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.

(Please note that this is the last revision of the Japanese FF7 FAQ.
If you own a US copy of FF7, I have an English FAQ that you can find
at most Final Fantasy-related sites, including my own homepage at:
{http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/orange/25/}. I've had a lot of
fun working on this guide and I appreciate everyone who contributed,
but at this point, there's not much of a reason to continue this
version of the FAQ now that the English release of FF7 is available.)
This FAQ is divided into two parts:
The Complete Walkthrough - You're not reading this file. It contains
a guide for the entire game, and has
information on how to play the game.
Extra Stuff You Should Know - The file you're reading now. This file
focuses on secrets in the game. In
addition it has extensive lists of materia
orbs, limit breaks, monsters and
speculation concerning FF7 rumors.
Both of these files can be found at the 'main' address (cgfm2's homepage)
Other sites that carry this FAQ may not have both files, or may have
older versions of the FAQ (it was just one file until v1.6). If you're
asking why I split up this FAQ, it's because it was too big for me to
edit on my computer.... ^_^; Both parts will be updated under the same
revision number--you can find out which file was updated by looking
under the 'Revision History' section. Some sections can be found in
both files, simply for ease of use and to create a more uniform
appearance.

12. REVISION HISTORY
++++++++++++++++++++++
VERSION 2.2 (November 12, 1997)
Minor corrections and URL changes. Just a reminder that this is
the last revision of the FAQ, and that you should download my US
FF7 FAQ if you need help in the game.
VERSION 2.1 (August 19, 1997)
Stuck the disclaimer back in part 1 of the FAQ, and made a few
touch-ups.
VERSION 2.0 (August 10th, 1997)
More minor corrections. I think now I have everything covered :)
VERSION 1.8 (August 8th, 1997)
Added information Yuffie stealing 'disabled' materia, and made
various corrections I forgot to add to v1.7 ^_^;
VERSION 1.7 (August 4th, 1997)
The Disc Two and Three Walkthroughs have been entirely re-written,
and are now in English. In addition, the Monster List has been
updated. More corrections have been made as well, in addition to
extra information about the sub-quests, the URA battle, and more.
The FF7 FAQ is more or less complete at this point (I didn't think
I'd be saying that for a _long_ time). There are still some minor
things to be fixed/added here and there, but this is the last major
revision that I'll be making.
VERSION 1.6x (July 10, 1997)
A mini-update, I guess. Everything in the Disc 1 Walkthrough is now
in English, and the Translations and Shopping List sections have been
updated. Two new sections, Ultimate Weapons and Items and Equipment,
have also been added, in addition to the various usual minor fixes.
The 'Rumors and Speculation' section has also been updated.
VERSION 1.6 (June 20, 1997)
Finished the Materia List and revamped the 'Rumors and Speculation'
section. Changed the order of some sections and updated lots of
other stuff, including the Translation section. The Disc One
walkthrough is now completely rewritten--Disc Two should be done
by the next revision or so. Also added the initial release of the
monster list. If you haven't noticed, the FAQ has been split into
two files, too. Also updated the 'Earn Lots of AP' Game Shark code.
VERSION 1.5x (June 1, 1997)
Added the 'Materia Select' Game Shark code, in addition to some info.
about the hidden (or at least undocumented) Materia Orbs; you may want
to take a look at the 'Underwater Breath' materia. Also updated the
Rumors and Speculation section, Materia List and added all remaining
master AP scores for the Materia Orbs.
VERSION 1.5 (May 31, 1997)
Added the 'Item Select' Game Shark code! Fixed up minor changes made
in later releases of v1.4 so everything is up to date at this point.
Also added master AP scores for most of the materia in the Materia List.
VERSION 1.4 (May 29, 1997)
New sections have been added: 'Shopping List' (to make help with
purchases), 'Learning Limit Breaks' (self-explanatory), and
'Translations' (a list of items, etc. and their translated names).
Several sections have also been updated (like the Enemy Skills List
and Materia list). I am currently re-playing the game to fix
mistakes and clear up any poorly written sections; Disc 1 is a
little over half complete and I will work on the other discs soon.
As usual, more corrections and updates have been made (especially
for my translations :)). I've added some Game Shark codes that
were submitted to me in the 'Secrets and Strategies' section, as
well as more info on the FMV Viewing Trick. Finally, the disclaimer
has been tweaked a little (hopefully for the last time :)).
VERSION 1.3 (May 6, 1997)
Updated the Enemy Skills List, Materia List, and Raising Chocobos
sections. Added information on other Bonus Areas and Cosmo Canyon.
Added the 'Kamedouraku Flyers' and 'All 7 Fever' tricks, as well
as the 'Infinite Limit Break Use' and 'Start with Gold Chocobo' Game
Shark codes. There's also a new section, the Limit Break List.
General updates and corrections have been made throughout the FAQ.
