A quick note from KM:

Hello!  No, this isn't another update, it's more like a quick addition
I'm putting here so that everyone will notice it.  I'm asking that you
guys DON'T E-MAIL ME ABOUT FF7 QUESTIONS anymore.  I've answered so
many e-mails I can't possibly count them all, and even though I stopped
the US FF7 FAQ back in January, people still e-mail me constantly, and
I don't have the time to answer it all.  If you want to use my FF7 FAQ
on a web page, go ahead.  If you want to use this FAQ in any other way
(such as in a publication or there is some sort of legal or credit
issue,) then you MUST contact me first, but otherwise, that's it!  You
can't please everyone, which is a big reason why the FAQ won't be
updated anymore!

I'm not trying to be rude, but it gets a little tiring at times.  I
realize that there are some mistakes still in the FAQ that I never got
around to correcting (the Emerald Weapon does damage equal to the
materia that you wear, there is no use for the miniature soldiers, you
cannot have chocobos that can fly, and any character who isn't in Disc
2 or 3 cannot be used without a GameShark code, and Bahamut Zero can be
gotten from Cosmo Canyon, this is in the FAQ but no one notices [ditto
with info. on how to get the Underwater Materia in the US version!]),
but I've done this thing for more than a year now and I'm tired of FF7,
geez!  Besides, those of you who keep up on the legal side of things
know that I have other reasons for not wanting to continue the FAQ....
Anyway, if you _do_ send me a question, your mail will be erased!  I
hate to end the FAQ on this sort of note, but that's how it is.

                                                       - March 31, 1998

done an excellent job.  While the main walkthough itself isn't up,
all the other sections have been converted and look very nice.  You

version 2.1 of the Japanese FAQ and 0.2 of the English FAQ.  Maintained
by Antoine Rotereau , it's another excellent
translation and will undoubtedly help out a lot of people.

=========================================================================

VERSION 1.3  (January 1, 1998)
I'd like to thank WhisQ for providing me with a totally-revised Monster
List--it's arguably one of the biggest and best contributions ever.
Other various things have been added and corrected.  Barring any new
discoveries, this is the last revision of the FAQ.  I hope you enjoyed
the ride, and I'd like to express my thanks to all the people who were
there for me in the beginning, and those of you who were contributing
up until the very last update.  Everyone who sent something into this
FAQ is worthy of praise.  Well, that's it!

VERSION 1.2  (December 14, 1997)
The Monster List has been revised, and more numerous corrections and
additions have been made.  Hmm...anything left to add? (Be reasonable
now!)  I've been doing this since February, and I think the FAQ is as
good as it's gonna get, right?  Well, let me know, otherwise, I
suppose this is it.

VERSION 1.1  (November 16, 1997)
The strategy section for the Ruby and Emerald Weapons has been updated,
and of course, there have been more numerous additions and corrections.
I'm happy to say that much of the new stuff in this revision is the
result of contributions by readers of the FAQ, so thanks, and keep your
hints and info. coming!

VERSION 1.0  (October 28, 1997)
The Walkthrough section has been updated for all three discs.  Strategies
for fighting the Diamond, Emerald, and Ruby Weapons has also been added,
as well as many numerous corrections.  Much of the Japanese text has also
been converted into English, along with other minor additions.  I'm
expecting a hundred 'thank-you's' from _all_ the people who e-mailed me
day after day about fighting the Weapons.... ^_^;  And with that, the FAQ
is bumped up to 1.0, since it's now a 'real' FF7 English-text version
FAQ.  Also (as if you hadn't noticed) the FAQ has been split into two
parts.

Also, an important note to contributors!  Did I e-mail you thanking you
for your contribution, but you never saw it added to the FAQ?  If so,
please e-mail me, as I'm having a hard time finding all the e-mails I
wanted to use and who sent them to me.  Sorry for my sloppiness;
especially those of you who were hoping to see your info. added to v0.3
but had to wait until now.  It's just that there are a lot of
contributions and I have to weed out the usable ones and then add them
to the FAQ.

VERSION 0.3  (October 6, 1997)
A minor update to the Walkthrough section, and more general corrections
throughout the FAQ.  Lots of GameShark codes this time, however, I only
made one of them, the 'Battle Select', the rest were submitted and
contributed by Ignacio DeLucas, Jeff Wong, and Charles Mac Donald.  Mr.
DeLucas gets big props for correcting my GS codes and submitting ones of
his own (as I don't like making them, and he seems to be very good at
coming up with them!! ^_^;)  I've replaced the 'Run from any battle'
trick with the 'Exchange Gil for GP' trick as the former cheat doesn't
work in the US version.  Also, several sections have been rewritten
(since I had to rewrite them for another FAQ anyway).

Also, section 7.9 (Main Menu) has been deleted, since the Main Menu is
in English (obviously), and so this section is defunct and only adds
more wasted text to the FAQ (which is far too big as is!)  On a sad
note, the 'Idiot List' has returned.  Hey, I call it as I see it--and
I'm really serious about people not messsing with my work.

VERSION 0.2  (September 14, 1997)
More corrections made and more info. added.  Also included the 'Gain
Lots of Experience Points', 'Super Select', and 'No Time Limit - Any
Character' GameShark codes.

VERSION 0.1  (September 7, 1997)
Basic information.  Much of this FAQ is based on my earlier Japanese FF7
FAQ.  Created GameShark codes 'Item Select', 'Materia Select' and
'Character Select' have been included.  If the FAQ seems a bit sloppy
right now, well, it is based on the Japanese FAQ so it'll take a revision
or two to get everything into shape, as this is a big file :)

Also, my spell-checker and 'find/replace' options went a little crazy,
so if you spot any strange mistakes, please let me know! ^_^;

Began construction of VERSION 0.0 on August 18th, 1997

=========================================================================

If this is your first time playing FF7, then trust me, you'll enjoy it.
If you were around back when I was working on the Japanese FF7 FAQ, then
I'd like to say, "Welcome back!"  Square has a lot in store for us gamers
and this version of FF7 is by far the best, in my opinion.

This FAQ is split into two parts: "Walkthrough and Basic Information",
which contains a step-by-step 3-disc walkthrough and info. on playing
the game, doing well at the Gold Saucer, etc.

The second part, "Extra Information and Lists", includes GameShark
codes and has added information on how Materia work, finding the
Ultimate Weapons, etc.  It also contains many lists of materia, enemy
skills, prices in shops, items and equipment, a full monster listing,
and so on.

For those of you who don't know, there are three versions of FF7.  The
first one is the original Japanese game.  The second is the English-text
release you've probably popped into your PlayStation just now.  The third
version is the pending Japanese re-release, which is just like the one
you're playing, but with Japanese text :)  If you're looking for a FAQ
for the original Japanese version, then please download my Japanese FF7
FAQ from:

              

It's divided into two parts, "The Complete Walkthrough", and "Extra Stuff
You Should Know".  Since the combined size of both documents stands at
993,611 bytes, I think you'll be able to find just about whatever you're
looking for in one part or another.

If you want a FAQ for the Japanese re-release, then I suggest you check
out that FAQ, too, but refer to this one if you want information on new
things added to the game, like the Weapon monster scenarios.  And if you
want a FAQ for the English-text version of FF7, then you're at the right
place, keep reading.

Okay, finally, a notice to my would-be editors; those of you who are
planning on reformatting the FAQ for Windows WordPad or ClarisWorks
or whatever shouldn't go asking me, because I'll say 'no'.  Similarily,
those of you who want to HTML'ize my FAQ shouldn't bother asking me
either.  _However_, I have no problem with you reformatting/HTML'izing
my FAQ as long as you state somewhere that you did it WITHOUT my
permission.

And if you're reading a reformatted FAQ or HTML'ized FAQ, please refer
all questions to the maintainers of those FAQs and not me.  This is
because such FAQs are usually hard to keep updated; so the information
they have might be from v0.2 for example, when v0.4 is already out.
If you can't find the info in one of their FAQs, please check my
homepage for the latest FAQ to see if that answers your question.

You can get Yuffie in your party during any disc.  If you're in Disc 1
and are riding around in the Buggy, that will work, too.  The two
places that she appears most often are the forests beyond the Gold
Saucer (in the Gongaga Area), and most forests in the Junon Area.
After a few battles, you'll fight Yuffie (seems to be a 1 in 15 chance,
if you ask me).

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: MYSTERY NINJA                                (her stats. vary)

Just attack, really.  Yuffie can use all kinds of cool attacks during
this time, but not once she joins you!  Yuffie's level, HP and MP vary
depending on what level your characters are at.
_________________________________________________________________________

When the battle ends, you'll be in a plain with Yuffie lying nearby.
There's also a Save Point here.  However, if you touch the Save Point,
then go to your menu screen to save, Yuffie escapes and steals 200 gil!
Don't worry, you can meet her again.  You'll have to talk to her several
times to get her to join.  As she and you converse, she'll ask you
several questions, and you can reply in two ways.  To get her to join,
respond like this:

Reply: Not interested

(talk to her again)

Reply: ......petrified
Reply: Wait a second!
Reply: ......That's right.
Reply: ......Let's hurry on.

Or in other words, choose the bottom reply, then the top one, then the
bottom one, and so on.  After that, you can name her, and she'll hook
up with Cloud and the rest of the gang.  Note that if you choose the top
answer for the last question she asks, you can name her, but she'll steal
700 gil from you and run away.  You'll have to repeat the whole process
if you want to get her in your party.

The second 'optional' (or hidden) character in the game, Vincent can
also join your party during any disc.  You'll need the gold key from the
safe in Nibelheim's Shinra Mansion (see below if you don't know how to
open it).  Go down to the pink cavern leading to Sephiroth's library
(it's in the Shinra Mansion, the entrance is in the stone wall in the
eastern wing).

Remember the door to the crypt you couldn't get through?  You can now
enter it.  Stand at the foot of the purple coffin and hit O.  The lid
will fly off and Vincent will talk to you.  To get him to join you,
respond to his questions like so:

Reply: Talk about Sephiroth.

(When the coffin closes, press O again.)

Reply: Who are you?

Then, try to leave the cavern and he'll join you.  Vincent can join you
from the first time you reach Nibelheim onwards (but not during Cloud's
flashback).

The hints are as follows:

 - When reading the paper, move the cursor down to the blank space
   and try and choose it.

 - Examine the area around the bed on the upper floor.  Then go out
   and look in the hallway nearby.

 - Search the opposite end of the broken piano.

 - Open the chest in the greenhouse, then examine the chest again
   for another clue.

What most people forget when trying to open the safe is that it's just
like a real combination lock...so you have to go in more than one
direction when inputting the numbers.  Furthermore, unless you're
fast enough, you'll run out of time if you try any other combination.
The code is:

        RIGHT TO 36, LEFT TO 10, RIGHT TO 59, RIGHT TO 97

This means that you hold right and scroll through the numbers, then
hold left until you reach 10, then hold right for the last two numbers.
Don't forget to press O to verify each entry.  When the safe opens, a
Summon Materia (Odin) pops out, and you are assaulted by a big goon
(how'd he fit into that little safe?)

_________________________________________________________________________
BOSS TIPS: LOST NUMBER                          LV: 35  HP: 7000  MP: 300

This boss can be taken out just by attacking and using Limit Breaks.
Magic spells (Fire, Ice, Lighting) that are at level 2 are also okay to
use.  Heal yourself and use Summon Materia (like Choco/Mog) and you'll
win in no time.  Aside from physical attacks, all this guy can really do
is use a Bolt 2 spell on you, but it only does 400-500 points of damage
to one character, so it's nothing to worry about.  Rarely, he does a
double-fisted hammer punch to one character that averages 2200 points of
damage, though, so pack in some Phoenix Downs before trying to tackle
him.  If you blow off his red half (the one that uses magic) his
physical attacks become more aggressive, so keep your HP up.  Likewise,
if his purple half is destroyed first, the Lost Number will use more
mid-level spells, like Quake 2, against your party.  It is possible to
kill this boss without either part of it dying (by stunning it using
the 'Choco/Mog' spell).
_________________________________________________________________________

Not only do you get an item from the boss once you beat it (it's the
manual for Red 13's Level 4 Limit Break, the Cosmo Memory), but there's
also a gold key in the safe that you can grab (Key to the Basement).
Don't forget to take the Red Materia!

Did the code still not work?  Remember, the safe's lock is LIKE A REAL
COMBINATION LOCK.  So, when you're turning to 36, you can either land
on it or creep up to it, but you can't hit 37 and go back.  This
applies to the rest of the digits, too; you can't go farther than the
number you want.  If you do (i.e. you go to 09 when trying to get to
10), you'll have to start all over again.

Get so many wins by fighting battles.  To see how many wins you have,
get in the Highwind or ride a Green, Blue, Black, or Gold Chocobo
ever so slightly south and a little ways to the east of Midgar City,
where you'll find a cave surrounded by mountains with a river nearby.
If you're in Disc 1, drive the Buggy into Costa Del Sol, which allows
you to take it with you back to Junon if you board the cargo ship.
You can then drive it over the ford to the cave area.

Inside the cave is a sleeping fellow who (usually) tells you how many
wins you've gotten so far.

  - If your last two digits are odd, he'll give you Mythril.
  - If your last two digits are even, he'll give you an item
    (usually a Bolt Ring or Ice Ring).

When you have the correct number of victories, talk to the sleeping
man.  He'll toss and turn, then give you an item (Mythril).  Next,
go to the house on the penninsula near the Gold Saucer (you should
recognize it since it's full of weapons inside).  Talk to the man in
the house, and when he gives you a choice, pick the top option.
You'll lose the Mythril, but you now have the choice of opening the
long wooden chest by the bed to get a Gold Armlet, or examining the
metal lid on the upper floor at the end of the walkway to get the
manual for Aeris's Level 4 Limit Break.

You can keep earning more Mythril from the sleeping man as long as you
give the piece you have to the weaponsmith near the Gold Saucer.

Go to Nibelheim during Disc 2 or 3, with Tifa in your party.  Nibelheim
is the the town by the pointed mountains on the Western Continent.  Enter
Tifa's house (the second building on the right side) and head upstairs to
where her piano is.

Choose the bottom option, then the bottom option again to play it (you
can't use the top option if you want the manual).  Then, press:

        X, S, T, L1+T, L1+S, X, S, T, L1+X, O, X, S, X*

You should find 1 gil betweent the piano keys.  Play the piano again,
and you'll find an Elemental materia.  On your third play, Tifa will
reach for the music sheets and find a letter addressed to her from her
mentor, Zangan.  She'll also find the Limit Break manual that he left
for her.

* Note that you can also play the 'Highwind' them by pressing:

        D, L, U, L1+T, L1+S, D, L, U, L1+X, R, D, L, D

  Or, you can use a combination of buttons and directions.  Playing the
  music this way doesn't seem to get you anything, though.  Also, for
  the record, I _have_ gotten Tifa's manual without her in my party,
  and without find 1 gil _or_ the materia, but I don't know what it is
  that I did aside from play the Highwind theme over and over.  Please
  note that the piano-playing results are usually very random (you may
  get 1 gil twice, or get nothing at all), so don't expect great
  results on the first play.

