Infiltrating Shinra HQ: storm the front door or take the stairs?

Stairs are funnier, front is more badass.
It depends on my mood. I busted in the first time I played, though.

don't see the point. Shinra will just burn through mako regardless if there is any consumption or not in their bases.
Stairs is humorous, but I normally storm the front door since it's more fun and dramatic.
I then take the time to head down the stairs to grab that elixir so it can go unused and hoarded in my inventory for the remainder of the game.

Is there a fan translation or anything out there for PC or anything to clean up shit?for the people wondering about the dialogue
Stairs.
And now I wanna replay FF7.
Is there a mod for the music loop issue for the PC version or should i bust out the PS1 version?

There's a pretty massive fan translation project on PC that retranslates the entire script called The Reunion. Went through it recently and it's pretty good.
It's an entirely new script based off the Japanese script rather than an attempt to clean up the English one, but it's high quality. I'd recommend turning on original item names and character names when setting it up, as there's otherwise some really weird choices like Phoenix Tail instead of Phoenix Down.
How weak do you need to be to need XP that early in the game? Sounds like what you really need to do is take the stairs to get your endurance up.
for the people wondering about the dialogue
FFVII had many questionable dialogue lines and stereotypes but this particular line definitely will be changed in the remake.
As much as I want to play with a new translation, I don't think I can go without my blaxploitation Barrett. He was intrinsic to my experience growing up playing games that "only white kids" were supposed to play.

He was the dude who looked like me and talked like people I knew; I'm too emotionally attached to it.
I'm certain it will. The original PS1 translation was very much of its time, filled with tons of "edgy" additional swears and expletives that were gratiuitously added to appeal to the teenage "cool" audience of the PS1. This was a very common thing to do with PS1 game localisations of the day...
Final Fantasy 4 PS1 is a particularily egrigious example of this trend! Thank God they fixed all of that with the GBA translation (which was excellent and is the version of the script they have used ever since).
I do both. I bust through the front, get the turtle's paradise flyer, come back out, save, and then go up the stairs
I think stairs is far more immersive. Like, you're trying to sneak through the biggest corporation in the world's hq, it's just silly to attack by the front door.
Not that it will have any consequence anyway. But i'm playing a videogame and it's a lot more fun to assume it does.
That said, last gameplay i took the front route and watched that car ad cgs for the first time. Already finished this like 8+ times and never even tried to interact with stuff in the first floor before haha

First time through I took the stairs. For subsequent playthroughs, I either do both or just bust in the front.
I like how their example is what I've always considered the worst translated line in the whole game:
Borderline gibberish.