Now that I have many of the 'correct' names for the items, locations,
etc., most of the names in this FAQ have been changed. The disclaimer
has also been changed somewhat.
Keep an eye out for a complete listing of monsters and their abilities;
the initial release will be added to this FAQ in an upcoming revision
or be released separately.
VERSION 1.2 (April 20th, 1997)
Complete overhaul of the Enemy Skills list. How to get the Bahamut
Zero materia, info. on red sub and events at Cosmo Canyon added. New
ASCII title, and a new URL added (for those of you who want to
understand this game's storyline).
VERSION 1.1 (April 14th, 1997)
Added the FMV Viewing Trick to the 'Secrets and Strategies' section.
VERSION 1.0 (April 12th, 1997)
The Disc Three walkthrough is done, making this version the 'official'
release (since it now guides you through the whole game). Added the
'Piano Trick', explained how to get the Alexander Materia and how to
reach the lower chest in the east wing of Sephiroth's Mansion.
Altered the Introduction and Revision History sections a bit, and
updated the Enemy Skill List and Materia Orbs sections. Also added
how to get back into Midgar City.
VERSION 0.4x (April 7th, 1997)
Various corrections/updates, among them the 'Character Select' code
and info. on the Sleeping Man, as well as the monster in section 4a.
VERSION 0.4 (April 6th, 1997)
The walkthrough for Disc Two is complete! This FAQ now provides a
complete guide for both Disc 1 and 2 at this point. The guide for
Disc 3 is currently underway.
VERSION 0.3 (April 5th, 1997)
Began work on Enemy Skill and Summon Materia charts. Fixed up some
misc. info. and other things in the FAQ, and added the Mini-Battle
game strategy to the 'Having Fun' section. Added 'Body Heat' Game
Shark code, and more information concerning the 'Character Select'
code.
VERSION 0.2 (March 31st, 1997)
Fixed information on the 'bug' Materia (it's actually Techniques of
the Enemy). Added the 'Character Select' Game Shark code, which
among other things, lets you play with Aerith AFTER Disc One or even
use Sephiroth! The Disc Two Walkthrough has just been started and
will be added in good time.
VERSION 0.1 (March 28th, 1997)
First release. Bare-bones walkthrough for Disc One and other basic
information. Still more to add and correct. Contains the 'No Time
Limit' Game Shark code.
Began construction of VERSION 0.0 on February 14th, 1997.
++++++++++++++++++
13. INTRODUCTION
++++++++++++++++++
"The town of Midgar is under the tight grip of Shin-Ra, the infamous
conglomerate. The Shin-Ra Electric Power Company has been exploiting the
life force of the planet, destroying its' precious nature.
Meanwhile, the underground rebel force with a mission, Avalanche, managed
to blow up Makon Furnace No. 1. Their goal is to destroy Shin-Ra and
stop their atrocities. It turned out that Cloud, one of the former
Shin-Ra soldiers, helped the explosion.
Can just a handful of brave soldiers save the life of the planet?
Shin-Ra is much too big an enemy to fight against.
THE FATE OF THE PLANET IS ON THIS BATTLE."
So begins Final Fantasy VII's saga, set in a futuristic world where swords
and sorcery are combined with guns and machinery. This FAQ is designed to
guide people through the game, providing not only a walkthrough for the
adventures contained on each disc but also information on basic gameplay,
secrets and tricks, and more.
This FAQ is based entirely on the Japanese version of FF7. Therefore,
some things in this guide may not apply to the English version of FF7 when
it is released (presumably on September 7th, 1997). Furthermore, as the
writer of this FAQ neither speaks nor understands Japanese, this guide is
not 100% accurate. Although mistakes will be corrected in future
revisions as soon as they are noticed, some parts of this guide are bound
to be unclear on the subject or run the risk of supplying false info.
Any Japanese names that you come across have either been submitted to me
by someone else or I have translated them using a kana chart (and since I
don't know the first thing about the Japanese language, my translations
may not be correct). Now that I am doing item and name translations,
(as of v1.3 onwards) this is more true than ever. If you see a
translated name and would like to know the English equivalent, (assuming
there is one) then please refer to the 'Translations' section for details.
Whenever possible, I'll write NSS (Not So Sure) after anything that may
be incorrect or unconfirmable. Furthermore, the I'll try to provide
names of monsters, cities, locations, etc. when possible, but many things
may be referred to as 'the big brown hut', 'the four-armed red frog
monster', etc. because I don't know the exact name. This FAQ tries to be
as understandable and clear as possible, but this is not always the case.
