Rocket Town is famous for being the home of Captain Cid Highwind, simply the greatest pilot Shinra has ever employed. It is also the home of the Shinra Space Program and its crown jewel, Shinra No. 26. The launch of this rocket, which would have made Captain Highwind the first man in space, was aborted at the last minute due to technical problems. A re-launch of the Shinra No. 26 is being planned for the near future. Please check out to the travel advisories for the latest developments!
Getting There
Rocket Town is situated in a vast plain in the northwest region of the Western Continent, and is most easily reached from Nibelheim.
Points of Interest
Shinra No.26 - One of Shinra's greatest technological marvels, Shinra No. 26 was built as the first manned spacecraft. A faulty tank is to blame for the aborted launch of this otherwise magnificent rocket. If you explore the launchpad, chances are you may even run into Captain Highwind!
Shopping
Weapon Shop - This store, operated by a gun enthusiast, features high-quality armlets and accesories. The prices may seem a bit steep, but for many of these items, it's worth it!
Item Shop - In addition to many higher-end basic curatives, this shop features some rare magic (and occasionally command) materia you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
Lodging and Accomodations
Shanghai Inn - One of the higher priced, but also higher quality, inns out there. Nightly rates start at 300 gil.