  First talk to the man standing by the doors back at
Midgar City.  He won't appear until after you've gotten the Highwind
and rescued Cloud from Mideel Village.  Talk to him, then return to the
Bone Village on the Northern Continent.  Chat with the man by the door
and pick the first option, then the second or third option.  While you
could place diggers and hunt for the Key yourself, if you want to cheat,
go over to the destroyed plane atop the dinosaur's skull.  See the one
excavator near the bottom of the screen?  Near him is a tiny piece of
metal sticking outwards (the nose of the ruined plane); position yourself
underneath it and press up so that your character is looking forward,
then dig.

You can use the Key to enter the locked gates near Area 7 and look
around Midgar City.  If you go into the church where you met Aeris,
you can see her bending over the flowers; she'll flicker and disappear
after a second (in the Japanese version; in the US version she appears
for a brief second and vanishes).  There's not a lot to do here, but if
you go back to the Wall Market and go to the 'ITEM' building with the
machine gun inside it, you can get Tifa's Ultimate Weapon by examining
the computer before the gun fires upon you (you don't need Tifa to get
the item).  Also, remember the man in the gun shop that you bought the
Batteries from to reach the Shinra Building back in Disc 1?  The man in
the left side of the 'Machine & Gun' shop will sell you an accessory
(Sneak Glove) for 129,000 gil this time around.

There are six of these flyers scattered throughout the world.  You can
find them in the following locations:

Flyer No. 1:  Midgar City...the town next to Aeris' house.  Go to
              the second floor of the southeastern building and look
              at the papers taped to the wall by the stairwell.

Flyer No. 2:  Shinra HQ...on the first floor, check out the board with
              the papers on it near the elevators.  The only time you
              can read this flyer is at the beginning of the game or
              when you raid Midgar in Disc 2.

Flyer No. 3:  Gold Saucer...go to the Ghost Square and enter the hotel.
              Read the sign that says 'SHOP' next to the shop entrance.

Flyer No. 4:  Cosmo Canyon...check the left wood post of the Tigerlily
              Arms Shop.

Flyer No. 5:  Cosmo Canyon...the gold paper by the door on the second
              floor of the inn (the entrance is behind some hanging
              cloth near the bonfire).

Flyer No. 6:  Wutai...the bottom floor of Yuffie's house; it's the wall
              scroll to the right of the doorway.  You can't get there
              unless you've done the sub-quest (refer to the 'Bonus
              Areas' section).

You don't have to find the flyers (they look like pieces of paper) in
order.  Whenever you have read all six of them, go to the restaurant
in Wutai (the large building in the southwestern corner of town).  Talk
to the barkeep and you'll get a Power Source, Guard Source, Magic Source,
Mind Source, Speed Source, Luck Source, and a Megalixir.

(called 'Lucky Sevens (?)' in the US version).

As easy as this trick sounds, it's harder to perform than you might
think.  One of your characters has to have a current HP of 7777.  This
can be done by getting injured, equipping materia, or raising levels.
When that particular character enters a battle, the message
Lucky Sevens will appear.  It will show up every time the 'fevered'
character attacks, too.

During this time, the person affected by the 'Lucky Sevens' will make one
_normal_ attack against each enemy when their Time Bar is filled, even if
you have materia such as Slash-All or Mega All equipped.  However,
assuming they don't miss, that person will always strike for 7777 damage,
even if an enemy has special defenses.  Furthermore, that person behaves
as if he/she was berserked (i.e. you can't select commands for them since
they will do nothing but attack), and can take no other action (even if
you're wearing a Counter Attack materia).  They can still lose HP or be
affected by enemy abilities/magic/etc.

There are two major drawbacks to this trick; your current HP drops to 1
point after the battle (it can be healed by normal means), and you can't
repeat the trick unless you have 7777 HP exactly.

Charles Lee has sent me various methods on getting this all the time:

4 Examples (please read them all):

  1. Cloud's HP status at the Status Window, let's say, is: 7177/9038
     How do you get 7777 current HP points?
     That is, how to get 7777/9038?
Ans: Use one Potion (HP +100) and one Hi-Potion (HP +500) on Cloud.
     7177+100+500=7777
     Now if you go into a battle, Cloud will be in "All 7 Fever".

  2. Cloud's HP status is: 3577/7397
     (Note that the MAXIMUM HP POINTS is now less than 7777.)
     How can you get the "All 7 Fever" in this example?
Ans: Raise your maximum HP by equipping HP Plus materia(s).
     Suppose after equipping one HP Plus materia, Cloud's HP status
     becomes: 3577/9038
       To get 7777/9038,
       you can now use 2 Potions (2*100) and 8 Hi-Potions (8*500):
       3577+(2*100)+(8*500)=7777

  3. HP status is: 7781/9999
     How to get HP to be 7777/9999 for YOUR NEXT BATTLE?

     Let your enemy hit you for a few times.  When your current HP is
     close to and above 6777
     (or 5777, 4777, 3777, 2777, 1777, 777, BUT NOT 7777 since you
      automatically go into "All 7 Fever" mode but you actually WANT TO
      SAVE IT FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!),
     cast "Toad" on him so that he will hit you for 1 point damage only.
     When your current HP reaches 6777 (or 5777, 4777, 3777, 2777, 1777,
     or 777), kill the enemy immediately.  As soon as the battle is over,
     go to the Status Window and use (Hi-)Potions to add your current HP
     to 7777.  Now when you enter your next battle, you should be able to
     sneak attack 62 times (which is what the All 7 Fever does) with each
     of your attack doing 7777 pts of damage.

  4. HP status is: 7775/9999
     How do you get 7777/9999?
Ans: Let your enemies (or allies) hit you until your current HP is
     close to but above xx77.  Suppose after taking some damage, your
     current HP is now 6285 (close to and above 6277).  Quickly cast
     "Toad" on your enemy transforming him into a frog and let him hit
     you until your current HP is 6277.  Immediately kill him and use 3
     Hi-Potions to add your HP to 7777.


Note:

When one of your characters is in "All 7 Fever", he/she will continuously
attack for 62 times.  (You can check it by using the trick I described
above on Ruby.)  When two characters have the "All 7 Fever", they will
attack for a total of 63 times.  Don't know what happens when all 3
characters have the "All 7 Fever".

Only requirement for getting the "All 7 Fever": Maximum HP >= 7777.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

All you FF7 owners out there should try this!  Go to any point in the
game with an FMV sequence (such as starting a new game--the part where
Cloud runs up to the Mako furnace).  Open your PSX and put in another
disc.  When you continue playing (the game won't crash) the FMV sequence
will be replaced with one from the disc!  (Using the last example, put
in Disc 3 and you'll see the sequence with the stone pillars rising from
the center of the last level; it's the same bit you see after killing
Jenova Synthesis before fighting Sephiroth for the last time.)

What's really weird is that you can keep playing the game with another
disc in your system!  I beat the whole first part of the game and the CD
would load up the various levels!  I don't know for sure, but I guess
that means that the ENTIRE game is written on each disc (barring the FMV,
obviously)!  If you want to verify this, try starting up a save file from
disc 3 and replace it with, say, the first disc.  You can do the
submarine/snowboard sequences, or go to any place you couldn't go to in
the first disc--and all the data loads up!

Going back to the trick, though, you can try this anywhere, and you
usually get cool results.  For instance, near the end of Disc 2, the
Weapon monster rises up from the sea and attacks Midgar City--and gets
decapitated by the Mako Cannon.  I switched to the first disc before
viewing the FMV and saw parts of the intro, and some parts from the
FMV during/after Aeris's death!  If you're fast, try switching the
discs during the opening FMV when you start a new game; with Disc 2
inserted, it showed some more FMV of Aeris (this is when you return
with Bugenhagen to the Ancient City).

Even stranger is the fact that you can still see text/graphics over the
FMV in some cases, such as Cloud and the Avalanche member running
offscreen just after the furnace explodes near the start of the first
disc, or Cid talking to Cloud on his phone during the part where the
Weapon attacks Midgar City (of course, this is over the FMV from the
disc you've chosen).  And as I mentioned before, you can play normally
after the FMV is over, even with the other disc in your PSX!

In earlier versions of this FAQ, I said that there was 'hidden' FMV of
a silver car rotating around.  Several people e-mailed me and informed
me that you can normally view this in the Shinra HQ during Disc One.
What's interesting, though, is that when I saw this FMV by using the
trick above, I had switched Disc One with Disc Three (at the FMV with
the bridge collapsing in Cloud's flashback).  This means that it's on
at least two of the three discs.  Why it's there is another story.
Also, the scene with the planets in Bugenhagen's observatory (which
is only in Disc 1) will also be partially displayed if you switch it
with Disc 2 or 3.

When you arrive at the Golden Saucer, there will be a man standing near
the back of the screen (past the Save Point), who appears there about
1/60th of the time.  If you talk to him, he will sell you one GP for
100 gil.  You can buy up to 100 GP from him.

An easy way to find him is to enter the Saucer and leave, then enter
again, but you'd better have a Gold Ticket or plenty of spare gil
otherwise!

As long as we're talking about money, there are some items that you can
buy that have a higher resale value.  A prime example is the Sylkis
Greens in the Chocobo farm.  Buy one, then use the W-Item trick to make
copies of it.  You can sell them back for lots of cash, early on in the
game.  This is a great way to buy expensive stuff or always have enough
money on hand for the Coin toss command.

This section was based upon a summarized guide written by Nikki.  Some
information is also taken from a more detailed guide written by Crow;
neither of these guides are on the Net anymore (...okay, Lungdemon?
Yeah, I won't say anything.... :))

You're going to need a lot of money, patience, and luck if you want to
raise chocobos.  The payoff is that you can breed chocobos that can fly,
swim, climb over mountains and go to places normal vehicles can't reach.

Here are some brief instructions.  Remember, there is a random element
to Chocobo breeding, so it may take a couple of tries to get the kind
of Chocobo you desire.  Also, be sure to save after correctly
completing a step as you'll undoubtedly have to reset a couple of
times during the breeding process.

 - After getting the Highwind in Disc 2, return to the Chocobo Barn.
   You can purchase stalls from Choco Bill for 10000 gil per stall,
   and you'll need at least four stalls (you can purchase six total).
   Remember, after you don't need chocobos any more, you should just
   kick them out to make room.

 - Before you can start breeding, though, you need to stock up on
   supplies.  Fly to either Bone Village or the Chocobo Sage's
   house.  If you run around on the grass, you'll eventually fight
   an enemy called Vrakoladus.  Fight that enemy three times,
   stealing a Carob Nut from it each time (you'll need the Steal
   materia first).  Then, go to the Goblin Island or Round Island
   and steal a Zeio Nut from the Goblins that live there.  Finally,
   go to the Chocobo Sage's house and purchase 40 Sylkis greens
   from him.

 - Equip a Chocobo Lure materia.  Fly to the chocobo tracks near
   the Gold Saucer (by the shore), and capture a chocobo.  Press
   X to dismount from the chocobo, and choose the option to return
   it to the Chocobo Barn.  You need to capture 2 chocobos from
   here, although you can get the other chocobo later or not get it
   at all, if you wish.

 - Now, fly to the chocobo tracks near Mideel.  Capture a chocobo
   here, and send it back to the Chocobo Barn.

 IMPORTANT NOTE:  The gender of a Chocobo is not determined until you
 return to the Chocobo Barn and name them.  Therefore, it is advised
 that you save your game before naming them.  That way, if you don't
 get the kinds you want (see below), then you can reset and try naming
 them again and seeing if their gender changed.

 - Return to the Chocobo Barn and talk to Choco Billy.  Name your
   Chocobos (this will put them in the stalls).  Now, go up to
   your chocobos and examine them by pressing O.  You'll want to
   make sure that you have one male and one female (or two males
   and one of any gender, if you caught three chocobos).
   Furthermore, one of them should be the running kind (usually
   you'll want the females), and the other should be the walking kind
   (usually, this should be the males).  Your third chocobo needs to
   be a 'runner' type.

 - So, you have at least one male and female, and one is a walker
   and the other is a runner, right?  If not, you'll have to
   release the chocobos that aren't the ones you want and go and
   capture more (or reset, if you heeded the important note).

 - Choose to mate the chocobos, and tell Choco Billy that you
   want to feed them a Carob Nut as well.  Hopefully, you'll
   get a colored chocobo the next day!  It should be green or
   blue.  If not, you'll have to reset and give it another go.
   Keep note of your baby chocobo's gender--it's very crucial
   later on.

 IMPORTANT NOTE 2:  Later on in this process, you can race chocobos at
 the Gold Saucer (see below).  However, if you have trouble getting the
 correct type of chocobo during these few steps, you can optionally
 choose to race them.  The better your chocobo's race class is, the
 higher chance you have of getting the needed color type of chocobo.
 Remember that you don't _have_ to race your chocobos, but the chance
 of getting a new type of chocobo is very low otherwise.

 - At this point, waste some time, then mate your unused 'runner'
   chocobo with the green chocobo.  You can repeat the last few steps
   (get a chocobo from the Gold Saucer, get a chocobo from Mideel, make
   sure they're both the correct types, and breed them using a Carob
   Nut).  Or, if you got two other chocobos the first time around, you
   can then breed them together.  Your third choice
   is to use the same pair of chocobos that you just breeded.  In
   that case, you'll have to waste some game time, as chocobos that
   have just mated can't do it immediately again.

 - In any case, you'll want to breed your chocobos together and get
   a blue chocobo, using the steps outlined above.  Your blue chocobo
   MUST be the opposite gender of your green chocobo, or you can't
   mate them.  Feed the blue chick and the green chick 10 Sylkis
   Greens each.

 (these next 2 steps are optional)

 - Get in the Highwind and go to the Gold Saucer via North Corel's
   ropeway.  Go to the Chocobo Square and talk to Ester.  Tell her
   that you want to race using either your green or blue chocobo.
   The goal here is to keep racing until your chocobo's race level
   reaches A.  To do this, win the races consistently; it will take
   a couple of tries.  To insure winning, just use Automatic Mode
   for most of the race and hold R1 + R2 to recover lost Stamina
   while racing, or all four shoulder buttons to run faster.  After
   one chocobo has hit rank A, do the whole racing process again with
   the other one.

 - Once your green and blue chocobos are both rank A, return to the
   Chocobo Barn.  Breed the two chocobos together, using your last
   Carob Nut (refer to the above steps for help).  If everything
   worked out, you'll have a black chocobo.

 - Fly to the Northern Continent (the snowy one), and look for
   Chocobo tracks on the western edge of the continent.  Land and
   then capture a chocobo at the tracks.  Return to the Chocobo
   Barn and name it (it should be the opposite gender of your
   black chocobo, and should be the 'dashing' kind--it runs very
   fast with it's head down).

(this step is optional, but you still have to feed them a Zeio Nut)

 - Now for the fun part.  Feed 10 Sylkis Greens to the black chocobo
   and the dashing yellow chocobo.  Then, go _back_ to the Gold
   Saucer and race both Chocobos up to race class A again!  When
   they're both at rank A, go back to the Chocobo Barn and tell
   Choco Billy that you want to mate them, using the Zeio Nut this
   time around.  With a little luck, you'll get the Gold Chocobo!

Unlike wild chocobos that you can catch, the ones that you've named
are tamer, and if you get off them, they will stay where you left
them until you get back on.  You can also ride a tame chocobo into
the Highwind and transport them around with you on the airship.