Due to the size of this game, the FF7 FAQ will be revised whenever it is
necessary, and can be found at:
www.fortunecity.com/bally/orange/25/
You can find revisions elsewhere (look at the top of the FAQ). While I
update the FAQ whenever I have the spare time, I can't guarantee that
other places will have the latest revision.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
14. SECRETS AND STRATEGIES
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=========================================================================
GETTING YUFFIE KISARAGI
=========================================================================
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 the small wooded area near the Condor
Fort. After a few battles, you'll fight Yuffie (seems to be a 1 in 15
chance, if you ask me).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS TIPS: MEI NO NINJA {Mysterious Ninja} LV: 37 HP: 1950 MP: 280
Just attack, really. The Summon Materia 'Titan' works well. Yuffie can
do 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:
Bottom answer, Top answer, Bottom answer, Top answer, Bottom answer
Put another way, respond using the second reply, then the first reply,
then the second reply... 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.
=========================================================================
GETTING VINCENT VALENTINE
=========================================================================
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 Nivelheim's Shin-Ra 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 Shin-Ra 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. Choose the bottom reply when
he asks you a question. When the coffin closes, press O again. Choose
the second (bottom) reply when Vincent poses another question, and you
can name him. Then, try to leave the cavern and he'll join you. Vincent
can join you from the first time you reach Nivelheim onwards (but not
during Cloud's flashback).
=========================================================================
THE SAFE IN NIVELHEIM
=========================================================================
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: ROSUTONANBAA {Lost Number} LV: 35 HP: 7000 MP: 300
This boss can be taken out just by attacking and using Limit Breaks.
Magic spells (Flame, Cold, Lighting) that are at level 2 are also
okay to use. Heal yourself and use Summon Materia (like 'Sumon Chocobo
and Moogle', and you'll win in no time. Aside from physical attacks,
all this guy can really do is use a Thunder 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 Tails 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 'Summon Chocobo and
Moogle' 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 lying in the safe that you can grab (Chi x x no Key).
Don't forget to take the Red Materia! Apparently, there's a paper in
the lower room in the right wing of the mansion that hints at the correct
combination for the safe, but someone like me can't read it :( Once
you've read the paper, you can find hints throughout the house (by the
piano, next to the chair in the bedroom, etc.) Refer to the Disc One
Walkthrough for more information.
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.
=========================================================================
THE SLEEPING MAN
=========================================================================
Get over 100 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.
Inside the cave is a sleeping fellow who (usually) tells you how many
wins you've gotten so far. Not only do you need to have over 100 wins,
but the last two digits have to be the same (100, 111, 255, 733, etc.)
When you have the correct number of victories, talk to the sleeping
man. He'll toss and turn, then give you an item (Mithril). 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 Mithril, but you now have the choice of opening the
long wooden chest by the bed to get a Gold Bracelet, or examining the
metal lid on the upper floor at the end of the walkway to get the
manual for Aerith's Level 4 Limit Break.
It's probable that you can do this with less than 100 wins, but I'm
not certain of that. Someone want to verify it for me?
=========================================================================
PIANO TRICK
=========================================================================
Go to Nivelheim (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
or*
D, L, U, L1+T, L1+S, D, L, U, L1+X, R, D, L, D
* You can also use a combination of buttons and direction presses.
I'd like to stress that as far as I can determine, the result of
playing the piano is random. Sometimes, nothing happens, other times,
you'll find 1 gil, and other times, you'll find Tifa's Level 4 Limit
Break Manual (keep reading). I'd also like to state that I've gotten
her manual _without_ having Tifa in my party. I'm not sure how I did
it, but I have a save file that proves it (see? see!) I thought I did
it by playing the melody once, exiting out, playing it again, exiting
out again, and then getting back on the piano and pressing L1+T.
But, the way that you're _supposed_ to do it is to stick Tifa in your
party, go to the piano, play it once using the 'button only' method,
and she'll eventually find a letter from her master, Zangan (the caped
guy you saw during the first Nivelheim flashback). Tifa will get the
Final Heaven Limit Break Manual after reading his letter.
=========================================================================
KEY TO MIDGAR CITY (AREA 5 KEY)
=========================================================================
{Disc 2 or 3} 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
excavator's 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 excavtor near the bottom of the screen? Near him is a tiny
piece of metal sticking outwards; 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 Aerith,
you can see her bending over the flowers; she'll flicker and disappear
after a second. 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 Zinc Batteries
from to reach the Shin-Ra Building back in Disc 1? The man in the left
side of the shop will sell you an accessory (Nusuzoku no Shoute) for
129,000 gil this time around.
=========================================================================
KAMEDOURAKU FLYERS
=========================================================================
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 Aerith's 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

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: Utai...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 Utai (the large building in the southwestern corner of town). Talk
to the barkeep and you'll get a Power Up, Guard Up, Magic Up, Mind Up,
Speed Up, Luck Up, and a Last Elixir.
=========================================================================
ALL 7 FEVER
=========================================================================
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 (or a
maximum and a current HP of 7777...I'm not sure yet). This can be done
by getting injured, equipping materia, or raising levels. When that
particular character enters a battle, the message 'Ooru 7 Fiibaa' (All 7
Fever) will appear. It will show up every time the 'fevered' character
attacks, too.
