The Maiden Who Travels the Planet

The Maiden Who Travels the Planet was written by Benny Matsuyama and is not considered to be part of FFVII canon. But because of having been published in two Japanese guide books, plus due to its status as “glorified fan-fiction”, we now link to a translation of said story.