YELLOW CHOCOBOS can go anywhere you can normally get to on foot.  The
sole advantage is that a chocobo is a lot quicker than walking.

BLUE CHOCOBOS can walk along rivers, but they can't go past waterfalls.
They can also walk in shallow water, just like Cid's airplane could.

GREEN CHOCOBOS can run over mountains, even the pointed mountains by
Nivelheim.  They can also dash over _most_ cliffs and drops.

BLACK CHOCOBOS can walk along rivers and move around in shallow water.
They can also run over mountains and cliffs.  Unlike the blue or green
chocobos, the black variety can go over any cliff or drop: even
walk up or down waterfalls, enter the canyon surrounding the Ancient
City, or walk _over_ the ice forest that you have to traverse in Disc
2 after the snowboard scene!

GOLD CHOCOBOS can do everything a black chocobo can--they can also
walk in the ocean, allowing you to go anywhere you want, even into
the desert surrounding the Gold Saucer (just like the Saucer
vehicle).  Truly the ultimate in transportation!

In case you didn't know about it, you can rotate the chocobo you're
viewing when using the various options in the Chocobo Farm by holding
the R1 or L1 buttons :)

Head due south from Cosmo Canyon in the Highwind, then go a little to
the west.  You'll see an island that's part dirt, part grass, with
a smaller grassy island nearby.  This isle doesn't appear on the Map,
but if you land the Highwind on the grassy plain and run around in
the dirt long enough, you can fight Sabotenders (better known as
Cactrots; those little cactus guys from FF3)!  You can't get Rename
Cards from them or anything like that, but it's kinda fun fighting
them.  Actually, the name of this island is 'Cactus Island' so it
makes sense to find them here.

To get to the second isle, head for the two islands near to each other
on the northeastern edge of the map.  Then go north (and a little more
to the east), and you'll come across an oval-shaped island surrounded
by mountains.  There's a cave entrance here, but you can't land there
in the Highwind.  For more about the island, refer to the Bonus Areas
part in section 6.  The name of this place is 'Round Island'.

I'm not much of a code-maker myself, but here are some cheats you might
want to try.  Remember, you need a GameShark or a Pro Action Replay for
these to work.  Some people have reported problems with these codes
(such as, these codes don't work with a PAR).  FYI, I made these codes
using a GameShark with PAR software (version 1.98), so I really don't
know why it wouldn't work on both devices.

All of the codes in this FAQ were made by me, unless otherwise stated.
If you want to reprint, submit, or display these codes, please give
credit where it is due.  If you want to submit a code, just tell me
the code itself, what it does, and include any glitches/problems with
the code.  Oh, and please tell me the code's creator if you didn't make
it yourself.

Finally, the reason why I've made these codes is because I didn't see
anything like them beforehand.  So don't BS me about making the 'Materia
Select' code first or any of that garbage, as I'm not interested.

This is the cheat that lets you use other codes with this game.  I don't

            D  -  <'Nau Purintingu'>  (Now Printing)

When you turn on the code, the character in the 3rd position will turn
into whatever character you specified.  You may want to go into the
PHS menu, turn off the code, and put the character in/out of the PHS
groups a few times to 'debug' it a bit.  When you return to the Main
Menu screen, that person will have the portrait/stats. of the desired
character.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you have the 3rd space EMPTY when you
use this code as in some cases, a preexisting character may overlap
with the selected one.  The result is that, when you enter a battle,
that character does not appear, cannot interact, and his/her HP drops
steadily until it hits zero.

Using this code:

Characters all start off at their 'base' level (1).  If you use this
code to get a character that you don't have at the moment (say picking
Aeris while in Disc 2 or 3), they'll have the same stats and abilities
as they did when you last had them in your party.  If you level them
up, change their equipment, etc., then save the game and use the code
to replace them with another character and put them back in, any changes
you made will be saved, too.  Note that if you use this code to get a
character you already have (say, if Cid is in the 3rd position and you
put in the code for Cid), you'll get multiple copies of the character.
This also happens if you have the code on while you try to pull a
character in/out of the active group.  Copied characters disappear when
you exit the PHS menu.  This code also has a chance of starting up the
'error checker' feature (see the 'Super Select' code for details).

Yes, if you save the game, you save the added characters.  The only way
to remove them is to use the code to 'select' a new character, or to
put them in PHS (inactive party) and then return to your Main Menu.
Also note that sticking a 'selected' character in the first position
will make Cloud disappear on-screen (you can still use the cursor).

Finally, note that if you enter a conversation/event with a character
you're not supposed to have (say, Sephiroth outside of the flashback
or Aeris after Disc 1), the game may (and probably will) crash.  The
only exception to this are the 'general' quotes which a character will
say automatically, regardless of who he/she is.

Specific Character info.:

Both Cloud and Aeris become 'permanent' members of either your active
party or the inactive party.  To remove them, you'll have to stick
them in the third position (use Order), and put in a code for one of
your normal characters.

Sephiroth is still controlled by the computer, although you can take or
change his equipment and Materia.  As he only has one weapon (Masamune),
using the 'Item Select' code to have this item is useless as it's the
only weapon he can equip.  Although it will act as if he and Young Cloud
have Limit Breaks, they don't in actuality (if you look, you'll see
that it's Vincent's and Cait's Breaks instead).

This code has trouble realizing who is Cait Sith/Young Cloud and who
is Vincent/Sephiroth, because of the way the characters' data is
stored.  As a result, you may not always get the character you want
when trying to get either of these characters.

The 'Chocobo' and 'Now Printing' are not real characters.  They have
no weapons, statistics, etc. (if you look, you'll see that they
borrow the stats. of another character, usually your leader).  If you
try to enter a battle with one of them in your party, you get the
'overlap' result described above (as they are not playable).


ITEM SELECT                                               8009CCxx - yzzz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please take note:  As long as you follow the below guidelines (remember
to be careful when putting in the two 'location' digits), this code
should work.  Several people have been complaining that they can't get
the code to work--even the people with the same GS and version number
as mine (1.98).  If you've _carefully_ tried this code and can't get any
results, then you may simply not be able to use the code on your game.
I have NO IDEA what causes this and I'm sorry I can't offer more help to
those with problems concerning this code or the Materia Select code
(they both work in the same manner).

And yes, saving your game with this code _will_ save the items into
memory--you'll still have to be careful that you don't end up with the
'battle' glitch' described below (although it seems as if it's not in
the English version).

An example code would be 8009CCA8 - 202A for the Ghost Hand item, for
those of you who don't understand how the x/y/z entries work.

xx = Location where item appears on the Item Select Screen.  You can
     change this number to enter the code multiple times to have
     multiple items of your choice, but you _must_ use EVEN numbers
     (i.e. C2, 9A, or 88) or the game may glitch.  Also, if this code
     would put an item over an occupied space and not a blank one, the
     game may freeze or the item may not appear.  Finally, try to keep
     the location range between 8_ and C_ or the game may crash.

  y = No. of items; you'll have an infinite amount unless you turn
      the switch off (usually).  The number you enter is converted
      to hexidecimal form (so what you put in won't correlate with
      the # of items you get).  Keep in mind that 0 is a valid
      number and can be used.

 -   Codes ending in 0E5 - 0F1 are M-phones for Cait Sith.
 -   Codes ending in 0F2 - 0FE are handguns for Vincent.
     The code ending in 0FF looks like a gun, but it is in
     fact Sephiroth's Masamune blade.
 -   Codes ending in 100 - 11F are defensive bracelets.
 -   Codes ending in 120 - 13F are accessories you equip.
 -   Codes ending in 140 - FFF are 'glitch' items that don't exist
     and have no purpose/effect on the game.

In the Japanese version of FF7, having 'selected' items in your inventory
would cause an 'error checker' to appear (see it's description under the
'Super Select' code listing).


MATERIA SELECT                                            8009D0xx - 00yy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well well!  Here's an interesting code.  It works very much like the
Item Select code above, except that you have to go into the Materia
Screen.  As long as the switch is up, you have an infinite number of
whatever Materia you've selected.  The only bad thing about this code
is that it will sometimes start off the Materia orbs with 'beyond master'
levels, meaning that you can use all their abilities, but you can't get
another one by mastering it.  According to Mr. DeLucas, this is because
of their position (so if you want a materia with lots of AP, find a
code/position that works and remember it).

xx = Location where the materia appears on the Materia Menu.  You can
     change this number to enter the code multiple times to have
     multiple materia of your choice, but you _must_ use EVEN numbers
     (i.e. A0, C4, or 86) or the game may glitch.  Also, if this code
     would put a materia over an occupied space and not a blank one, the
     game may freeze or the materia may not appear.  Finally, try to
     keep the location range between 8_ and C_ or the game may crash.

yy = Name of Materia:

00 = MP Plus                            2E = (glitch)

*   Codes ending in 16, 26, 3F, 42 and 43 are 'disabled' Materia that
    you can't normally get during the game.  In the Japanese game,
    they were still usable, but their abilities, descriptions, and
    other stats. have been removed/altered in this release.

    Note that the Underwater materia has been made into a
    real, usable Materia!  It's not used to revive Aerith, but to
    explore more of the underwater areas (and fight the underwater
    Weapon monster).

**  Starts off with a variable number of stars (usually missing the
    first eight or stars 3, 6, and 7).

 - Codes ending in 00 - 0D, 10 and 12 are Independant Materia.
 - Codes ending in 0E, 0F and 17 - 23 are Combination Materia.
 - Codes ending in 13 - 15, 24, 25, 27 - 2C and 30 are Command Materia.
 - Codes ending in 31 - 3E, 40, 41, and 44 - 49 are Magic Materia.
 - Codes ending in 4A - 5A are Summon Materia.
 - Codes ending in 2D - 2F, 89 are game glitches and not real Materia.
 - However, equipping the '089' materia will raise most of your stats.
   to 255 and your MAX MP to 999, although your HP will be dramatically
   reduced.
 - All other codes (5B - FF, excluding 89) are game glitches and not
   real Materia.

For information on the disabled materia, refer to part 2 of my Japanese
FF7 FAQ.  However, here is a quick explanation:

 16 - Booster : A Support materia with no use.
 26 - Law     : A Command materia with the Throw and Coin abilities.
 3F - MBarrier: A Magic materia with the MBarrier spell (3 levels).
 42 - Reflect : A Magic materia with the Reflect and Wall spells.
 43 - Rifuabu : A Magic materia with the Wall spell (3 levels).

 and....

  11 - Underwater Breath : An Independent materia with no use.  This
       was made into a real, usable materia called 'Underwater' in the
       US version.


SUPER SELECT                                              800F389E - 0xxx
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:  As far as I know, you have to enter this in your Comms Link and
turn it on in-game in order for the code to work.  It _will not_ work
with a normal GameShark, as far as I know.  Even with a Comms Link, I'm
having trouble getting it to work (if you can only use Turbo Ethers or
Phoenix Downs, the code isn't behaving properly, BTW).

Basically, this code will let you do just about anything in battle.  It
works like this:

 - Use an item, and it will become whatever item you specified in terms
   of effect.  You do lose one of whichever item you selected, though.

 - Cast a spell, and the spell will instead be the one specified.  The
   amount of MP you lose is determined by the spell you selected via
   this code, not the one you chose in the spell menu.  This also
   applies to using Summons and Enemy Skills.

 - Manipulate an enemy, and you can choose which power you want it to
   use, even ones that aren't listed.

 - Assuming the game doesn't crash :), you can enter an 'error checker'
   mode that allows you to exit out of battle immediately.  This can
   be used against normal enemies and bosses, and while exiting out
   (by pressing L1+R1+Select) doesn't get you any AP, EXP, or Gil, it's
   considered a win for all practical purposes as events will continue
   normally should you exit out of a boss battle, etc.

This code affects all your allies.  You need at least one of the
following in order to make use of this code:

 - One Magic Materia in order to cast spells.
 - One Summon Materia in order to call a summoned monster.
 - One Enemy Skill Materia in order to use Enemy Skills.
 - One Manipulate Materia in order to manipulate enemies.
 - At least one item that is usable in battles in order to change the
   effects of that item.
 - One character who has his Limit Break bar maxed out, at any level.
   (optional)

This chart below shows how the number you enter into the code affects
the resulting commands in battle:

Notes  __________________________________________________________________

USING ITEMS:
- After 046, all items will do zero damage when used.  The effect that
  goes with each item changes (Fire2, Vaccine, etc.)

USING SPELLS:
- 036 will instantly summon Death, who will kill one of your
  characters.
- Using 037 gives you a blank spell, which you can never have enough
  MP to cast.
- Using 038 - 047 casts a spell with the name of a Summoned Monster.
  All of these spells cause immense damage to the enemy, except
  Leviathan, which causes zero damage.
- Using 048 - (onwards) casts a spell with the name of a Enemy Skill.
  The effect upon a target is very strange (looks like an Elixir being
  used, sounds like Barrier, etc.) but the result really is that
  particular Enemy Skill.

USING SUMMONS:
- Using 10 - 21 results in a Summon with the name of the current spell,
  and the summoned monster is the base monster onwards.  The result is
  the corresponding base Enemy Skill (for example, 10 makes you cast
  MBarrier, which looks like Choco/Mog, and hits one enemy with the
  effects of Frong Song.  On the other hand, 12 makes you cast Wall,
  which looks like Ifrit, and hits one enemy with the effects of Magic
  Hammer).

USING ENEMY SKILLS:
- Using 17 or 18 doesn't summon anything, but the resulting damage and
  range are similar to the Fat-Chocobo and Gunge Lance summonings.
- Using 1A - 1E result in you casting Roulette.
- Using 1F makes you cast Matra Magic.
- Using 20 really does cause Death Joker (ouch)!

USING THE MANIPULATE MATERIA:
- Assuming you can manipulate an enemy, you need only change the number
  and try to use any of that enemy's powers to see what the result is.
  Note that if you go to far ahead (try to access a power that isn't
  there), you may crash the game or start up the 'error checker'.

USING LIMIT BREAKS:
- In most cases, using a Limit Break results in the 'error checker'
  starting up.  However, be careful, because you may end up crashing
  the game if the code gives your characters someone else's Limit
  Break (in one case, Red 13 tried to use Gigadunk and the game
  crashed.  Another time, he did Vincent's 'Satan Slam', and it
  worked!)

CAUTION:
- Using this code along with the 'Throw' command will hang the game as
  your character tries to throw repeatedly.
- This code may cause enemies or allies to move to different locations
  on the screen, and will interfere with the zoom/position of the
  battle camera.
- Some of the numbers will cause the game to hang.  Others cause the
  'error checker' to appear, so use them with caution.

Okay, as you can tell, this code still requires much more testing.  If
you come up with any interesting results, please let me know.  Right
now, I'm trying to discover an easier, surefire method of calling up
the 'error checker' using this code (as that would allow you to skip
any battle instantly!)


NO TIME LIMIT - ANY CHARACTER                             800E7A48 - 000x
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace x with:

               0 = Character in the 1st position
               1 = Character in the 2nd position
               2 = Character in the 3rd position

When using this code, the affected character(s) will be given their
chance to act during a battle immediately.  You can also give them new
commands while they are attacking, casting magic, etc (the only
exception is during a Summon or if they get past the initial frames of
a Limit Break).  Otherwise, the battle is played out normally.

