If you were playing in the Glacier then why not?
uhhh the thing is that I don't remember clearly what happens..
(SPOILER)I remember that in that village .. Icicle Inn I think? you'll get to watch some scenes by using the computers in that professor's house, in these vids you'll see scenes of Aeris and her mom.. the woman that appears there is a lot like the woman in the cave .. but I could be wrong after all ^_^;;
Thing is I've played this game so many times, I like to think of myself as more of a veteran really, and I cant be bothered to restart just for that one thing, but I might take yet another look into it if I ever start again for the sake of it. I just like the little side quests even if theyr pointless.
Well, actually the thing is one of those Snow things, ya know, the ice enemy tyhat casts ice 2 and fascination.... yea thats all you fight. real easy battle, but you gotta touch the hot springs first. then Alex is all yours!
yeh i know what you're talkin about theyr dead easy, not least of all because I spend hours levelling up my characters so they're always really strong!
there is a glacier whitch i've fought her three times. if you ask the guy at the bar in icicle town he'll say something about a witch. after you beat her she'll drop the alexander materia. you fight her by touching the hot springs then you go to the part where u lay the markers and try to find a little hut. go in it and then leave and then find the cave and she'll be sittin there and u talk to her and she says not to touch her wuth those filthy hands that touched the hot springs. then u fight and beat her. she looks look like the chick with the frogs acceept blue.
Yes, you can only access the Snow Woman's Cave from Area 12, or the area that simulates the world map. When you first enter, if you rememered to touch the springs, you'll enter on the south end. If you previously passed out, you'll come from Holzoff's place to the north I think. Anyways, go east until you reach an area with a cave (use the assist to help you). While you go east, you must strategically place flags while the wind is blowing the camera around so you can keep track of where east is. If you mess up, go back and try again. If you find the cave, get the elixer inside it, and when you come back out, east is to your right, so go that way. The exit out of the Snow Woman's area that does not lead back to Area 12 is a one way trip to another area (which is why you can't access it from down there). The Snow Woman is rather easy compared to other bosses in the game, especially the recent ones and the next one (Schizo). Obviously, fire magic will help you.
Oh! Haha. & yes, it was a bad joke. ;)Quote:

Also, as with any Snow, the player can steal a Circlet. This Snow, then, is not unique as regards battle, other than the fact that the boss theme plays during the fight. However, there is dialogue preceding the battle (she complains about Cloud attempting to touch her with hands that had been dipped in the hot springs, accurately reflecting the hint given in Icicle Inn) and, after defeating her, one gets Alexander materia.
As previously noted, Snow (the specific battle, as well as generic encounters with the enemy) can be fought at any time during the game. Unlike Gaea's Cliff, Crater, or the Whirlwind Maze, Great Glacier can be revisited.

Elmyra states that Ifalna's last words were "Please take Aeris somewhere safe." This shows that Ifalna died in Midgar, years before the party actually travels to Great Glacier. Further, Elmyra remembers Aeris telling her that Ifalna had "returned to the Planet."Quote:

You were correct on every count but this.Quote:

Recall that Aerith was only 20 days old according to the tapes at the time of Gast's death, but that it had been fifteen years since Elmyra took Aerith in. Aerith is 22 years old in the game's present. Thus, she was seven at the time of Ifalna's death. She and her mother had spent roughly seven years in captivity.