During this time, the person affected by the 'All 7 Fever' will make one
_normal_ attack against each enemy when their Time Bar is filled, even if
you have materia such as Slice Everybody or Everything Affect 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 berzerked (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 materia).
They can still lose HP or be affected by enemy abilties/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. Since I think your
maximum HP has to be 7777 too, this means that you can't repeat that
trick once you raise a level, since you will gain HP and it will affect
the amount of HP a materia is adding/taking away from your 'real' total.
This means that the only way to permanently keep this trick is to get
really good at using materia orbs to customize your character's life,
or by killing that character before the end of the battle so that they
don't gain experience ^_^;
=========================================================================
FMV VIEWING TRICK
=========================================================================
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 Makoro 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 Aerith'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 Aerith (this is when you return
with Buugen Haagen 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 Buugen Haagen's observatory (which
is only in Disc 1) will also be partially displayed if you switch it
with Disc 2 or 3.
=========================================================================
ALWAYS RUN FROM BATTLES
=========================================================================
Interestingly enough, you will instantly flee a battle if at least one
character is petrified, stopped, or paralyzed while in the 'running'
pose. So as long as you are not fighting a boss or have been ambushed
(see the Running section for more detail), you can always escape simply
by letting the enemy do one of the above attacks to you, or by doing it
to yourself (via Spell Materia)! This is also useful if all your members
are paralyzed, stopped, or whatever, and your last character is about to
suffer a similar fate. Simply try to run away (even if you can't), and
you'll escape the moment you are hit by the attack. The only exception
to this trick is that if you are petrified and your other teammates are
dead or petrified, then you will always lose. This doesn't work on boss
battles, by the way.
=========================================================================
RAISING CHOCOBOS
=========================================================================
This section is based upon a summarized guide written by Nikki. Some
information is also taken from a more detailed guide written by Crow.
Their addresses can be found in the Special Thanks section near the end
of the FF7 FAQ.
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.
a) Go to the Chocobo Farm once you've accquired the Highwind. Enter
the house (not the barn) and talk to the person there. Choose
the first option, then choose the top choice. Doing this will let
you purchase one of the stalls in the barn. You'll need to purchase
all six, but they cost 10000 gil a pop. If you want, you can do
the process with only four stalls, but you'll have to kick out the
chocobos you don't need to make room for the newer ones.
b) Leave and get on the airship. Fly to the northern continent and
land near the lone house surrounded by grass (it's exactly to the
northwest of the farm). Equip one character with a Steal (yellow)
materia and keep walking around on the grass until you fight a
large red reptile (Brachosaur?) Try to steal from him until you
get a Karabu Fruit (you'll get a message with an exclamation mark
if you stole something). Run away or beat him, then repeat the
process three times so that you have three Karabu Fruits. You can
also get this item from the same enemy if you go to the tip of the
penninsula near the excavator's village on the Northern Continent
where the dark grass is.
c) Now, go to the chocobo tracks near the Gold Saucer (by the shore).
Equip someone with a Chocobo Attract materia and walk along the
tracks until you enter a battle with a Chocobo. Don't kill the
chocobo, but do kill the other enemies. When the battle is over,
press X to dismount and select the top option to make the chocobo
return to the farm.
d) Go to the tracks on the Southern Continent, near the forest where
you found Cloud in Disc 2. Unlike the walking kind, you can get
running chocobos here. Just repeat step (c) to catch one. Wait
a second--save your game. If you didn't get the right type of
chocobo (more about this in part e), you can reset the game and
try again: the chocobo's gender is determined randomly each time,
so you can end up with the correct gender if you keep resetting
and naming the Chocobo until you get the one you want.
e) Return to the chocobo farm. Talk to the guy standing still in the
barn and choose the 3rd option, then the first choice twice. Name
your chocobo, then repeat with the other bird. This will also place
your chocobos in the stables. You can tell by their stance (walking
or running) if they are the right type. To tell your chocobo's
gender and race ranking (more on this later), go up to them in the
barn and press O. Next to their name are two characters. The last
character is the same, but the first character identifies the
chocobo's gender:
Female (me): | Male (o): |
__ / ---------
\/ / |
/ \ _/ |
_/ ___|
You'll want to make sure that the running chocobo is female and
the walking chocobo is male. If you have a chocobo walking with
his head down, put it in a stall, then talk to the man again and
choose the 6th option from the top. Pick that chocobo and choose
the top option twice, then the bottom option once to let that bird
go so you can get another one. If the sex of the chocobo is wrong,
just use the trick in the above section to change it.
f) Do you have the correct type and gender? Talk to the man in the
barn again and choose the fifth option from the top. Choose one
of the chocobos by walking up to it and pressing O. Pick the top
option, then repeat with the other chocobo. When you get another
choice, pick the top option. A list will appear. Remember the
items you stole from that reptile in the north? It will appear
as the item 7th from the top (there should be a 3 next to it
since you stole 3 items). Choose and and choose the top choice.