This code can lead to some strange situations, like windows that don't
close, or you may have chosen to cast a spell eight times in a row only
to run out of MP after the third one (in which case, you simply waste
the next 5 turns while the message "You don't have enough MP!" appears
on the screen repeatedly.  In some cases, there's nothing you can do
about the windows, but if you try going into that particular window
(say, the Limit Break window), and then exiting out, it should close.


GAIN LOTS OF EXPERIENCE POINTS                            8009D7D8 - xxxx
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace xxxx with any number; FFFF for the most EXP, 0000 for no EXP.

This code gives you hecka EXP when you win a battle, regardless of what
kind of enemy you fought.  That's all there is to it :)


BATTLE COMMAND SELECT - 1ST POSITION                      8009D8A4 - 02xx
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This code will make the third slot in your Battle Command window change
to what you specified using this code:

Replace xx with =

00 = Left            0F = 4x:
01 = Attack          10 = 
02 = Magic           11 = Mug
03 = Summon          12 = Change
04 = Item            13 = Defend
05 = Steal           14 = Limit
06 = Sense           15 = W-Magic
07 = Coin            16 = W-Sum.
08 = Throw           17 = W-Item
09 = Morph           18 = Slash-All
0A = D.blow          19 = 2x-cut
0B = Manip.          1A = Flash
0C = Mime            1B = 4x-cut
0D = E.Skill         1C = 
0E = All:            1D = 

Normal abilities will work as they should, but some of them function a
little differently.  Note that none of the commands that make use of
the Summon screen actually reduce your character's MP, although you
must have enough MP to be able to select that summon spell.

Left    - When used, this brings up the Summon Screen (you must have at
          least one equipped Summon Materia for this to work).  Choosing
          a summon results in no effect for that character's turn.

Change  - When used, this brings up the Summon Screen (you must have at
          least one equipped Summon Materia for this to work).  Choosing
          a summon results in the character changing row position.

Defend  - When used, this brings up the Summon Screen (you must have at
          least one equipped Summon Materia for this to work).  Choosing
          a summon results in the character defending for that turn.

Limit   - When used, this brings up the Summon Screen (you must have one
          or more Summon Materia equipped for this to work).  Choosing
          a summon results in the character's respective Limit Break.

The 'Limit' ability is by far the best one, because you can use any
limit break providing you have seven Summon materia equipped (4 in the
case of Vincent, 2 for Cait Sith), without having to change break levels
or fill your Limit Bar.  Even better: if you try to use a Limit Break
you don't have (the 8th summon for most characters, the 2nd, 4th, 6th,
8th and so on for Vincent, or the 2nd, 4th, and so on for Cait Sith),
you get a _perfect_ 'error checker' allowing you to bypass _any_ battle,
boss or otherwise!

CHARACTER SELECT - SEE THEM DURING THE GAME               8009CBDC - xxyy
submitted by Igancio DeLucas         8009CBDE - 00zz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace xx, yy, and zz with the number that represents your character.
This code allows you to choose three characters at one time:

xx, yy, zz = 00  -  Cloud Strife
             01  -  Barret Wallace
             02  -  Tifa Lockheart
             03  -  Aeris Gainsborough
             04  -  Red 13
             05  -  Yuffie Kisaragi
             06  -  Cait Sith         (sometimes, Young Cloud)
             07  -  Vincent Valentine (sometimes, Sephiroth)
             08  -  Cid Hiwind
             09  -  
             0A  -  
             0B  -  
             0C  -  <'Nau Purintingu'>  (Now Printing)
             0D  -  <'Nau Purintingu'>  (Now Printing)

With this code, the character in the first position (use the 'Order'
command from the main menu) can be seen in the rendered areas (note that
it may be the second position, this seems to happen from time to time).
In the World Map, your character will be Cloud unless one of the
characters has been specified as Tifa or Cid, in which case, that
character will be the one shown regardless of order.  Note that only
Cloud can climb up ladders and do other acts other than walking or
running, and if you try to do such an activity with another character,
you will hear the sound of that character doing something, but they
won't actually do it, and if you try again, the game may glitch.  Also,
note that your character won't always appear in some areas, and that
they won't actually change until you exit an area.  An even stranger
glitch is that, if you start a game saved in the World Map, that you
are transported, usually out into the ocean at the far edges of the
map.  I haven't found a use for this yet, but it's interesting, to say
the least.

Otherwise, this code works like the CHARACTER SELECT - 3RD POSITION code
listed below, including glitches and game bugs (having a character die
in battle, the trouble with the Sephiroth, Now Printing character codes,
having the leader be invisible, activating the 'error checker', etc.)


USE ANY OPTION ANYWHERE                                   8009D2A4 - xxxx
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas         8009D2A6 - 0000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this code, all of the Main Menu options are available during any
point of the game, even if they are greyed out or not supposed to be
visible w/out the code.

Replace xxxx with 0000 for no options available (heh), but the one you'll
want to use is FFFF, which gives you all abilities.  Note that if you
have less than 3 characters (and no characters in the 'inactive' group),
and you enter the PHS menu, you can't exit out, as you have to make a
three-member party but won't have enough members.

Mr. DeLucas would like to stress that credit is also due to the original
creator of the 'Save Anywhere' code, whoever he/she is, because he used
that person's code as a basis for this one.


SET TELEVISION RATING IN JUNON TOWN PARADE                80075E40 - xxxx
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this code on, during the part in Junon Town (in Disc 1) where you
are supposed to march behind the soldiers, you can set the percentile
rating you recieve.  Replace xxxx with 0000 for the worst rating, or
5500 for the best rating.

Note that you should turn this code on _after_ the commander tells you to
get in line, or the game may glitch (as in, he'll never ask you to get
moving, so you'll stay marching).


SET DRILL EXCERISE SCORE IN JUNON TOWN SEND-OFF           80075E3A - xxxx
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this code activated, during the drill part of Rufus' send-off to
Costa Del Sol (the part where you must follow the soldier's lead and
turn, act, etc.), you can set the score Rufus gives you depending on his
attitude.  Replace xxxx with 0000 for the worst score, or 0014 for the
best score.


SET POINTS EARNED FROM PLAYING G-BIKE GAME                800BDFB4 - xxxx
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When turned on, this code can be used to determine the score you'll
receive from the G-Bike game at the Gold Saucer (not the actual G-bike
scenario when you escape from the Shinra Headquarters).  Replace xxxx
with 0000 for the worst score, or 2000 for the best score.


FIRST FIVE ENEMIES HAVE BEEN SCANNED, LIKE USING 'SENSE'  800F5CF0 - 4000
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas         800F5D34 - 4000
                                                          800F5D78 - 4000
                                                          800F5DBC - 4000
                                                          800F5E00 - 4000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you use the 'Sense' command on an enemy, it shows you it's vital
stats.  Afterward, pressing Select and highlighting a 'sensed' enemy
with the cursor (usually when choosing a target), will display that
enemy's amount of current/maximum HP.  With this code activated, you can
see the current/maximum HP of any enemy in the game, as if you had
scanned them.

Note that this code will work on _every_ enemy and boss, but that enemies
that aren't normally able to be 'scanned' may have misleading amounts of
HP, or they may cause this game to freeze, in which case, you'll have to
reset the game.


TURN ANY TAME CHOCOBO INTO A GOLD ONE                     800E5674 - 0004
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Yeah, I fixed the 3/E mistake.  Thank you everyone *sarcastic sigh*
for telling me about this, repeatedly.... ^_^;)

(Just to clear up any confusion, this is the same code as my Gold Chocobo
code for the Japanese version of FF7.  However, since Mr. DeLucas not
only tested my code for me but corrected it so that it'd work on the US
version, he gets credit for doing all the work :))

You must be riding a tame chocobo (any color) for this code to work (you
can get tame chocobos in Disc 2 or 3, see the 'breeding' guide for more
information).  When this code is activated, your chocobo will gain all
the abilties that a gold chocobo would have (it can go over rivers,
mountains, the sea, etc.)  Remember, though, you can't leave the World
Map while the code is on, so you'll have to turn off the code before
entering any area.  When you come back out, the chocobo will have
'reverted' to normal, so you'll have to get back on and flip the switch
up again to re-activate the code.  Also, the code sometime glitches if
you enter the desert around the Gold Saucer.


ALTER CLOUD'S ELEMENTS/STATUS AILMENTS EFFECTS               (see below)
submitted by Ignacio DeLucas 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since all of these codes only apply to Cloud, and because they all work
in the same way, I'm listing these codes together:

Any Weapon attack strikes with all Elemental types:
8009D888 - FFFF

This code works just as it says.  However, if an enemy is immune to a
certain type of element, then they will be healed instead of harmed
regardless of the other active elements.

Take half damage from all Elements:
8009D88A - FFFF

Take No damage from all Elements:
8009D88C - FFFF

Absorb all Element damage as HP:
8009D88E - FFFF

(Remember that for these last three codes, you're also able to defend
against the unlisted 'non-element' damage type.)

Any Weapon attack strikes with all Status Ailments:
8009D890 - FFFF
8009D892 - FFFF

(With this code, the 'Petrified' status takes precedence over all other
status afflictions, so while you are attacking with every status effect,
the one that will override the others is 'Petrify'.  If you haven't
already realized this, using Slash All along with this code lets you
petrify all enemies with one attack, instantly making you win the
battle..... :))

Cloud is unaffected by all Status Ailments:
8009D894 - FFFF
8009D896 - FFFF

(Unfortunately, this code seems to affect beneficial status changes as
well, such as Haste.)


GAIN LOTS OF ABILITY POINTS                               8009D7DC - 8FFF
submitted by Jeff Wong 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you win a battle, you'll gain lots of AP.  Don't change the number
to a value higher than 8FFF or you won't actually earn the AP listed.


UNLIMITED GIL                                             8009D260 - FFFF
submitted by Jeff Wong 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This code gives you a huge amount of gil, which you'll always have the
same amount of as long as the switch is up.  You can save your game in
order to retain all the extra money, too.


HAVE 9999 GOLD PIECES AT THE GOLD SAUCER                  8009D3D2 - 270F
submitted by Jeff Wong 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The title says it all.  You'll have 9999 GP, and if you save the game,
you'll retain all that GP, too.


HAVE 65000 BATTLE POINTS AT THE GOLD SAUCER               8009D3D8 - FDE8
submitted by Jeff Wong 
edited by Dave Upton   
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works much like the last two codes in that you'll have lots of BP,
and that number won't decrease as long as the switch is up.  However,
since BP are temporary, if you leave the Battle Square with the switch
off, all your BP are lost.


NO RANDOM BATTLES WHILE ON THE WORLD MAP                  8007173C - 0000
NO RANDOM BATTLES WHILE IN A RENDERED AREA                8011627C - 0000
submitted by Jeff Wong 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both of these codes are listed together because they function similarily,
and you'll want to use them both ^_^;  As long as the switch is up,
you'll never run into battles, however, you _will_ have to fight boss
battles and other unavoidable confrontations.


KEY ITEM SELECT                                           (see below)
submitted by Charles Mac Donald 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, someone finally came up with a Key Item Select code (I've been
trying to make one since the earliest versions of my Japanese FAQ way
back in March), and it's none other than Charles MacDonald!  I'll let
him explain how the code works from here:

8009 D2C8 FFFF - 1st  16 items
8009 D2CA FFFF - 2nd  16 items
8009 D2CC FFFF - 3rd  16 items
8009 D2CE 0007 - Last  3 items

The key items are divided into four sets of 16 items, the last set having
only 3.  The way the items are enabled corresponds to the _binary_ value
of the number, i.e.:

hex:   binary:

0001 = 0000000000000001 : Item 1
0003 = 0000000000000011 : Items 1-2
0007 = 0000000000000111 : Items 1-3
00FF = 0000000011111111 : Items 1-8

You can only have item sets 1&2 or 3&4 enabled; if you mix them, the game
will slow down or lock up.  Most likely, there's two items that are
conflicting with each other, but I didn't have enough time to try all
the possibilities.

Also, certain key items (Like PHS) you can't use immediately, even though
you have that item.  That's because the use of some items are story-
driven.  You just have to wait [until they become normally usable].

(Okay, back to me!)

Obviously this code is cool because it lets you have all the items, but
as they are story-driven (like CGFM2 sez), you can't (for example),
have the Sector 5 Key in your inventory and return to Midgar City in
Disc One.  Still, though, this code is worth having (since it turns out
it's possible to make one after all).  Hopefully this code will help
put to rest a *ahem* certain rumor that stated you could return to Midgar
in Disc One....

As you play the game, you'll find, buy, and be given Materia Orbs.  When
equipped, these orbs have various functions (like Relics from FF3), and
become stronger as you use them (like the Classes from FF5j).  There are
five types of Materia:

        Green   -       Spell Materia.  When equipped, you can cast
                        spells like Lightning, Fire, Cure, Barrier, etc.
        Yellow  -       Command Materia.  These give you the ability
                        to Steal, Throw, Mimic, etc.
        Purple  -       Independent Materia.  These will increase
                        your scores, like Max HP or Speed Plus.
        Blue    -       Support Materia.  These augment the power
                        of certain other Materia.  For instance,
                        the 'Select All' Materia, when combined with
                        a Fire materia, lets you cast a fire spell on
                        all foes.
        Red     -       Summon Materia.  These let you summon monsters,
                        like Chocobo, Shiva, Bahamut, or even Typoon!

You can equip Materia from the Main Menu, and mix and match them in
any way you want.  This is how they work:

Weapons and bracelets have a certain number of 'holders' on them.  You
can equip one Materia per holder.  So, if a sword has one holder and a
bracelet has five holders, you can equip six Materia in all.  The benefit
to equipping a Materia is the skills/magic/etc. it gives you.  The bad
part is that equipping Materia tends to lower your statistics.  While
this is only temporary, you'll have to decide if you value skills or
scores more when equipping certain Materia.  To restore your stats. to
normal, simply unequip the Materia you're using.  You'll notice that
some holders aren't connected, and some are (it looks something like
this: 0=0 ).  Connected holders are used to couple an Independent
Materia with another Materia, since Independent Materia have no effect
on their own.

When you win a battle, you gain AP (Ability Points).  Each Materia has
a number of stars, representing its' 'levels'.  All Materia start off
at level 1, but can be increased to their max. level.  The more level
stars a Materia has, the stronger and more useful it becomes.  To
gain a star level, you have to gain a certain number of Ability Points,
just like raising levels or learning Esper magic (in FF3).  However,
only Materia that you have equipped earn AP.  Luckily, that Materia has
the same number of points no matter who uses it.  For example, let's
say Cloud keeps the Choco/Mog materia equipped for a long time,
and manages to raise it to level 2.  If Barret, who's never worn that
Materia before, equips it, he can also use it at level 2 strength.  When
you do 'master' a Materia (by gaining all its' levels), you will
instantly get another Materia of the same type!  Even though it will
begin at level 1 (i.e. unused), this means that you can have as many
Ultima or Bahamut materia as you want (for example), providing
you max out the ones you already have beforehand.  Be sure to sell off
Materia that you don't need; if you have a full Materia list with no
empty places and you master a materia that you have equipped, it will
appear in a random location on the list, permanently erasing the Materia
that was in it's place (guess the programmers at Square never bothered
to check that out, did they?)

