As the Shinra building is under attack, you are tasked with protecting Hojo, the scientist who is likely to be the target of the attack. Upon entering Hojo’s lab, you will find several machines with buttons on them. Interacting with these gives you the option to press the buttons, but you may be wondering if you should press the buttons and what they will do in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core.
Should you touch the machines in Hojo’s lab in FF7 Crisis Core?
Yes, you have to interact with Hojo’s machines in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. Each one will provide a different minigame or event, allowing you to get various rewards. Here are all the effects of the machines, starting with the one closest to the elevator, in Hojo’s lab in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core.