g) Hopefully you got a green Chocobo! If you got a blue one or a
yellow one, reset and try to mate the two chocobos again (repeat
step f). You'll want a blue chocobo, but if you get one right
now, it's harder to breed a green one -NSS-. Keep note of your
chocobo's gender--it's important.
h) At this point, you can't mate the yellow chocobos again or the
green chocobo. If you don't want to wait, repeat steps (c)
through (f) and try to breed a Blue Chocobo who is the opposite
gender of your Green Chocobo. If you have time on your hands,
though, waste it and come back later. You can re-breed your
two yellow chocobos and try to get a Blue Chocobo. Either way,
it will take _a lot_ of tries, but you save the trouble of
capturing and renaming chocobos if you waste some time and just
re-breed your two yellow birds. Remember the item that you
used (Karabu Fruit), will now have a '2' next to it since you
already used one. Don't worry, it will still stay in the same
place on the menu.
i) Okay! Now, you should have a Blue chocobo and a Green chocobo of
opposite genders. If you caught another pair of yellow chocobos,
you won't have any more stall space and you'll have to let the
two yellow ones go. If you simply breeded them again, you'll
still have two stalls left open. Since the Blue chocobo is a
newborn, you'll need to waste some more time before you can breed
it to the Green one. Hop in the Highwind and fly back to the
house on the grassy patch in the Northern Continent. Talk to the
purple geezer and choose the first option. He will offer to sell
ou items; buy 40 of the ones that cost 5000 gil (Shirukisu
Vegetable).
Return to the Chocobo Farm and give ten of them to your blue
chocobo and 10 to your green chocobo. You can do this by picking
the fourth option when you talk to the man, then picking the
Shirukisu Vegetable (it's the next to last one). Pick the chocobo
you want to feed it to and press up or down on your controller to
increase the number. Then press O twice to feed the chocobo.
j) Go to the Gold Saucer (you can get there from the sky lift in
North Corel). Go to the Chocobo Square, enter the main
building, and talk to the girl in front of the 'STAFF ROOM'
door. Choose the first option and pick either your green
chocobo or your blue chocobo to race. Then pick the top choice
two times and press Start at the next screen to start the race.
The point of racing is to improve your chocobo's race ranking.
Remember what happened when you checked your chocobo's stats?
Underneath the gender was the race ranking. You need to improve
it from a C to an A-class ranking, and you can do so by racing.
It doesn't matter if you lose; just keep racing until you gain
new classes. Refer to the chocobo-racing tips in section 3o if
you need help, although it's easy to win the races using
Automatic Sequence Mode. Every time you win a race, pick the
top option to get an item, the bottom option twice to get an
item, or the bottom option, then the top option to get some GP.
Remember, to raise a class level, you have to come in first place
(and even then you may need to get a high score such as 1-2 or
1-2 a few times before you'll gain a level). When you do raise
a race ranking, the girl will tell you. You can see your
chocobo's class every time you race it (at the screen before the
race starts). Obviously, it will take quite a few races before
you can hit class 'A' (it took me around 3 races to raise to
the next class each time).
k) Fun, wasn't it? Get back in the Highwind and return to the
Chocobo Farm. Refer to step (f) and breed the blue and green
chocobos together. With a little luck, you'll find a black
chocobo in one of the empty stalls the following day. Yes,
you may have used up your last piece of Karabu, but you won't
need it anymore. Once again, take note of your black chocobo's
gender.
l) There's an elongated island with a forest on it northeast of the
Chocobo Farm. Go into the forest and wander around until you
run into a tiny monster wearing boxing gloves (Goblin). You can
steal a Zeio Fruit off of it--you only need one. After you
get it, fly to the chocobo tracks on the west edge of the Northern
Continent and capture one; you can get the dashing kind here.
Then go back to the farm, name your yellow Chocobo, and put it in
the stalls. If it isn't the opposite gender of your black chocobo,
reset and try the naming process again. Refer to step (e) if you
forgot how to do this.
m) You should have 20 Shirukisu Vegetables left, so feed 10 of them to
the dashing yellow chocobo and 10 to your black chocobo (just like
how you did it in step i). Now for the real fun part--you have to
get an A-rank class for both the yellow and black chocobos! So,
just repeat what you did back in step (j). It will take a while,
but when they're both at race ranking A, leave the Gold Saucer and
return to the Chococbo Farm.
n) Now, breed your yellow and black chocobo together. This time,
use the Zeio Fruit (it's at the very bottom of the list).
Once again, refer to step (f) if you have trouble navigating
the menus. It may have to retry a few times, but you'll end up
with the gold chocobo eventually. Now you can go anywhere on
the World Map!