You'll want to be careful if you have more than one of the same Materia,
because you have to raise them seperately.  And there's no point in
giving two of the same Materia to the same person!  Try to figure out
what Materia works best with which person (i.e. give the MAX MP Plus
Materia to a good magic-user, and give the Deathblow materia to a
character with low normal attack power).  Also, take note of the way
the holders look; if they don't have silver dots in them (like this:
O=O or just O), then you can still equip Materia, but you can't level-
up them since none of the AP you gain in battles will be distributed to
the Materia in that weapon or item.  The tradeoff is that such equipment
is usually very strong.

  9 . 2      h u g e   m a t e r i a  /  m a s t e r   m a t e r i a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Disc 2 onwards, you have the chance to find and collect four 'Huge
Materia'.  They can be gotten from these locations:

 - North Corel  (stop the train)
 - Fort Condor  (win the simulation battle)
 - Upper Junon  (go to the Underwater Reactor, get a Shinra submarine,
                sink the red submarine, and then find it underwater)
 - Rocket Town  (release it from the guard system inside the rocket)

If you fail any of these quests, you can always dig up the Huge Materia
at Bone Village in Disc 3, or at least, I've been told this by numerous
people.

PLEASE NOTE:  The Huge Materia types are NOT determined by where you
get them from, but the order you get them in!  That order is:

  Yellow Huge Materia  (from North Corel)
  Green Huge Materia   (from Fort Condor)
  Red Huge Materia     (from the sunken Shinra submarine)
  Blue Huge Materia    (from Cid's rocket)

So, if you fail the first three quests, you'll still get the 'from
North Corel' Huge Materia when you explore Cid's Rocket.  See what I
mean?

While you have to get two of the Huge Materia in order to make the game
progress during Disc 2, you don't need to collect all four of them.
However, you can get the powerful 'Master Materia' from the Huge Materia,
as well as the strongest Bahamut summon materia, 'Bahamut ZERO', so
it's advisable that you try to find them all.  You can receive the
following materia from each Huge Materia:

NAME                DESCRIPTION              PREREQUISITES
Master Magic        Cast any magic spell     Huge Green materia and a
                                             'master' level for all 21
                                             magic materia.  Note that
                                             you can't get this materia
                                             until Disc 3 as not all
                                             the Magic materia are
                                             obtainable in Disc 2.

Master Command      Use most commands        Huge Yellow materia and a
                                             'master' level for seven
                                             command materia (see below).

Master Summon       Use all summon spells    Huge Red materia and a
                                             'master' level for all 16
                                             summon materia.

Bahamut Form Zero   A summon materia         Huge Blue materia and the
                                             Bahamut and Neo Bahamut
                                             summon materia orbs.

Once you've fulfilled the prerequisites to get a certain master materia,
simply return to Bugenhagen's observatory in Cosmo Canyon and touch
the correct Huge Materia (I hope you have the Huge Materia on you/have
already taken it to the observatory in Cosmo Canyon beforehand!)  Pick
the first option and the screen will glow; pick the top option to get
your master materia or the bottom option if you want to get that
particular master materia later.  You do have to have all the mastered
materia on hand, but it doesn't matter whether they're equipped or not.

If you're trying to get Bahamut ZERO, then all you have to do is touch
the huge blue materia and you'll automatically receive it after choosing
the first option; you have to get this summon spell before you can
receive the Master Summon materia (don't forget that you need Bahamut
and Neo Bahamut, too).  There's good news and bad news, though:

 - All of the Master materia do not have level stars, so you can't
   simply 'master' them and get a second Master Materia.  Wearing
   one doesn't effect your statistics, either (so all of you who
   were hoping for a 'MAX MP +80%' or something like that will be
   disappointed!)

 - When you receive a Master materia, you lose all the materia that
   you mastered.  This means that not only will you be left with a
   bunch of low-level materia (since you get another materia of the
   same type when you master it, remember?), but you'll have to master
   each of them if you want to get a second Master materia of that
   type.  The good news is that if you have two mastered orbs of the
   same type (say, two Fires and you're trying to get the Master
   Magic materia), you'll only lose one and keep the other.  So, if
   you have two mastered Kjata materia and you get a Master Summon
   materia and want another one, you'll only have to level-up 15 orbs
   instead of 16 since one is already mastered.

Individual notes on the Master materia:

 - If you affix a combination materia like All or Random Magic
   Strike to the Master Magic orb, it will affect all the spells!
   However, not all combination materia work with each spell.

 - When you master a Summon materia, you can call a particular summoned
   beast five times.  With the Master Summon materia equipped, you can
   summon any beast an infinite number of times (providing you have the
   MP for it)!  Like the Master Magic materia, Combination materia
   attached to this orb will affect all summon spells.

 - You only have to master the Steal, Sense, Throw, Morph, Deathblow,
   Manipulate and Mime materia orbs in order to get the Master Command
   materia.  This may sound good, but then again, all you get are the
   above abilities of those materia: this orb won't let you use other
   commands like Flash, W-Item, Enemy Skill, or Slash All, for example
   (but you can equip these seperately, if you like).

 - And of course, there are no Master Support or Master Independant
   Materia :)

FUNCTION:     When a spell, summon, or Enemy Skill is used, it will be

              or wearing a Speed Plus materia, in order to take advantage
              of this relationship.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a listing of ways to use materia to their maximum effect:

MATERIA CHAINING:
To make a materia 'chain', get several materia that are of the same type
and preferably, level.  Equip them, then load up on support materia.  For
instance:

  Comet + HP Absorb, Comet + MP Absorb

This produces a single casting of 'Comet' that will absorb both HP and
MP.  Materia chains can be doubled, too:

  Counter + Steal, Steal + Steal as well, Counter + Deathblow

In this example, both Counter and Steal are doubled.  This results in
the character being hit, then stealing once, stealing  a second time,
then delivering a Deathblow attack.  You can also supplement chains
with other materia:

  W-Summon, Titan + MP Turbo, Titan + Quadra Magic

For this one, you'll cast Titan eight times and will do more damage,
because each Titan is being boosted by MP Turbo.

It isn't really a 'chain', but notice the bonus of this setup:

  Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva,
  Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva

What's the point?  I can now cast Shiva 16 times in 1 battle (or 80 times
in one battle if they were all mastered).  Okay, so maybe it's not that
useful, but it can be done :)

Here's a list of the pros and cons of materia (not all are listed
because they are obviously useful or bad, like Gil Plus and Enemy
Lure):

MP PLUS / HP PLUS
These materia can only increase your stats so high: 5 materia at 10%,
2 materia at 50%, and so forth.  Watch to make sure you aren't equipping
needless orbs if they aren't having an effect.

LONG RANGE
In addition to letting you attack from the back row without penalty,
you can also attack flying/out of reach enemies with this materia
equipped.  Don't give it to Vincent or Yuffie, because their weapons
have a 'long range' anyway.  The same applies to Barret, but not all
of his weapons are long-ranged.

MEGA ALL
This materia makes every battle command affect all targets.  It comes
in handy when used with magic, eliminating the need to attach multiple
'All' materias, and works well with command attacks.  It also changes
'Attack' into 'Slash-All' but will cancel the effects of the Double Cut
materia.

COUNTER ATTACK
Each time you're attacked, you'll make a normal physical attack, usually
against the enemy that hit you, but it is sometimes random.  Note that
attacking does not imply damage; if you are drained of MP, or miss an
attack or spell, you'll still counter-attack.

Furthermore, you'll counterattack once for every materia you have
equipped.  So, if you have 16 Counter Attack materia, you can be hit
once and then will strike back sixteen times.

SLASH-ALL
Try using the Command Counter trick along with this and you can use Steal
as well or Added Effect, etc. along with Slash-All!  This masteria is
_really_ useful in such cases as Contain + Added Effect, since you can
hit a group of enemies and (if you're lucky), petrify, paralyze and
confuse all of them!

DOUBLE-CUT
Works nicely with the Command Counter trick, especially with Steal as
well.

COVER
A great way to raise your Limit Bar, especially if you use a Hyper on
yourself.  Be sure that the character using this has high HP.  And as
long as he or she is covering others, it's in your best interest to
give that person Counter Attack, Counter, or Magic Counter materia so
that they can attack more.

HP<->MP
This materia has a very limited use, since it makes you incredibly
weak.  I suggest using it only for 'chains' of materia.  At least use
all your extra MP to cast 'Shield' on yourself so that you can stay
alive for a while.  This materia is good if you want to have a powerful
magic user, providing you stick them in the back row and make sure that
their defense is high.

W-MAGIC
Casting two spells in one turn may sound nice, but this works even
better in long materia chains, allowing you to do the sequence twice.
And if you throw in Quadra Magic, you're doing the whole thing eight
times.  On top of that (at this point, maybe you'll need HP<->MP
afterall!), someone else can then Mimic it....

W-SUMMON
See W-MAGIC, above.

W-ITEM
If you want to conserve Remedies, but a character is say, suffering from
'Minimum' and 'Poison', then use this materia so that you can use
the 'Maiden's Kiss' and 'Antidote' on them, one after another.  It's
also useful if you layer attack items (Fire Fang, then Fire Fang), or
to attack enemies and heal yourself at the same time (X-Potion,
M-Tentacles).

This materia also has a side-effect of duplicating items for free!  The
only requirement is that they have to be usable in battle.  To do it,
select the item you want to dublicate, then select another item (any
item).  Cancel that item, then choose another item, cancel that too,
etc.  Every time you cancel the second item, the first item in stock
increases by one.  That's right, infinite items!

ALL
Remember, this materia can work outside of battle (like casting Cure on
all members at once).

COUNTER
Works like Counter Attack, but you will avenge yourself with the attached
Command materia.  Note that the 'Master Command' trick won't work with
Counter, but you can equip multiple Counter materia for a repeating
effect (i.e. get hit once and strike back with a Manipulate and three
Deathblow attacks).

MAGIC COUNTER
Works like Counter, but using magic and summon spells.  Use it in the
same way.

MP TURBO
Avoid this materia like the plague.  It really isn't that helpful, even
when mastered, and the MP Cost rate shoots sky high.

MP ABSORB
Support this with something _really_ damaging, like the 'Master Command'
trick, Deathblow, Knights of Round, etc.  Only then is it
really useful.  This materia is a godsend if you're making a materia
chain, because if the total damage is high, you'll ususally get back
more MP then what it took for the casting.

HP ABSORB
The amount of HP you can win back just isn't enough to justify using
this materia.  Only good when supported by very powerful materia, like
Knights of the round.  Works okay if you do the 'Master Command, Double
Cut' trick, but only if your attack power is high.

ELEMENTAL
In my opinion, not as useful as Added Effect, but it's still good.  Not
only can you use it to inflict extra damage on enemies, but try this on
for size: if you give yourself a bracelet or accessory that drains that
particular attached element, or put the same combination on your
bracelet and your Elemental materia is mastered, you can attack yourself
and get free HP!  Elemental works well with Choco/Mog since it's the
only way in the game to attack with the wind element.

ADDED EFFECT
This is IT.  One of the most useful materia in the whole game.  Until
you find the Ribbon, attaching this to your armor along with Hades will
make you immune to seven status ailments.  Attach it to your armor and
use Destruct and you can make instant death attacks.  Even better, use
it with multiple effect materia (like Mystify or Contain), and you have
a chance of striking and hitting with all the listed effects!  See
SLASH-ALL for details.

SNEAK ATTACK
By itself, this is okay, but it really shines in a materia chain.  For
instance, try using the same materia (say three of them), attached to
Sneak Attack, Added Cut, and Steal as Well.  Now you not only got a
free use of whatever was attached to the Sneak Attack materia, but a
free attack and chance to steal, too.  The 'Master Command' trick
won't work with this materia, though.

FINAL ATTACK
This overhyped materia isn't that useful, because it won't always work.
Otherwise, try linking it to Revive or Phoenix to keep yourself alive.
Otherwise, it doesn't have much use, and as a materia chainer, it's
useless, because you'll be dead at the end of your chain ^_^;

ADDED CUT
This is an okay support materia.  Try it in a materia chain along with
HP or MP Absorb in order for a higher damage/payback total.  Works well
with just about anything, but don't link it to a spell you'd use on
your allies!

STEAL AS WELL
This is _insanely_ useful if you use it with Slash-All and the Master
Command trick.  Otherwise, try using it along with a function that is
under the influence of 'All' or 'Mega All' so that you can steal from
everyone.  If an enemy is hard to steal from, try the Master Command
trick and Double Cut for two chances to steal (or Steal + Steal as
well for two chances to steal).

QUADRA MAGIC
Another overhyped materia.  Sure you can cast a spell or summon four
times, but the effect is drastically reduced.  It's passable if
combined with W-Magic, though, and works good with percent chance
spells (such as Choco/Mog's chance of paralyzing an enemy), since
the chance is effectively quadrupled.

STEAL
Just your average materia, but lose it the moment you get Steal as
well.  'Mug' is nice but is only really useful if you use it and
Mega-All.

SENSE
Remember, after Sensing an enemy, you can see their current/maximum
HP by pressing Select and highlighting them with the cursor.  You
really should use some support materia along with this item so that
it isn't a completely wasted turn.

THROW
Believe it or not, the throw command isn't useful unless you've got
lots of one item to spare, because the damage isn't too hot.  Coin,
on the other hand, is just what the doctor ordered, but you'll need
lots of gil to use it.  Try mastering and selling All or Underwater
materia.  After all, the latter materia lets you get as much AP as
you want on it, and you can always get more by giving Guide Books to
the man in Kalm Town.

MORPH
Only useful when used along with an Ultimate Weapon, since the damage
isn't so drastically reduced.

DEATHBLOW
Works nicely as a last ditch attempt, but you're better off attaching
this to Added Cut or using in in tandem with Mega-All.  A contributor
points out that there is a way to make this ability hit _every_ time;
just give your character a weapon with 255 accuracy (the God's Hand,
Sniper CR, or Long Barrel R).

MANIPULATE
Not only does this let you control an enemy (although enemy commands
are usualyy worthless), but that enemy can't move or attack during
that time, meaning that you can kill them with spells easily (they
won't break free), and use them to hit speedy enemies (like the
cactus men on Cacteur Island).

MIME
The biggest benefit of this is that you can use it without a loss of
items or MP.  This means that if one character has a good materia
chain (say, HP<->MP, four Magic Counter materia and four Knights of
Round attached), they can use it, and then you can do the same thing
for no cost whatsoever (...as if any enemy could survive that).
The one downside to this is that if (using the above example), that
character ran out of MP halfway through, you'd only mime the
successfully cast magic/summons and not the rest.  Since 'Mime' will
mimic something more or less exactly, you can use it to imitate
using Mega-All plus Deathblow (but not Slash-All or 2x Cut).  You can
even mime your own limit breaks!

ENEMY SKILL
Not all of the enemy skills are useful, but the ones that are useful
are _really_ useful.  After all, what spell works like Angel Whisper
or Big Guard?  And between ???? makes a great comeback attack.  If
you think searching out Enemy Skills is a waste of time, then you've
got another thing coming to you.

