Shinra Building

The Shinra Building, also known as the Shinra Headquarters, is a massive structure located in the center of Midgar.

The story of the game takes you through the Shinra Building fairly early on. Check out the Shinra Building Walkthrough page for more information. This is the first time your team encounters Sephiroth and begins tracking him across the world of Gaea.

Entrance to the Shinra Building

You can visit the Shinra Building one more time when the team revisits Midgar in Disc 2. Visiting it is optional at this point in the game, but it is the last time you can ever explore the Shinra Building, and there is no way to return if you leave without picking up each of the items inside. Refer to the second Midgar Walkthrough page for more details.

There is an item shop on the second floor that you can visit, which sells the following items:

50 gil
300 gil
80 gil
500 gil