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 dirt pit 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 :)
Unlike chocobos that you capture and ride around on, the ones that you
ride out from the Chocobo Farm are a little tamer. They'll stay where
you get off them until you ride them again, and you can do this as much
as you want and return them to the Farm whenever you want (although you
can only have one chocobo out at a time). If you're riding a chocobo
and you try to enter the Highwind, you'll find it in the 'Chocobo' area
of the the ship. You'll automatically be riding the chocobo when you
land the ship, too.
=========================================================================
UNCHARTED ISLES
=========================================================================
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'.
=========================================================================
GAME SHARK CODES
=========================================================================
I'm not much of a code-maker myself, but here are some cheats you might
want to try. Remember, you need a Game Shark 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 Game Shark 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. Remember, these codes were made to work on the Japanese
version of FF7--they _may_ work on the English-text version or Japanese
re-released version, but I don't know for certain.
FF7 MASTER CODE 80000000 - 0000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the cheat that lets you use other codes with this game. I don't
know if it (and the other codes listed here) will work on every disc,
but if a code doesn't, then I'll let you know.
NO TIME LIMIT - 1ST POSITION 800F5E88 - FFFE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this code, anyone in the first position always has a full Time bar.
This means that he or she can repeatedly choose commands and will do
them as fast as he is able. The other two characters act normally.
The plus side to this is that you can attack many times in a single turn
of combat. Also, if you reach your Limit Break, you can repeatedly
activate it as long as you start doing so before the first Limit Break
begins. (As an example, I used an old file and was able to kill the
boss of the Shinra Boat in the first round. This was possible because
Barett already had a full Limit bar when the battle began. I rapidly
selected Barett's Heavy Shot whenever the menu popped up. He did
something like 20 Heavy Shots in a row.) While this is obviously useful
when attacking or using Limit Breaks, you can't 'stockpile' Summon uses
or Magic casting. Even if you select to summon, say, Ifrit nine times,
you'll get a message for the subsequent 8 summons and nothing will
happen. Similarly, if you choose to cast a spell five times but don't
have enough MP, then you'll only use the spell until your MP runs out,
at which point you get a message telling you so and nothing happens until
your commands 'run out'. Just because you have a full Time bar doesn't
give you extra initiative, either; enemies will still attack you when
they are able (once you've stopped performing a command), and your allies
will do whatever you told them to do (once again, as soon as you stop
doing something). This code is especially useful if you're using the
'Control Enemy' Materia, since you can have them do whatever you want
as many times as you want (as long as they don't get hit).
CHARACTER SELECT - 3RD POSITION 8009B376 - FF0x
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter this code, but replace the last digit with one of the following:
x = 0 - Cloud Strife
1 - Barett Wallace
2 - Tifa Rockheart
3 - Aerith Gainsborough
4 - Red 13
5 - Yuffie Kisaragi
6 - Cait Sith
7 - Vincent Valentine
8 - Cid Hiwind
9 - {Young Cloud}
A - {Sephiroth}
B - {Chocobo}
C - {'Nau Purintingu'} (Now Printing)
D - {'Nau Purintingu'} (Now Printing)
When you start the game, the character in your 3rd slot (position) will
'turn into' the character you've chosen. If the graphics are messed up,
try entering and exiting the PHS screen to clear things up a bit. If
the code doesn't work initially, try checking your character's stats in
the PHS screen or switching that character in and out of the PHS screen.
This code works much better if you use a new game or have a saved file
in which the third character slot is empty. Basically, the code works
like this:
If you want to have any of the 'normal' characters, i.e. Cloud to Cid,
then they'll usually start off at level 1. The game won't freeze or
mess up if you talk to someone or if an event occurs, but if you're not
supposed to have that character yet, they won't appear or interact with
anyone.
The sole exception to this is Aerith. Like Cloud, she cannot be removed
from the party, or even the PHS system once she is put in reserve.
Furthermore, the game WILL freeze or hang if you put her in her party
once she's left for the last village, or if you have her join at any
point from the end of Disc One onwards. What's really weird about this
is that in some cases (like after the snowboarding event on Disc 2, when
the party comes to in the snow), she DOES have her own dialogue (these
seem to be 'any character' quotes, though). Those of you who want
another code can try:
PLAY AS AERITH - 3RD POSITION 801D3330 - 3313
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It only lets you select Aerith, but seems to mess up less than the
character select code. To choose her, go into the PHS screen, place
your character on the 3rd person (who you don't have to remove), and
press the O button twice (as if you were going to check his/her
status). With this code, Aerith is 'invisible' during most events/
conversations and says nothing.
As for the 'Character Select' code:
Make sure that you don't have the same character in the third space
that you're going to use with the first code (i.e. don't have Cait
Sith in the third space and then enter a code for Cait Sith). The
result is that you can make 'copies' of that character, but not
select others. Unless you want to have, say, two Baretts--then put
Barett in the first or second space and then use the Barett code
in the third space.
