sure you're trapped there for some story, instead of just rolling away straight onto Nibelheim...
