Welcome to Gaia! ::

As a teenager, Johnny departed for Midgar, and wrote Tifa several letters after he left. One of these can be read in the Nibelheim flashback on disc one. After settling in Midgar, he joined, but later left, SOLDIER, and became a resident of the Sector 7 slums in Midgar where he lived with his parents. The day after the destruction of the Sector 1 Reactor, Johnny left the Sector 7 slums, with the residents gathering together to see Johnny off. He is on the train with AVALANCHE soon after. His first destination was Wall Market, where Cloud and Aeris encountered him in front of the Honeybee Inn. It was shortly after this that the Sector 7 Plate fell on the slums, killing of its residents, although it is unknown if Johnny's parents were able to make it out before the plate fell.

Cloud encounters Johnny again in Costa del Sol, where he has found himself a girlfriend. He stays there the rest of the game. If Tifa is not in your party when you arrive, she will visit Johnny's home and the two will talk of old times.

In On the Way to a Smile: Case of Denzel, he is running an outdoor bar in Edge that is modeled on Tifa's 7th Heaven. Four years after Meteorfall, Johnny's infatuation with Tifa has transformed into an open admiration of her tenacity to start a new life after all she has gone through. Although he doesn't realize it, Johnny actually loses customers to Tifa due to his tendency to tell his patrons about how much she inspired him. He openly objects to Denzel attempting to enlist in the World Regenesis Organization in his own cafe, fearing it would damage his image. He also listens in on parts of Denzel's meeting with Reeve Tuesti, and speaks to Denzel about what he heard once Reeve leaves.

According to the Ultimania Omega, in an early version of the Final Fantasy VII game script, Johnny first appears earlier in Seventh Heaven. He gives a choice response to Cloud about Tifa asking what his relationship to her is. The chooses are either "We're just childhood friends" or "That's really none of your business, is it?" Depending upon the choice, Johnny will bemoan the fact that he does not have a promise of his own with Tifa and then demand that Cloud treat her right, or leave wishing to become a "proper man". Either way it is implied that he leaves Midgar's Slums out of heartbreak thanks to Cloud and Tifa's intimacy which he can never have.
