Decided to replay Final Fantasy 7 recently and just got to the Mako Reactor in Sector 5.

After hitting the wheel I got no timer, I recall a timer before and an item is missing from one level up as well.

Also when we get to the Techno Soldier I beat it in one shot? Barrets Big Shot hit it for 1525...

I dunno something seems different. The game seems easier and things seem to be missing I remember from playing before. Any ideas?