MASTER COMMAND
Gives you a couple of commands...that's nice.  What's slick about
this orb is a little trick you can do: attach it to a support materia,
then equip a Command materia that can't be supported, namely Slash-All
or Double Cut.  You can now use non-spell related support materia twice
on one enemy or against all enemies, depending on what materia you use.

EARTH
Don't use it!  The high MP cost isn't worth it when you could use Ice
or Lightning for the same damage.  Only good if an enemy is weak against
Earth or strong against Fire/Ice/Lightning.

RESTORE
This materia and the All materia make a nice combination you should keep
using throughout the game.  Regen may seem useless, and it is, in normal
battles.  But in drawn out battles (such as most boss fights), this
spell can keep you from death's door, since you'll have enough time to
let it heal you round after round.

HEAL
Not really that useful, considering there are a number of accessories
and items with the same effect as Heal's spells.  Vaccine is
especially useless, because it actually _keeps_ you suffering from any
status ailment you may currently have.

REVIVE
If your levels are low, this one is good.  Life 2 is also very handy
along with Final Attack or when fighting powerful enemies.  But in most
cases, just keep a clutch of Phoenix Downs on you--you can get a lot
of them easily throughout the game.

SEAL / MYSTIFY / TRANSFORM
All of these are useless, except for Mystify's 'Berserk' spell, which
is best used on allies with high attack power.

EXIT
If Remove didn't cost so many MP (or prevent you from getting gil when
used), this materia'd be more useful.  Get a Smoke Bomb if you need to
run away from battles, instead.

POISON
Doesn't always work, but it's ability to cause continuous damage is
nice, even if the damage isn't that high.  Good for 'using and
forgetting' about, especially in a boss fight.

DEMI
When it works, it works nicely.  Very effective when used with All.

BARRIER
Should be used only until you get Big Guard.  Reflect isn't a great
defense because not all spells can be reflected, and in FF7, two
people with 'Reflect' will bounce the spell repeatedly.

COMET
If your character's attack power is low, give 'em Comet and that's
that.  This materia not only inflicts non-element damage, but the
damage itself is very high.  Comet 2 should be avoided, as it is
4 times weaker than Comet.

TIME
Haste and Stop.  'Nuff said.  Even Slow is useful in certain
situations.  Works nicely along with 'Added Effect'.

CONTAIN
Break and Whirlwind are this materia's key attractions; they do element
damage and they have a chance to petrify and confuse your enemy.  Equip
this one to Added Effect as soon as you can.  See SLASH-ALL for details.

FULL CURE
Skip it.  C'mon, Angel's Whisper is better than this, even!

SHIELD
Invincibility?  Sounds good to me.  Shield's short duration and high
cost reduce it's usefulness, but it makes a great comeback materia,
especially if you've got one guy left who's trying to revive his or
her friends.

ULTIMA
Not so hot--and the cost is way too high.  Whatever else, don't link
it to Quadra magic.

MASTER MAGIC
Support it with All or Quadra Magic and you can influence most of the
spells this way.

SUMMON SPELLS
Well, Choco/Mog is good in the beginning, and Alexander is great for
holy damage, as is Hades for the multiple status ailments.  Otherwise,
don't use these in battle (except for Knights of Round and Phoenix);
attach them to your weapon or armor along with Element or Added Effect.

Tip:     You can control the enemy and make it use Frog Song on you
         (pick the bottom option).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 02 - L4 SUICIDE                                         COST - 10 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  All enemies with an experience level that is a multiple of 4
         loses almost all their HP (you can't kill an enemy with this
         spell--the best you can do is reduce their HP to one point).
         In addition, they may be afflicted with the 'Minimum' status.
Learn:   Burrowing squirrel-like foes (Mu) found near the Chocobo Farm.
         
Tip:     You can't control this enemy, so you'll have to wait until they
         use it on you.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 03 - MAGIC HAMMER                                        COST - 3 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Bop one foe on the head and gain up to 100 MP (assuming
         the monster has enough MP).
Learn:   Plant-like monsters (Razor Weed)  found on the tip of the
         Westernmost Continent (in the dark grass).  
Tip:     You can control an Razor Weed and have it use the Magic
         Hammer against one of your allies (choose the third
         option).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 04 - WHITE WIND                                         COST - 34 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Each ally regains lost HP and their status ailments are cured
         and dispelled.  The amount of HP recovered depends on the
         current HP of the caster.
Learn:   The white and green cactus-like monsters (Zemzelett) in the
         grassy area by Junon Town  , or from the winged
         serpents (Wind Wing) you fight if you're hit by a barrier at
         Whirlwind Maze 
Tip:     You can't learn White Wind from a Zemzelett unless you control
         it and make it use the skill on you (pick the bottom choice to
         do this).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 05 - BIG GUARD                                          COST - 56 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Has the same effect as casting Haste, Barrier, and MBarrier on
         all your allies.
Learn:   The spiky, shelled creatures with green tentacles (Beach Plug)
         that live on the shore near the Gongaga Town.  
Tip:     The Beach Plug won't use Mighty Guard unless you control it
         and make it use the skill on one of your members (it's the
         middle option).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 06 - ANGEL WHISPER                                      COST - 50 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  An angel appears above one person and brings them back to life
         if they are dead.  They also relieve any status ailments and
         dispel any bad effects.  In addition HP is restored to the
         amount shown during the skill's use; however, this can be a
         bane to characters with high HP because if your life is higher
         than the amount shown, it is reduced to that amount.  You'd
         think that this would be a great way to weaken enemies with
         more than 9999 HP, but it won't work on your opponents in this
         manner--it will only heal them, remove status ailments, etc. :(
Learn:   From the beckoning women in the yellow swimsuits (Polan Solita)
         you meet in the Northern Crater if you take the right path the
         first time you meet your friends.  
Tip:     The easiest way to learn this skill is by controlling your
         enemy and picking the bottom option to make them use this skill
         on you.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 07 - DRAGON FORCE                                       COST - 19 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Increases your physical and Magic Plus defense rating.
Learn:   From the dragons (Dark Dragon) you meet during the descent into
         the Northern Crater.  
Tip:     You can't learn this unless you control the Dark Dragon and have
         it use Dragon Force on one of you (pick the second choice).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 08 - DEATH FORCE                                         COST - 3 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  One ally becomes immune to instant death attacks (this doesn't
         protect you from dying if you lose all your HP).
Learn:   The huge tusked turtles (Adamantaimai) by the shoreline of the
         Westmost Continent.  
Tip:     You can't learn this skill unless you control the turtle and
         make it use Death Force against you.  To do this, choose the
         bottom option once it's under your control.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 09 - FLAME THROWER                                     COST - 10 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A stream of fire burns one foe for Fire damage.
Learn:   From any enemy that utilizes a fire breath attack. One of the
         earliest locations would be the room with the ladders and
         pipes where you fight the boss of the mountains behind
         Nibelheim; you can fight Dragons in that area that use Flame
         Thrower often.    You can also learn it from the
         flying yellow monsters (Archdragon) in the Mythril Mine.
Tip:     While you could learn this skill by controlling a Dragon and
         picking the bottom choice to make it use this skill on you,
         chances are it will hit you with Flame Thrower as it's initial
         attack in the first place.  The same goes for the flying
         Archdragons.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 10 - LASER                                              COST - 16 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Reduces an enemy's HP by one-half.
Learn:   From Death Claw in the Corel Prison (in the caryard area near
         Dyne's home: just manipulate one of them).  Or, from the dragons
         (Dark Dragon) you meet during the descent into the Northern
         Crater.  
Tip:     You can either let the Dark Dragon use this ability on you, or
         you can control it (using Manipulate), and pick the top option
         to make it use Laser on one of your allies.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 11 - MATRA MAGIC                                         COST - 8 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Fire a pack of missiles at one enemy for magic damage.
Learn:   Machines with big feet and guns for arms (Sweeper Custom) around
         Midgar Area.    Or from the wheeled robo-creatures in
         the underwater part of Junon Town.  
Tip:     To learn this skill from the Sweeper Custom, just control it
         and choose the last option.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 12 - BAD BREATH                                         COST - 58 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Inflict multiple status ailments upon all enemies, including
         Confusion, Frog, Minimum (Shrink), Mute, Poison, and Sleepel.
Learn:   From the Mobor creatures (green guys with tentacles and really
         big mouths) living on the outside ledges in Gaea's Cliff.
           You can also meet them in the Northern Crater, if
         you take the right path the first time you run into your
         friends.  
Tip:     Be sure to have some protective accessories equipped when trying
         to learn this skill or your party may be too weakened by the
         Smelly Breath to kill the Molbor or even escape!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 13 - BETA                                               COST - 35 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A swirling red shape appears, surrounded by specks of white.
         All targets are hit for magic damage.
Learn:   The big shadow snake (Midgar Zolom) in the marsh near the
         Chocobo Farm.  
Tip:     This monster won't use Beta unless he's waving back and forth.
         To make him do that, inflict heavy damage on him.  Then just
         wait until he uses Beta.  If he still doesn't use it, take off
         a little bit of his life since he tends to use Beta more when
         he's near death.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 14 - AQUALUNG                                           COST - 34 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Blue bubbles strike all enemies for water damage.
Learn:   From the Jenova Birth in the Forgotten Capital , the
         Harpy in the plains surrounding the Gold Saucer  ; or
         from the floating sea-dragon creature (Serpent) in the sunken
         plane near the Gold Saucer.  
Tip:     To easily pick up this skill, just control a Harpy and choose
         the bottom option to make it use Aqualung.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 15 - TRINE                                              COST - 20 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A Delta Force-like attack that hits all enemies for lighting
         damage.
Learn:   Godo, of the pagoda's top floor in Wutai.
           Also from the red spider/crab-like creature (Stilve)
         living inside the Frozen Mountain , or the spider-like
         boss (Materia Keeper) of the mountains behind Nibelheim.  .  Remember, the _only_ time you can learn this skill is while
         fighting one of the above monsters, so learn it while you still
         can!
Tip:     Actually, the Materia Keeper is more likely to use this against
         your characters than any other enemy that can use this skill.
         It's a good thing, too, since you can't control it.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 16 - MAGIC BREATH                                     COST - 75 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Rainbow orbs hit all foes for fire, ice, and lighting damage.
Learn:   From the red spider/crab-like creatures (Stilve) living inside
         the Frozen Mountain.    Also from the blue, leech-like
         enemies (Parasite) in the Northern Crater.  
Tip:     To learn this skill from a Parasite quickly, control it and
         pick the last option to have it use Magic Breath on your
         allies.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 17 - ????                                                COST - 3 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A weight drops and hits for special damage.  The amount is
         equal to the amount of damage the caster has received in
         battle.
Learn:   From the balance-like creatures (Jersey) in Nibelheim.
           Also from the purple behemoths (Behemoth) you
         encounter when raiding Midgar City.    Keep in mind
         that you won't actually learn this skill unless you take damage
         from it.
Tip:     The Jersey will use this skill eventually.  You can't control
         them, but they're easier to run into than the Behemoths.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 18 - GOBLIN PUNCH                                        COST - 0 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  One foe is hit for physical damage.  The damage inflicted is
         multiplied if your opponent has the same EXP level that you
         do.
Learn:   Imp-like monsters wearing boxing gloves :) (Goblin) found on the
         only forested island in the northeast area of the map.  
Tip:     You can control the Goblins if you want (pick the middle option
         to use the Goblin Punch), but it's more likely that they'll hit
         you with it in the first place, so don't even bother and just
         let them strike first.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 19 - CHOCOBUCKLE                                         COST - 3 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A fat chocobo bounces around and hits one foe for special
         damage.  This attack gains strength each time you flee from a
         battle.
Learn:   Purchase some Mimett Greens from the Chocobo Barn, and make sure
         you have L4 Suicide.  There are chocobos living outside of the
         barn that you can use L4 Suicide on, so when you fight one of
         them, use a Mimett Greens on it, then cast L4 Suicide.  With
         luck, it will counterattack with Chocobuckle (Disc 1).  You can
         also learn this on Mideel Island in Disc 2 or 3 from the
         Chocobos living there.
Tip:     Make sure the chocobo you fight has a level that's a multiple
         of 4, or the L4 Suicide power won't work.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 20 - L5 DEATH                                           COST - 22 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  Any enemy whose level is a multiple of 5 is instantly killed.
Learn:   From the blue, leech-like enemies (Parasite) in the Northern
         Crater.  
Tip:     Simply use Manipulate to command your foe and then choose the
         middle option if you want the Parasite to use Level 5 Death
         on one of your members.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 21 - DEATH SENTENCE                                     COST - 10 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  One enemy is Condemned (they die when the counter over their
         head reaches zero).
Learn:   The Sneaky Steps in the Sealed Cave   Also from
         the yellow, spiked enemies (Bound Fat) that live in front of
         and in the area behind the Forgotten Capital.  
Tip:     You could control these guys (the Bound Fats), but if you kill
         one it will counterattack with this skill so it may be easier to
         simply off one, especially if you don't have the Manipulate
         materia.  If you do, then simply control them and pick the
         bottom option to use the Death Sentence.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 22 - ROULETTE                                            COST - 6 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  One friend or foe is randomly killed.
Learn:   From the floating card-jesters (Death Dealer) in the Northern
         Crater if you take the right path the first time you meet your
         friends.  
Tip:     You can control the Death Dealer and make him use Roulette on
         you by picking the second option when the enemy abilities
         window appears.  If it kills one of your enemies, you'll have to
         try again until the pointer lands on you.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 23 - SHADOW FLARE                                      COST - 100 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A black flare hits a single opponent for magic damage.
Learn:   From the Ultimate Weapon in Disc 3; it uses it as a
         counterattack before dying.  Or, learn it from the Dragon
         Zombies in the Northern Crater.  
Tip:     If you're fighting the flying dragon, just kill it and it will
         use the Shadow Flare on you.  If you're trying to learn it from
         a Dragon Zombie, you'll have to wait until it uses it since you
         can't control them.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAR 24 - PANDORA'S BOX                                     COST - 110 MP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effect:  A star field and question mark appear; hits all enemies for
         physical damage.
Learn:   From the huge, multi-limbed bone dragons (Dragon Zombie) in
         the Northern Crater if you take the right path the first time
         you meet your friends.  
Tip:     As the Dragon Zombies are uncontrollable, you'll simply have
         to keep fighting them until they use this skill on one of
         your characters.

To learn an enemy skill, you must be equipped with an Enemy Skill
materia.  When an enemy hits you with it's special skill, you will learn
it, even if it misses or kills you.  However, unless you win the battle,
you won't keep the skill you've learned.  There are 24 skills in all, and
one of the 24 stars on the Materia Menu will light up as you get more
enemy skills.  Note that you can't learn a skill and then have your
player cast it on another person with an Enemy Skill materia; they _must_
learn it from enemies.  You'll know if you learned a skill because the
character with the materia equipped will spin in a circle once and you'll
get a message.  Keep in mind that if you're controlling a monster to
learn a particular skill, you'll have to target the character wearing the
Enemy Skill materia.

