Is there an actual hard copy novelization out there somewhere? I searched eBay and all I said we dirty pictures of Tifa. PFFfff. They're huge, but the anime-porn is one thing I'm just not into!

I think you'll have a tough time finding that one. FF7 was based on a story (if you watch the intro credits in the beginning, you'll see it say this) by Nomura and some other guy. Most likely you'll find a short story or an outline that was later converted into a game.
For me, this explained a lot, since there's a ton of info and history about the storyline that you never see in the game. A lot is lost when a story goes to any other format.
In any case, you shouldn't look for anything under FF7 as you know it. If anything, the chars would be completely different from what you know. Maybe look for an original script online? That's the only thing I know of you could look for. But most 'novelizations' are by fans and, though some are quite good, it isn't the same as coming from the creators themselves, IMO.
Of course, there's always the Ultimania Omega Guide. It is a lengthy guide detailing all the fine nuances of the game, written by the creators, of course. Not a book, but it does tell everything about everything. I recommend going there if there's something you don't get in the game.

I clicked on this thread to see your reply thinking it was going to be the entire story in absolute detail. Today however I was wrong

XD So sorry to dissappoint, Moonchild. But when I posted that, it was my birthday, and I had to leave to open presents and eat some cake.
I shall work on a complete summary if you wish, (actually, I will, just for kicks) but know it'll take some time since I'm writing a short story, a book, and an essay for school all at once. Check back with me in a week or two. Kay?
