MP absorb missed :(

[Misza]

Is there any small chance to get this one on disc 3? I'm far far beyond wutai disc2 and just realized i missed this one :(

[ladynadiad]

Nope, you're pretty much out of luck since I don't think that one can be dug up in Bone Village and there's no other spot to get it.

If you missed it, you can't go back for it unfortunately.

..How did you miss it? That's the thing in that chest, right? You need to get it to make Yuffie come down and continue trying to chase her at the start of the side quest, and if not, why isn't there a reason you can go back and open it?

That chest only has the materia in it during the Wutai sidequest. If you don't go to Wutai before you go to Midgar and the Sister Ray, the sidequest will never occur and that chest will perpetually be blocked by an NPC who only moves during a part of that sidequest. I don't know since I never skip that sidequest, often hitting it as soon as I get the Tiny Bronco, but everything I've read means you can't do it after disc/part 2 is complete.

yup after disc2 ending (sister ray) u cant even start this quest, i think it starts only when u get to the Wutai Island from the sea (getting there by tiny bronco). I've finished game few times and never thought i wount be able to get this quest on disc 3.... but it all make perfect sense now, the turks are defeated so why they should be in wutai... :(

I think that's part of the reason why you can't do the Wutai sidequest after Midgar. After Weapon's attack on Midgar, Shinra was basically destroyed. Rufus was presumed dead while Scarlett and Heidegger (spelling) decided revenge was in the company's best interest (and see where that got them). Reeve was likely the only surviving Shinra member and it's a good bet he didn't survive Meteor anyway as he was holing up in the slums with other refugees (though I never played the spinoffs, so I wouldn't know). Meanwhile Cloud and co. fought the Turks in the train tunnels who basically acknowledged that they were out of work.. It just wouldn't make sense for them to suddenly be on a business-sanctioned vacation in Wutai after all that and they do have a prominent role in that side-story.

Of course, this all doesn't explain why that woman couldn't just move her fat ass two feet to the left so you could loot the box anyway. Stupid scripting.

You're right, but Rufus and Reeve don't die (Reeve is Cait Sith)

I already knew that Reeve is Cait Sith (Barret calls him out toward the end: "You're busted, Reeve.") and that Rufus survived based on story synopses i've seen from the spinoffs; I wasn't aware Reeve had actually made it to safety though in the wake of Meteor; Cait Sith even says that there's no chance for the people still inside during the final cutscene, which made me think he was still down there somewhere with them. If he came back in the spinoffs, I wouldn't have known since I've never played them.

Understandable, but alot of people actually survive in midgar, especially those in the slums who are more protected due to the upper plates providing them with a roof.