For those of you who would like a more definitive guide, here is a list
that shows the earliest point at which you can learn each skill as you
play through the game:

   Mythril Mine.
 - Learn 'White Wind' by manipulating a Zemlezett (found in the area

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of people don't know how the process to learn Limit Breaks works,
or they may not know how to learn all the Breaks.  Basically, the Limit
Break mastery process goes like this:

Level 1, first Limit Break:
 - You start with this one, so don't sweat it.

Level 1, second Limit Break:
 - You must use your first Limit Break of that level eight times.

Level 2, first Limit Break:
 - Kill 80 enemies.  You don't have to win that battle, you just have
   to be the one to kill a particular enemy (i.e. give them the finishing
   blow) using the character who's trying to learn a new Break.  You can
   kill them in any way, too; use magic, use Morph, use an item,
   whatever.  The number of enemies you have to kill is only 60 for
   Vincent.

Level 2, second Limit Break:
 - You must use your first Limit Break of that level six times.

Level 3, first Limit Break:
 - See 'Level 2, first Limit Break' notes.

Level 3, second Limit Break:
 - You must use your first Limit Break of that level four times.

Level 4, Extreme Limit Break:
 - You must know all your other Limit Breaks.  Then, select your
   character's 'Extreme Limit Break' manual and use it on them just
   as you would any other item.  See below for details on finding
   your character's Extreme Limit Break manual.

When you're trying to learn first-grade Limit Breaks, try giving your
character the Slash All materia, the Ultima spell, or some attack spell
and the All materia and finding an area where you can encounter many,
easy to kill enemies at once.  As for second-grade Limit Breaks, use a
'Hyper' on the character who's Limit Break you're trying to get, and
give them the Cover materia so that they'll take more damage.  If you're
really desperate to learn a Limit Break, give them a weak bracelet
(like Wizard Bracelet), and a weak weapon, so that they can Limit Break
repeatedly without killing the enemy.

Roger Christman has this to say about Limit Breaks:

Also regarding Level 2, and Level 3 Limit Breaks:
I thought I'd study this a little on my own, and played the game
with Cloud hanging out in the first room of the Mako 5 reactor,
fighting lots of MPs and Guard Hounds.  Counting the train station
as his first solo battle with two opponents, Cloud did not learn
his Level 2 break until he won over 40 solo battles against 120
opponents.  The FAQ says between 40-80 opponents must be killed.

Furthermore, Barret and Tifa seemed to get their 2nd Level break
after only 90 kills, but I could easily see Cloud having a larger
requirement since he's used for most of the game.  In Tifa's case,
since her weapon wasn't very good, I had Cloud soften up a few
opponents for her by sitting in his back rank.  Even though she
didn't do all the work herself, she did deliver 90 final blows
before she got her break.

Oddly enough, Barret got his first level 3 Limit break before I
left the Mako 5 reactor, even though he was still Set on level 1.
I don't have my notes with me, but I think he had gotten up to
about 150 killing blows.  My numbers started getting fuzzy, since
I was letting everybody fight there for awhile.  I had Cloud set
his Limit Level to 2, after his 200th kill (and after he got his
2nd Level 1 Break), but he hasn't yet gotten a level 3.

For the record, in my test game, (assuming my bookkeeping is totally
off), Cloud and Tifa each got their second Level 1 break, after
using their first 6 times.  I don't know about Barret yet -- his
Limit Bar filled up for his 6th break just before the defeat of
the Air Buster, so I'll have to see about him when he comes back.

(back to the FAQ)

In other words, my method listed here won't _for sure_ get you all
the limit breaks exactly.  So if someone can correct me (and has
proof that they are correct), let me know and I'll make corrections.

The Extreme Limit Break manuals' locations are listed here:

   CLOUD STRIFE
   You must earn a varying number of battle points at the Gold Saucer
   in _one visit_.  You can then trade them in for the manual.

   BARRET WALLACE
   Get it from a lady wearing a hat in one of the buildings in North
   Corel after the train ride in Disc 2.

   TIFA LOCKHEART
   Go to Nibelheim in Disc 2 and play the 'Highwind' theme on the
   piano with Tifa in your party.

   AERIS GAINSBOROUGH
   Get xx wins in battle (where xx are two odd digits, for example: 33,
   175 or 291).  Then go to the cave where the sleeping man is and
   he'll give you the Mythril.  Head to the blacksmith's house by the
   Gold Saucer, give him the Mythril, then climb up the stairs and
   examine the metal lid at the end of the walkway.  Once you get the
   Highwind, doing this is a snap.  But Aeris will have already left you
   by then.  So, to get her manual while she's still in your party in
   Disc 1, do the following:

   Hop on the Gold Saucer Buggy.  If you haven't gotten it yet, keep
   playing until you've finished the Gold Saucer area.  Then pilot the
   Buggy _into_ Costa Del Sol.  You'll enter the town as if you had
   walked into it.  Go to the harbor and talk to the sailor by the boat.
   Choose the top option to pay 100 gil and you can then walk along the
   dock and enter a ship, which will return to Junon Town.  Although
   there's not much new here, you will get a different reaction from
   most people because you're no longer dressed up as a guard.  Anyway,
   once you exit the city (the fastest way is to take the helicopter--
   refer to the end of section 4e for details), you'll find that you've
   brought the Buggy with you!  From here, it's a simple matter of
   heading towards the river, crossing it at the ford below the
   waterfall, then heading up to the cave where the sleeping man is.
   And after getting the Mythril, you have to go _all_ the way back to
   the Eastern Continent so you can reach the blacksmith's house.
   Well, don't say I didn't warn you!

   RED XIII
   Go to Nibelheim and unlock the safe in the right wing of Sephiroth's
   Mansion (use the code in section 8 if you don't know how).  You'll
   receive Red 13's manual from the boss when you defeat him.

   YUFFIE KISARAGI
   Return to Wutai after completing Yuffie's sub-quest.  Head to the
   pagoda and beat the five bosses within--she'll get her manual once
   Godo is defeated in battle.

   VINCENT VALENTINE
   Once you have the submarine or a Green, Black, or Gold Chocobo, go to
   the waterfall in the middle of the Western Continent.  If you enter
   the waterfall from the left side with Vincent in your party, he'll
   meet a girl from his past (Rukuresshia).  You have to visit the falls
   twice, once during Disc 2 and again before raiding Midgar City; it's
   during your second visit that you'll get his manual.

   CID HIGHWIND
   After you get a submarine, go underwater and search for the wrecked
   plane near the southern part of the World Map, between the Western
   and Eastern continents.  His manual is in one of the treasure chests
   inside the plane.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a list of each character's Limit Break, it's effect, and a brief
description.  The letters and numbers mean the Break Level and which one
it is (i.e. B3/1 is Level 3, 1st Break):

============
Cloud Strife
============

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: BRAVER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud dashes forward and performs a diving slash against one opponent.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/2: CROSS-SLASH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud's three slashes create a symbol over his enemy.  When it fades
away, that enemy is hit once.  It also has a chance of paralyzing the
hit foe.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: BLADE BEAM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud sends a wave of green energy at the targeted foe.  When it hits,
smaller waves shoot outward to hit each remaining foe, although the
damage is less than the first, big wave.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: CLIMHAZZARD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud sticks his sword into an enemy and then yanks it upwards while
jumping for heavy damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: METEORAIN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud twirls his sword and leaps into the air.  With one swing, he sends
a shower of meteors down upon his foes, hitting 4 times.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: FINISHING TOUCH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating a light at the tip of his sword, Cloud throws a funnel of rising
air that sucks in all opponents for an instant kill attack. Those that
survive are dropped to the ground for further physical damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: OMNISLASH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A column of wind surrounds Cloud and his sword lights up.  He then
attacks all enemies for a total of 15 hits, finishing with a diving sword
slash.  The sword strikes cause physical damage.


==============
Barret Wallace
==============

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: BIG SHOT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collecting energy, Barret fires a huge fireball at one opponent.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/2: MINDBLOW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similar in appearance to the Heavy Shot, Barret launches a ball of azure
energy at one opponent.  While it inflicts no damage, it completely
drains that enemy of MP.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: GRENADE BOMB
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barret fires an invisible shot that explodes into a huge hemisphere of
fire that damages all opponents.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: HAMMERBLOW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barret dashes forward and punches one enemy as purple waves emanate from
his arm.  If it misses, this attack causes no damage, but if it hits,
the enemy is instantly killed.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: SATELLITE BEAM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barret locks on to his enemies and calls down beams of blue light to
fry the opposition.  This attack hits for special damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: UNGARMAX
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using his weapon like a machine gun, Barret fires repeated rounds of
ammunition at all opponents.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: CATASTROPHE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steam erupts from Barret's weapon as he leaps into the air and fires an
earth-scorching beam of yellow light at all his enemies.  This attack
hits ten times in all for special damage.


==============
Tifa Lockheart
==============

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: BEAT RUSH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick combination of punches.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/2: SOMERSAULT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A somersault kick.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: WATERKICK
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A sweep kick that hits for water damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: METEODRIVE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A back-slam.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: DOLPHIN BLOW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A rising uppercut accompanied by a geyser of water with a dolphin riding
on top of it.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: METEOR SLAM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tifa grabs her opponent, jumps in the air, and body-slams them as a
huge explosion appears.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: FINAL HEAVEN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tifa strikes her enemy with a huge, exploding attack.


*  Tifa's Limit Break works like this; the more Limit Breaks she learns,
   the more slots appear in the slot machine that picks the skill she
   uses (the abilities listed above).  When she gains a new Break, she
   is able to use a new attack.  She can learn up to 10 slots total.
   When picking a slot, there are three outcomes: HIT, which makes Tifa
   perform one of the above attacks, YEAH!, which works like HIT but
   increases the damage inflicted, and MISS, which makes Tifa do nothing.
   Tifa will then proceed to perform all the moves you end up with in
   a row.  She will randomly switch to a new enemy (or stay with the one
   she's attacking) for each new move.


==================
Aeris Gainsborough
==================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: HEALING WIND
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aeris creates an encircling wind that restores a large amount of lost
HP to herself and her friends.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/2: SEAL EVIL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purple lights fly into all of Aeris's opponents.  This attack causes
no damage but has the same effect as 'Stop' and 'Silence' on all of them.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: BREATH OF THE EARTH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Streams of blue light wrap around the allies, curing status ailments.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: FURY BRAND
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

allies, followed by yellow, circular lights.  This will instantly max
out the other characters' Limit gauges.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stars rotate around Aeris and her friends as the screen turns yellow,
making them invincible for a short while.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: PULSE OF LIFE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

gain back all lost HP and MP.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: GREAT GOSPEL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rain falls upon Aeris and her companions.  It is replaced by a bright
sky where three angels can be seen floating around.  All allies have
their HP and MP restored, and are made invincible for a short time.


======
Red 13
======

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: SLED FANG
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swirls of blue energy surround Red 13, who tackles his opponent for
physical damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/2: LUNATIC HIGH
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheets of yellow vapor shoot up from around Red 13 and his companions.
It has the same affect as 'Haste'.  Each ally is also 'powered up' (?).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: BLOOD FANG
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swirls of energy surround Red 13, who tackles his opponent.  In addition
to striking for physical damage, Red is healed for a small amount of HP
and also gains back some MP as well.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: STARDUST RAY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A field of stars replaces the background.  Red 13 howls and a shower of
blue lights rain down on all opponents striking twelve times.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: HOWLING MOON
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A full moon appears, making Red 13 leap up and howl at it.  He is
affected by Berserk and Haste at the same time.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: EARTH RAVE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red 13 attacks the enemy with jumping bites and claw scratches.  Each
time he attacks, balls of fire burst forth and shower over the enemy.
This attack hits five times for physical and fire damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: COSMO MEMORY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red 13 summons a flare into which a field of stars and balls of fire are
absorbed.  The flare then explodes in a ray of Fire followed by an
explosion that hits all foes for fire damage.


===============
Yuffie Kisaragi
===============

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: GREASED LIGHTNING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie slashes once with her weapon, causing no damage.  A second slash
mark then appears and her opponent is hit for physical damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/2: CLEAR TRANQUIL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Globes of water surround Yuffie and her companions.  When they pop open,
each character regains some HP.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: LANDSCAPER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie hits the ground and a line of blast waves heads towards her
enemy.  The ground buckles, then explodes, inflicting earth damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: BLOODFEST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The screen turns red and Yuffie hits all enemies with her weapon 10
times for physical damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: GAUNTLET
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie creates a blue light beneath all her opponents.  A column of blue
light bursts upward, hitting every one for special dmaage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: DOOM OF THE LIVING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The screen turns blue as Yuffie leaps from enemy to enemy, striking for
a total of 15 hits.  With each hit, purple light flashes from her weapon.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: ALL CREATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuffie creates a swirling circular mass of red, purple, and white light.
Out of it fires a large beam of white light that damages all enemies for
special damage.


=========
Cait Sith
=========

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: DICE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cait's stuffed moogle throws several dice to the ground.  The score that
is rolled determines how much damage the targeted enemy will receive.

Paul Arezina has this to say about using the 'Dice' limit break:

"Cait Sith throws more dice as his level rises, and the damage dealt is
equal to the score on the dice times 100.  But wait, there's more. If you
get a double among the dice, the total amount of damage is doubled.  Same
goes for higher numbers: if you get a triple on the dice the total damage
is tripled, and if four or five match... fear Cait Sith rolling five
6's."


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: SLOTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A slot machine appears.  Depending on what you pick, a different result
will occur, although sometimes you'll get a pre-set pattern of slots no
matter what:

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 -                                       3 bars
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Cait Sith randomly calls upon a summoned monster.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - TOY SOLDIER                                                   3 crowns
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Six toy soldiers appear and fire at all enemies for special damage.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - MOOGLE DANCE                                                   3 stars
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   A moogle (from the 'Summon Chocobo & Moguri' spell) appears and does
   a dance that completely restores each members' HP and MP.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - LUCKY GIRL                                                    3 hearts
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   A cat-girl appears and all allies make critical hits for the remainder
   of the battle.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - COMBINE                                                      3 moogles
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Cait's allies disappear and his moogle grows twice as large, gaining
   9999 HP and 999 MP.  In this form, he can do anything but use Limit
   Breaks, and his attacks cause more damage.  When the battle is over,
   everyone's current HP and MP drop to 1/3rd their former amount.  He
   can't use this ability if there are less than 3 allies.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - GAME OVER                                                      3 faces
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   All enemies facing you are instantly killed.  This ALWAYS works
   against any enemy.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - DEATH JOKER                                            face, face, bar
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   All allies are instantly killed.  There's no way to avoid this, even
   with the help of accessories like the Safety Bit or an Enemy Skill
   such as Death Force.


   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 - TOY BOX                                          any other combination
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   A random object is dropped on one enemy, inflicting physical damage.
   It can be a Hell House, Huge Chocobo, Magic Hammer, icicles, a
   boulder, or a Comet 2-like meteor attack.  Just like when you attack
   normally, it's possible to hit for extra damage (like making a
   critical hit attack).


==================
Vincent Valentine*
==================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: GALIAN BEAST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

   damage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Morph changes Vincent into a Frankenstein's Monster.

   Vincent jumps and punches one enemy.

 - 
   Vincent pounds his chest and fires electricity at all enemies, which
   strikes for lightning damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: HELLMASKER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent transforms into a Jason look-alike, complete with chainsaw and
hockey mask.

