Wutai Switch?

[inbloom1996]

Doing the stolen Materia sidequest, in Yuffie's basement, trying to flip the switch. I approach it and press "ok" but nothing happens. I approach it and press every button and nothing happens. Any idea what's up? Thanks.

Are you at the right part of the quest? You can flick the switches once you're in the basement with Yuffie.
Check what button you have assigned to for OK. It doesn't matter which of the 2 switches you press btw.

LilG is correct. You likelly have skipped ahead. There's a slight dialogue change when choosing sawitches but they aren't very significant.

I'm not sure if this is relevant to you anymore, but I want to comment on this to help out anyone else who may end up in this situation.

I ran into this exact situation today while playing Disc 2. It turns out that there is a 'sweet spot' in front of those two levers (in the back of the room). I recommend approaching the left lever from the left side of the room; make tiny movements toward the centre and repeatedly tap the action button. It's incredibly difficult and 'fiddly' but I eventually got there in the end.

One more tip: ALWAYS keep multiple saves. If it turns out that you have a glitch, at least you can skip optional parts of a story.

Hello! I am playing through the steam version of FF7 and have encountered the issue mentioned BUT... I think I've found a solution of you stand just to the right of the lever panel and face AWAY from the panel THEN hit the 'OK' button you can open menu with the lever options opens. (If I can figure out how to post a picture, I will) hope this helps, game on!

For anyone that gets stuck on this like I did, the way I finally got the option for the levers to pop up is I stood slightly LEFT of the LEFT lever, and made Cloud face away from the lever, and eventually it gave me the option to switch them. I have no idea why this is like that but that’s how I did it.

There are several times in the game where you can really tell it was programmed with dpad only in mind. That's one of them.

Fun fact, despite the Resident Evil 1 Remake having modernized analog controls, pro players still use the original dpad "tank controls," because backpedaling to bait zombies into lunging is a crucial gameplay strategy.
