Seventh Infantry Locations

Seventh Infantry Location 1

The first unit can be found inside The Glabrescent Bar located in the southeastern corner of the Shopping Center on the Main Street – City Center level. Simply head down the stairs and activate the cutscene to recruit the troops for your drill team.

Seventh Infantry Location 2

The second group is located inside The Full Arsenal store in the southwestern corner of the Shopping Center on the Main Street – City Center level, directly across from the first unit. Descend the stairs behind the vendors and speak to the two soldiers discussing the Masterworks Canon to add them to your team.

Seventh Infantry Location 3

The third unit is found at Cecilia’s of Junon store, which is right next to The Full Arsenal store. Upon entering, take a right and converse with the group of soldiers to recruit them for your drill team.

Seventh Infantry Location 4

To find the fourth unit, go to the Shopping Center 3F on the Main Street – Upper Level, which is a floor above Maghanata Books in the western section of the complex. The soldiers are admiring weapon cases to the left of the Accessories vendor; approach them to add them to your team.

Seventh Infantry Location 5

The fifth unit can be found in the Barracks – Assembly Room on the Main Street – Middle Level. Access this area through the door next to Maghanata Books. Speak to the reporter and soldier to recruit another group for your drill team.

Seventh Infantry Location 6

From the last location, head up the stairs into the Barracks – Briefing Room on Main Street – Upper Level to find the sixth unit. They can be found in the northeastern corner of the room.

Seventh Infantry Location 7

Exit the barracks and cross to the other side of the Shopping Center. Take two sets of stairs up into Le Sourie bar to discover the next Seventh Infantry location. The troops are gathered just across from the bar, engaging in conversation.

Seventh Infantry Location 8

Next, enter the Larboard Garrison – Reception through the open doorway in the northwestern corner of the Shopping Center. Go all the way to the right and descend the stairs; the eighth unit is located in the Larboard Garrison – Storeroom on Main Street – Lower Level, where a group of soldiers is playing with figures by the sofas and table at the back.

Seventh Infantry Location 9

The last two units are found outside. Leave the Shopping Center and head towards the unit taking a photo with a Rufus Shinra cutout, located behind the Materia vendor icon on the eastern side of Main Street – City Center. You will need to take a photo of the enthusiastic troops with the cutout to recruit them. If you capture a good photo, you may even keep the Rufus Shinra cutout.

Seventh Infantry Location 10

The final Seventh Infantry location is on the western side of Main Street – City Center, near the railing. The troops are gazing up at the cannon above. Once you recruit them, you will unlock the ‘7th Assemble!’ Trophy and can proceed to select your desired Junon Parade formation.

Junon Parade Formations Explained

The formation you select for the Junon Parade influences the difficulty of the minigame during the actual performance. For example, formations set to one star difficulty feature simpler button inputs, primarily involving tapping red buttons with occasional holds or rapid taps.

Conversely, choosing formations that offer two or three star difficulties will introduce more button holding and rapid button press prompts, requiring closer timing.

In practice, while higher difficulty formations pose more challenge, they tend to be more forgiving concerning team point allocation, and mistakes are slightly less punishing. Opting for all three-star difficulties is essential to achieve the best Junon Parade formation and earn the ‘Stealing the Show’ Trophy, which also enhances your relationships with both Tifa and Aerith.

To achieve all formations at a one star difficulty, link all five Security Officers together.

For formations at one, two, and three star difficulties, link two Security Officers, two Grenadiers, and position one Riot Trooper in the center.

Finally, to secure all formations at a three star difficulty, link two Grenadiers, two Riot Troopers, and place one Flametrooper in the center.

Enjoy the Junon Parade!
