that used to happen to me, had top get a new game in the end because it drove me mad, if you can't gwet it to work by cleaning it and or opening the disc tray you might as wel suck it up and buy a new game, or, if you're lucky you might be able to buy the disk on its own on ebay or summat
That also happened to me at that exact spot aswell. Go out and buy some disk cleaner from dixons or any electrical goods store, if that doesnt work im afraid your gonna have to buy a new copy of FFVII. Sorry dude
You could try using a different disc to get past that part, but if that part keeps freezing. Most likely other parts on the same disc will freeze too. As LD said, get a disc cleaner they can be life savers.
I would really appreciate it if anyone is willing to help me by just getting past that part then saving it again, here is the link:

I assure you that it wouldn't take up much of your time.

I'll tell you exactly what to do. That bullsh!t happens to me ALL throughout my game towards the end of disk one until disk three.
After a while of it freezing you'll hear a sound effect, right? Like a buzzer going 'Uh-Uh!' That means for sure it froze. Once you've heard that sound it's time to take out disk one, put in disk two, and momentarily the game will resume.
You MUST put disk one back in, because if you get to certain parts on the disk you'll run into a part of information that that disk doesn't have to read, and this time when it freezes, there is no disk switch technique to run it back, you just lost your progress. Believe me, I was like, 'Oh yeah, sure, it runs smoother on this disk anyway keep playing.'
I ended up somehow backtracking my saves, my memory card deleted my current saves and put me back at previous saves I had made earlier on the other disks... So yeah, I cant stress this enough, just use the other disk to get past the glitch, it happens to me ALOT, but Cosmo Canyon was the WORST part. I can't even walk through Cosmo Canyon anymore because it just freezes and catches itself and freezes again like every seven steps I take. Lmao... Rocket Town too, a little.
Sometimes you'll miss an FMV doing this. Actually, you usually will. The main reason that VII glitches up like that with slight scratches on the disk is because theres so much information packed on to each disk, it can happen anywhere, but usually when it gets to a big FMV and its scratched, youre gonna freeze and disk change, it'll skip most (usually all) of the FMV. Sometimes you catch the back half.
Anyway, hope I saved you 75 dollars, not hunting down another rare (probably scratched) copy of VII used.

I had that problem but then I used mouthwash on the disk and it fixed it pretty well. If you do that don't let it sit for long or it will erode the top layer of the disk. After it is spread all across the disk service use cold water to remove the mouthwash and dry the disk with a dry lint free cloth. This removes most scratches easily and seems to work well on your large scratches too.
Yeah its like the game was made to freeze at that part it happened to me but I cleaned it and it started to work. I was very annoyed though. Well if you can not get it to work buy another FF VII disc!!

That makes me worried about my copy (I'm trying to replay it using the PS2 but I recently moved and haven't unpacked it yet) -- My copy is a tad bit over 10 years old, and went through wear and tear from a punk, inconsiderate 'child' to the point that I had to put everything under lock and key.

Anywho... about the disk buffers to repair scratches... I've seen more times where it leaves a thin white film that drys too fast and therefore unusable (i.e. destroyed) by using a standard tool (not home remedies) and following directions to THE letter. So I've seen more damages than fixes using those devices. (I had to comfort and hand hold a 22 year old 'boy' over his copy of Xenogears)
All I can say is to 'Use caution' and usually 'Word of Mouth' is the best way other than randomly grabbing one off a retail shelf and only paying attention to the price and not the quality. (Don't bother to ask the clerk since they are suppose to sell you the most expensive one anyway)