The special characters are the ones whose names are in brackets. While
you probably recognize Young Cloud and Sephiroth from Cloud's flashback
after reaching the World Map, the Chocobo and the two 'Nau Purintingu'
portraits don't have any real stats, they'll just have Cloud's instead.
The problem with the special characters is that you cannot turn another
character into them, or their stats 'merge'. The result is that not only
does that character not even appear, but they lose all their HP instantly
(and don't appear, either) during battle sequences. Right now, Young
Cloud and Sephiroth are the only 'special' characters that don't merge
instantly. The Chocobo face appears when you try to raise Chocobos in
the second disk, so that explains that. The character that I called
'Kanjimaru' is in fact translated as 'Now Printing' in English. Mr.
Kelley (who translated the name) suggests that it was perhaps a test
portrait made by the programmers (sort of a default portrait perhaps
used before the actual portraits were drawn/decided upon), or simply
a joke by the programmers, which makes sense as the portrait has no
real stats, equipment, or anything else.
So, to play with one of the special characters, you have to have a blank
opening. I've been having some trouble 'creating' a blank space using
the PHS system, so I was forced to find a file when there are two
characters or less. The Shinra boat (Disc One) was the one file I had
on hand to use, so it's the one I'll use in my example (the file's at
the second Save Point, just before you meet with your friends and
encounter Sephiroth). You could also start a new game since there's
no one in the third position. If you can't get this code to work
(especially with one of the special characters), try it with a blank
space for optimum results. So, to test out one of the special
characters at the Shinra boat, for example:
Enter the code and start the game, then choose the file. Cloud will
be at the top, and at the bottom will be the messed-up portrait and
stats of either Young Cloud or Sephiroth. Go talk to Barett, in
order to speed up events, then go meet your friends. When you're
asked to pick new party members, kick out the 'special' character and
take two other characters. This prevents the game from glitching in
the next scene. Be sure to turn off the Game Shark so that your new
allies won't suddenly 'become' Young Cloud or Sephiroth.
Then, talk to one of your allies and remove your third member. Flick
up the switch on the Game Shark, and you've got your special character!
You can try them out in battle if you'd like in the hold below, but
don't try to meet Sephiroth with Sephiroth in your party or the game
will crash. For some strange reason, if Red 13 is your third member
and you turn the switch on to enable the code just before the battle
with Sephiroth's creature, the two won't merge and you can fight the
boss with Sephiroth.
Special notes about the characters:
SEPHIROTH is still automatically controlled by the computer. However,
you can de-equip and take his Materia for your own! Even better, you
can use this code at the very start of the game to have Sephiroth
accompany Cloud into the Shinra reactor! If you leave the code on
and have him switch places with Cloud, you'll have three Sephiroths
to fight with! (This does crash the game with a high rate, though).
BTW, even if you remove Sephiroth's Materia, he can still cast magic
in battle! If you start a new game with him as your character, you
can't select Materia since you can't choose that option yet.
While YOUNG CLOUD has a Limit Break, it (like Sephiroth's) doesn't
really exist (it can't be used in battle, even if you try it with
the 'Infinite Limit Break Use' code below).
The CHOCOBO and both NOW PRINTINGS always act as if they are 'merged'.
I have yet to find a way around this, so they are unplayable for the
time being, even though you can get their portraits (I doubt you
can play with either of them).
Unfortunately, the code for VINCENT VALENTINE almost always results
in a 'merged' (and hence, unplayable) version of Sephiroth, even if
I activate him in a blank space. Once you get Vincent (normally),
both this and the Sephiroth code give mixed results, at best. Even
without Vincent, this code gives you some strange results. For
instance, even though Sephiroth doesn't really have a Limit Break,
the name that is given is Vincent's initial Break.
As you can see, this code is far from perfect, and I haven't been able
to test the codes fully. If you have trouble using these codes,
remember that you MUST have a blank space to put one of the 'special'
characters or the code won't work and both characters will merge.
Also, don't be surprised if the game hangs, especially during character
events, even if the code you're using is for one of the 'normal
characters' (Aerith in particular).
With both of these codes (characters & Aerith) it's a good idea for
you to flip off the code after getting the character you want to
lessen the chance of the game hanging.
BODY HEAT ALWAYS STAYS AT 31 DEGREES 80074DC4 - 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This code has no effect on the game unless you go to the outside ledges
of the Frozen Mountain. While there, your body heat will stay at a
constant 31 degrees, and neither tapping the S button or being exposed
to the cold air will have any affect to your temperature. This way,
you can explore the mountain freely without worrying about passing out.
The number may fluctuate a bit (it sometimes stops at 91), but your
heat will still be unaffected.
