Chapter Synopsis.

Chapter 8

In the glittering realm of the Gold Saucer, the eighth chapter of "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth," titled "All That Glitters," unfolds with our heroes stepping off their whimsical flying carriage. Barret, who has recently faced his haunted past, now guides the party through this neon-lit wonderland. As Aerith, Tifa, and Yuffie surrender to the infectious joy of dance, Cloud encounters the enigmatic owner, Dio, trading the battlefield for an arena of another sort—a 3D Brawler match. While the revelry spins on, Cloud and Barret confront the mundane task of securing rooms, only to cross paths with the curious Cait Sith, whose arrival hints at riddles yet to be solved.

This chapter is a tapestry of both celebration and challenge, with our heroes indulging in the myriad attractions of the Gold Saucer, from Wonderment Square to the Skywheel. Their revels are cut short, however, when they learn of a crime in the Battle Square, falsely attributed to Barret. The group's quest for truth leads them to Corel Prison, where they must win Chocobo races to secure their freedom, and where Barret faces an old friend turned foe, Dyne, in a battle laced with emotional turmoil. As they emerge victorious, the chapter draws to a close with a daring escape from Shinra's clutches, setting the stage for the next phase of their journey.
