Give 10,000 Gil?

Choice Consequence / Effect
Yes ・Obtain EKG Cannon
No ・No Effect

If you paid 10,000 Gil, Hart will give a short description of the Avalanche collaborator. Barret will rant about it which causes Hart to give the EKG Cannon as bonus to "preserve your relationship".

If you chose not to, the conversation will end. You can still talk to him if you change your mind but he will not change his. The price for the information and the weapon will still be 10,000 Gil.

Choice Effects

Your answer will not affect the flow of the story and you will still be able to progress through even if you chose not to pay so feel free to check the results above and choose your desired answer.

It is recommended, however, to pay Hart 10,000 Gil since this is the only way to obtain the EKG Cannon.

You could even get 3000 guil in that library, so technically it'll cost you 7000 anyway.

Might as well give him the 10K Gil. Gil in this game is easy to obtain anyways. Especially, since this is the only way to acquire the EKG CANNON. Honestly, part of me wants to do so, to hear Barret's monologue.
