Use in runs

This debug room is used three times in All Bosses (Warps).

On the first visit, the player must talk to Jessie to add every character to the global party, bypassing Yuffie's recruitment flags and Cait Sith overwriting Young Cloud's character data. Then afterwards, talk to Aerith and select "rocket" to warp to the Palmer fight.

On the second visit, the player must talk to Cid, and while holding R1, select "junon." This is to get the Highwind early, allowing for easier travel.

On the third visit, the player must talk to Cid and choose "feel wind" to trigger the Diamond Weapon fight.
