FINAL FANTASY VII STRATEGY

W-Item Duplication - After you have the W-Item materia many useful items can be duplicated. During a battle select a highlighted item you want to use on a character, then select it again, but cancel the selection by pressing the (X) button. You should notice that your supply of the item will have increased by 1. Continue selecting and canceling to increase the available item to 99 if you want. Some disapprove of this trick, but being as it is a already existing part of the game, and not an outside alteration like the Gameshark, it is worthy of using. This trick can be used to acquire more Elixirs for the Magic Pots in the Northern Cave as well as more megalixers for fighting the Weapons.

The Old Man at Kalm

At the town of Kalm, on the second floor in the house on the far right, there's an old man. This man will give you an item if you give him an item he asks for. There are altogether three of these.

1- Guidebook, decribed as "A map that was sunk along with the ship."
  Morph the Ghost Ship you may encounter in the underwater tunnel at Junon. The Ships can also be found in the Battle Square.
  This item can be exchanged for an "Underwater" Materia.
2- Desert Rose, described as "A rose that blooms once every 1000 years in the desert."
  Defeat Ruby Weapon in the Gold Saucer Area.
  This item can be exchanged for a Gold Chocobo.
3- Earth Harp, described as "A harp that soothes those who hear it."
  Defeat Emerald Weapon in the sea.
  This item can be exchanged for three Master Materias. One of each color.

The Safe In Nibelheim Mansion - Use the code: Right 36, Left 10, Right 59, Right 97 to open it. After you defeat a boss you will be able to obtain three items: Red XIII's 4th limit break, Cosmo Memory, Odin Summon Materia, and a Key to the basement where Vincent can be found.


7777 Fever The 7777 Fever (a.k.a. all 7 Fever) actually makes your character go berserk. You won't lose control of your character, but your character will give the enemies multiple hits of 7777 damage until the enemies are dead. This 7777 Fever will only occur when the characters' HP hits the 7777 point. After the battle, your character will be JUSTIFY with 1 HP.

Increasing Chocobo Stamina - Hold down R1 and R2. This is very helpful on the Manual Setting.


Got Gil? - Sell mastered "All" Materias and recieve a whopping 1,400,000 gil.

The 6 Turtle's Paradise Flyers
If you go to the Turtle Paradise restaurant in Wutai, you will be told that they have placed six flyers around the world. If you find all six it is indicated that you will win a prize of some kind. The following are the locations of the flyers:

  1. Go back to sector 5 slum, in the town where Aeris' house is, at the very east of the town there is a young boy's house, the flyer is upstairs on the wall

  2. There is one at the back of Shin-ra Headquarters ground floor lobby, there are only two chances during the game to look at this one.

  3. There is one just outide the item shop in ghost hotel of the Gold Sourcer.

  4. There is one near to the Weapon shop in Cosmo Canyon.

  5. Also in Cosmo Canyon there is one near the inn.

  6. The last one is tn Yuffie's basement, next to the room with the cage in it.

If you see all these, go back and talk to the owner of Turtle Paradise, the guy behind the bar. And he'll give you a source of each. (eg: magic source, luck source, power source) and an megalixer!!! (For all that traveling and work its a mere pittance when these can be easily morphed from enemies in the sunken Shinra Airplane or can be W-Item duplicated)