 - 
   Vincent attacks 5 times with his saw.

 - 
   A poison gas with skulls flying out of it appears and afflicts an
   enemy with Silence, Sleepel, and Toad ailments in addition to causing
   poison damage and Confusion.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: CHAOS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vincent turns into a skull-faced demon with bat wings.

 - CHAOS SABER
   Vincent slashes all foes with his wings.

 - SATAN SLAM
   The ground rises in the shape of a skull and it's eyes flash, causing
   an instant death attack.  The survivors are attacked by orange skulls
   that hit for special damage.

*  At the start of any of Vincent's Limit Breaks, his HP is doubled and
   is filled up to it's maximum amount.  It returns to normal afterwards.
   Also, Vincent can still be affected by status changes while in another
   form (such as Minimum or Poison).  While transformed, Vincent is
   uncontrollable and will randomly perform one of his form's two attacks
   when his Time bar is maxed out.


==========
Cid Hiwind
==========


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: BOOST JUMP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cid performs a diving slash to one enemy.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using his cigarette, Cid lights a stick of dynamite and tosses it at
his enemies, causing a damaging explosion.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/1: HYPER JUMP

Cid spins into the sky and drives his weapon into the ground, which is
covered in a blue light.  Upon pulling it out, all enemies are damaged.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B2/2: DRAGON
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A serpent-like dragon flies from behind Cloud and encircles one enemy
before flying away.  HP and MP stolen from the target are given to Cid.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/1: DRAGON DIVE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cid leaps in the air and comes down with his weapon 6 times, creating a
column of multi-colored energy each time he lands that causes damage.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B3/2: BIG BRAWL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cid pokes and impales opponents with his weapon 8 times while dust rises
around him.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B4/1: HIGHWIND
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cid calls down a barrage of missiles (from the Highwind, I guess?) to
strike all enemies repeatedly.


===========
YOUNG CLOUD
===========

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't really exist; it's just a name (Cait's B1/1, in fact)


=========
SEPHIROTH
=========

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
B1/1: 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't really exist; it's just a name (Vincent's B1/1, in fact)


NOTES
- Words in CAPS are the translated name.
- Words in (  ) are the English name (from the FF7 demo disk).
- Words in <  > are the guessed English name.
- 'x' means that I don't know the character and couldn't
  translate it.
- 'Physical' is damage caused by your weapon which you can lessen using
  Barrier.  'Elemental' is element damage (fire, ice, lightning, etc.)
  that you can lessen using accessories and to which some enemies are
  immune.  'Special' damage is from an attack that can't be defended
  against/avoided by any means short of invincibility.
- Yes, I used the GameShark to see Young Cloud and Sephiroth's Breaks.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  9 . 8      u l t i m a t e   w e a p o n s
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Truly the best in offensive weaponry, the Ultimate Weapons can make
mincemeat out of even the strongest opponent (like there are any :)).

Ultimate weapons have zero Materia growth, but have eight holders, and
every two holders are linked.  When using the 'Morph' materia, the
amount of damage inflicted drops to 1/8th, but with an Ultimate Weapon,
the amount only drops to 1/3rd.  There are also special ways to increase
the amount of damage these weapons do.

The only exception is Aeris' Ultimate Weapon, which has seven holders
and can gain AP.  The Ultimate Weapons are:

Cloud Strife's 'Ultima Weapon':
 * Kill the Ultimate Weapon during Disc 2 or 3 to get the Ultima Weapon.
   This weapon does damage based on the (lack of) difference between
   Cloud's current HP and maximum HP.  In other words, the fuller your
   life is, the more damage you do.  Note that this isn't similar to
   the way the Atma Weapon worked in FF3.

Barret Wallace's 'Missing Score':
 * Stick Barett in your party while climbing up the stairs to the Mako
   Cannon during the raid on Midgar during Disc 2.  If Barett's in your
   party, a chest will be visible on one of the landings that contains
   his Ultimate Weapon.  To empower Barett's weapon, attach materia to
   it that have lots of AP (such as mastered materia).

Tifa Lockheart's 'Premium Heart':
 * Get the Sector 5 Key and return to Midgar during Disc 2 or 3.  Go to
   the Wall Market and enter the building labled "Item".  Examine the
   computer and you'll get her weapon.  During a battle, Tifa's weapon
   does more damage the closer she gets to maxing her Limit Break.
   If she does a Limit Break and misses one of the slots, the weapon's
   power will momentarily increase, then lessen.

Aeris Gainsborough's 'Princess Guard':
 * While exploring the Ancient Temple during Disc 1, open the chest in
   one of the corridors connected to the clock puzzle room in order to
   get the Princess Guard.  If her allies are in critical condition
   or are killed, the power of her weapon shoots up.

Red XIII's 'Limited Moon':
 * Prior to the raid on Midgar City in Disc 2, or during any time in
   Disc 3, go to Cosmo Canyon with Red XIII in you party.  Bugen Hagen
   will give him his Ultimate Weapon before dying.  The Limited Moon
   does more damage depending on how much current MP Red has, just
   like how the Ultima Weapon's ability to inflict damage depends on
   Cloud's current HP to maximum HP.

Yuffie Kisaragi's 'Conformer':
 * Her Ultimate Weapon is found in one of the chests in the wrecked
   Shinra plane that's lying on the sea floor.  When fighting enemies,
   if they are of a level higher than Yuffie's, she does more damage
   per hit.

Cait Sith's 'HP Shout':
 * Found in the back row of lockers on Floor 64 of the Shinra HQ,
   during the raid on Midgar City in Disc 2.  Just like the Ultima
   Weapon, Cait does more damage depending on how close his
   current HP is to his maximum HP.

Vincent Valentine's 'Death Penalty':
 * Put Vincent in your party and visit Lucresia during Disc 2 or 3;
   she's in the Waterfall Cavern on the Western Continent and you can get
   there using a Green Chocobo or the submarine.  You should go here as
   soon as you're able to.  Then, visit Lucresia again at a later point,
   and you'll find the Death Penalty and his Chaos Manual lying in the
   cavern.  The Death Penalty's power raises in proportion to how many
   enemies Vincent has killed since joining your group.

Cid Highwind's 'Venus Gospel':
 * After the Rocket Huge Materia Quest, return to Rocket Town.  Talk to
   the old man who gave Cloud the Yukiyoshi.  Chat with him repeatedly
   and he'll produce the Venus Gospel for Cid.  Like Red's Limited Moon,
   the amount of damage this weapon does depends on how close Cid's
   current MP is to his maximum MP.

SEPHIROTH - KATANA  _____________________________________________________
Masamune               99     255     6c

 - The materia description acts as if this item has no holders.  You can
   only get this weapon by using the Item Select GS code (look elsewhere
   in the FAQ for details).  It appears with a handgun icon, as if it
   were a weapon for Vincent, but he cannot equip it.  Equipping it on
   Sephiroth is kinda useless since he already has one.

This section is a list of each shop in the game and what you can purchase
there.  Please keep the following notation in mind:

Bracelet    - a bracelet anyone can wear.  'd' means 'Defense Power'
              and the number afterwards shows what your defense power
              will be changed to if this bracelet is equipped.  Next
              to that is a number and a letter; this indicates the
              number of Materia holders and whether they are single
              (s), or combined (c).
Weapon      - a weapon.  The name next to it indicates who can wield
              it.  'a' means 'Attack Power' and the number afterwards
              shows what your attack power will be changed to if this
              weapon is carried.  Next to that is a number and a
              letter; this indicates the number of Materia holders and
              whether they are single (s), or combined (c).  'None'
              means that that weapon has no Materia holders.

All the statistics below apply to all three discs.  If the goods for
sale or prices change from one disc to the next, then it will say
'(location) - DISC #' afterwards, which is why a location may be listed
more than once.

This section lists each monster in the game and gives it's statistics,
what you can win from it, where it's found at, and other information,
all shown below.

PLEASE NOTE!  This section was based on a document written by someone
from the Final Fantasy 7 Database Index (sp?)  All I did was translate
it into English and alphabetize it.  I can't answer questions about
this section because I haven't fully verified everything yet.  If you
didn't catch that the first time, proper credit goes to whoever wrote
this.  If you know the URL of the Final Fantasy 7 Database Index (?),
or the name of the person who wrote the original file, please let me
know so I can give them proper credit.

Thanks to WhisQ for rewriting the list!  Aside from the SOLDIER classes,
names that are capitalized indicate monsters who's stats WhisQ isn't
sure of.

Oh, and please refer to Part One of the FAQ for info on the Diamond,
Ruby, and Emerald weapons.

_____________________________________________  LAST BATTLE WITH SEPHIROTH
  (Sephiroth)
  LV: ??          EXP: n/a         Steal: n/a

  Notes: You can only attack him using Cloud's Level 4 Limit Break
         (even if you don't have it yet).  Even an attack that does
         0 points of damage will kill him (via a GameShark :)).
         Sephiroth cannot kill you, even if you let him strike first.
         And if he does, you will automatically counterattack.
         There's no way to lose this battle, in other words.

Please refer to Part 2 (Extra Stuff You Should Know) of my Japanese
FF7 FAQ for infomation on rumors.  FYI, the Underwater materia has
been made into a real item (it's purpose is not to revive Aeris), and
Baakusa, for those of you who didn't know yet, is not a name, but
is 'Boxer' spelled in katakana.  In the Japanese version of FF7 at
least, you could see Baakusa's face on the memory save files if you
kept saving and then checking your PSX's memory.  I don't know if it
is still possible in this version, though.

Here are the documents the 'Rumors and Speculaton' section was based
upon (it was also based upon personal experience, use of GS codes, and
newsgroup discussions, particularly in alt.games.final-fantasy).  All
have been edited for space and so that they could fit this guide.

(KM's note - please refer to Part 2 of my FF7 FAQ for documents info.)

  (1.1)  More materia stats taken from their book.

Anybody who sends me information that I don't already have (and can use
in the FAQ) is given credit in the Special Thanks section.  If I come
across some information that I'd like to use, I'll e-mail that person
and ask for permission.  However, if I don't get a response, then I'll
use it anyway.  So if you see your work up here and it says 'taken
without permission' that means that I've already e-mailed you asking
if I could use it.  I'm not trying to disrespect contributors, though,
and if this happens to you and you have a problem with it, drop me a
line...no offense is intended.  Also, if anyone in this section doesn't
want their e-mail address or URL shown, drop me a line and I'll gladly
change it in the next update.

THE IDIOT LIST

Here we go, folks!  It's version 2 of the 'Idiot List' (which first
appeared in my Japanese FF7 FAQ.  I'm happy to say that it's caught on
and several other FAQ writers are now using it in their FAQs, too).

The following people are idiots:

 - Raymond Heng  

This guy wrote a GameShark codes FAQ with various people's copied codes
in it (including Jeff Wong's, a fellow contributor).  What's worse is
that he not only rips my Item and Materia Select codes, but then goes on
to say how long it took him to make them, etc.  If so why do those codes
have the _exact_ same format and spelling mistakes as my codes?  He then
says that he got the names out of Versus Books' guide...yeah, sure.  The
only thing that doesn't make sense is that if he's testing out the codes
as he makes them (he had to, to get the variables) why not use the names
that are in the game?  That question answers itself!

 - MadCow (Jeremy Sherman)  

This idiot ripped my FAQ and turned it into a PAGE.  Yes, I'm absolutely
serious, he made an entire web page based on a cut-up version of my
FAQ, and not only omitted my name but the list of contributors!  This
is the same person who e-mailed me and asked me to join his web ring.
Which brings me to my next point:

Please DON'T join the FINAL FANTASY HEAVEN WEB RING!!!!  It was not only
created by this MadCow fellow, but he's been distributing the ripped
version of my FAQ to other people (Thanks "Vincent" for coming clean and
also boycotting this web ring!)  Please, folks, there are plenty of
worthy web rings out there.  If you're part of this ring, please get off
it and join another one.

 - Game Cave  

I'm looking at the e-mail right now in which one of the head workers at
the Die Hard Gamer's Clu...I mean, "Game Cave" says that 'if people
paid a little extra, they could get our translations...and your guide
as a bonus'.  He's apparently under the impression that since people
were not paying for my guide directly, it doesn't mean that he's using
it for promotional purposes.  But they can't get it unless they pay
for the translations, right?  This guy also tried to bribe me, but
that's another story.  Remember folks, this is a COMPANY I'm talking
about, not some 'Net low-life.  Please don't buy from this company, as
there are better mail-order places out there (sadly, CGN is going out
of business, but NCS also comes to mind; check it out at www.ncsx.com)

 - Mark 

What, are you going to submit my FAQ piece by piece to Sega Sages?
At least take the time to find out the English names instead of using
my untranslated info.  You even wrote it in all caps (URA)!  Just like
my FAQ, gee...it makes you wonder.

 - Lord Gares

Used my stuff after carefully cutting out my name...so what else is new?
Someone e-mailed him about it, and he responded by saying that he was
'wondering if anyone would notice'.  Well, I did, so here you are in the
Idiot List along with all the others.

On a related note, this guy has a web ring called the LORD GARES WEB
RING, which I urge you not to join, for the obvious reason that he's
yet another FAQ-ripper.

If you violate my disclaimer and I have ample evidence, you WILL be
added to this list, no questions asked.  Feel free to prove your
innocence (no one's bothered to complain to me yet except for Game
Cave, but they're an exception because of the circumstances mentioned
above), by e-mailing me, otherwise, hey, you asked for it.  I don't
consider myself to be a malicious person but I do not write FAQs so
that they can be abused.


=========================================================================
1 1 .    A  U  T  H  O  R  '  S      N  O  T  E
=========================================================================

Whew!  Here you are at the end of yet _another_ FAQ.  I must say, FF7 is
getting a little boring at this point :)  In all seriousness, I hope you
enjoyed the FAQ and found it useful.

You can also see this FAQ and other good stuff at:

              www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Pagoda/4610/

Which is my own homepage (I finally have one)!  Much thanks to Charles
Mac Donald for hosting all my FAQs (including this one) in the past at
his own formerly space-deprived site
  which I suggest
you visit if you are interested in computer programming, the Yaroze,
or the demo scene.

Assuming it was an isolated incident, I didn't bother writing about it,
but now it's serious and I can't ignore it.  This FAQ has been reprinted
in three magazines the UK so far.  To Sean Atkins and the FutureNet
staff: giving me credit is one thing, but your use of my FAQ is still
a profitable purpose.  I hope you'll keep this disclaimer in mind and
treat me with a little more courtesy next time instead of letting me
discover that FutureNet's published my FAQ twice in two different
magazines.  If you didn't have the time to e-mail about the first
printing, you could have at least told me about the FAQ appearing in
the newest publication by FutureNet.

To the third magazine, again, please take note of the new disclaimer.
Furthermore, this FAQ is copyrighted so I hope you'll also keep that
in mind before printing it.  I cannot express my disgust towards these
people for using my FAQ simply to increase their sales.  I did this
because I wanted to help others, and I didn't plan this FAQ back in
February just so it could be used shamelessly by people who should be
responsible adults.

To everyone who has informed me of a site, magazine, etc. that has
used my FAQ without my permission, I thank you, and I hope you'll
continue to keep me informed in the future.

That's it!