INFINITE LIMIT BREAK USE - 3RD POSITION 800F619C - 00FF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As long as this code is activated, your Limit Bar instantly fills up
and stays full until you use a Limit Break. It then immediately fills
again, allowing you to use your Breaks as often as you'd like. The
only side effect is that you can 'choose' Breaks that you don't really
have--this has no affect on the actual game aside from wasting a turn
and if you try to use one, you get a message telling you that you don't
have enough MP. This code has no effect on Vincent after he's done
any of his Breaks, and it doesn't allow characters to use Limit Breaks
when they normally can't (Sephiroth, Young Cloud, Cait Sith {once
he's used the Slot Suit and gotten three moogles}, or characters who
can't use them due to their status, such as petrification). I really
want to get a '1st position' code so I could use it with the 'No Time
Limit' code...imagine what you could do with that. In fact, I've
been trying to get most of my codes to work for players in other
positions, so maybe I'll have some new stuff for you coders to cheat
with when the next revision is put up.
START WITH GOLD CHOCOBO 800E54B4 - 0004
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This code suffers from some MAJOR drawbacks, but at least it's usable.
If I can tweak it enough to get a real chocobo select, then this code
will be updated. When activated, it turns your chocobo into a gold
chocobo. The color and type remain the same, but you can cross cliffs,
mountains, rivers, shallow water, oceans, go up waterfalls, etc. (as if
you were riding a gold chocobo). However, this code has it's share of
flaws, namely:
You can't do this with wild chocobos that you catch: you have to catch
a chocobo, send it to the Chocobo Farm, name it and ride it out of the
farm, _then_ activate the code. This effectively prevents you from
using this code until about halfway through Disc 2 when the option of
chocobo breeding is available to you, so you can't cheat wildly on the
first disc and do things like skip to new areas, bypass levels, or
grab the Knights of the Round Materia at such an early point in the
game :( Secondly, 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 dirt pit
around the Gold Saucer. I had to have all the chocobo types before I
could make this code in the first place, so it didn't help me much. :(
ITEM SELECT 8009B4xx - yzzz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is THE code that I've been wanting to make since I bought this game,
and I'm quite overjoyed to have it. I wish there were more secret items
in the game, and I would have really liked to get some Key Items, but
that's another code for another day. Don't forget that you can sell
these items for loads of cash (as long as the switch is up), and you can
use them to empower your characters (try the '-Appu' items) early on in
the game. Enjoy!
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.
An example code would be 8009B4A8 - 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 066 - 07F give you these items. As of right now,
I don't know what their purpose is (they may be disabled Key
Items, I think).
- Codes ending in 080 - 08F are swords for Cloud.
- Codes ending in 090 - 09F are claws for Tifa.
- Codes ending in 0A0 - 0AF are cannons for Barett.
- Codes ending in 0B0 - 0BD are combs for Red XIII.
- Codes ending in 0BE - 0C8 are rods for Aerith.
- Codes ending in 0C9 - 0D6 are spears for Cid.
- Codes ending in 0D7 - 0E4 are shurikens for Yuffie.
- Codes ending in 0E5 - 0F1 are megaphones 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.
If you have this code activated and you go into a battle, you may get
a strange effect that prevents you from fighting the battle. As the
battle begins, these messages will appear, one after the other:
シーン：＃＃ ／ エラーコード： ＃＃
Ｌ１＋Ｒ１＋ＳＥＬＥＣＴ デリセットシテネ
システムエラーガ xx シマシタ
I think it would be translated as:
xxx: ### / Error Occurred: ##
L1+R1+SELECT x Reset xxx
System Error x xx xxxx
Should you press L1+R1+Select at any time, you're instantly taken out of
the battle. While you don't gain AP, gil, or experience points or items,
you don't lose anything, either. Not only can this be used to bypass
normal battles, but it can be used during boss battles and the game will
continue as if you had fought and beaten the boss!
This is pure speculation on my part, but I think this is probably some
sort of error checker/debugger that was used by the game's programmers
to test battle sequences, probably to fix up any flaws in the 'Active
Time Battle' system. This seems possible because the number seem to
indicate your party's Agility compared to the enemies (I think). And
assuming my translations are correct (assuming, mind you :)) it would
make some sense.
Keep in mind that this may still happen even with the code off. So,
it's a good idea not to have this code on when you go into a battle.
The best procedure would probably be to put in the codes for the items
you want, then save your game and load it without using this code.
Then, make sure that you don't have any spare items left in your menu
(use them, sell them, or try 're-equipping' them to reduce the amount
that you have--if you re-equip them you'll still keep one, but the
others will vanish). Of course, if you don't want to fight any battles,
then leave the code activated :)
MATERIA SELECT 8009B6xx - 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.
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.

reduced.

that the abilities/AP levels of these materia tend to fluctuate, even if
you put these in using the Game Shark, saved your game, and then played

SUICHUU KOKYUU (Underwater Breath) - Independant Materia 1 star
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
すいちゅうこきゅう
Has no description.
It says it's ability is 'SuichuuKokyuu*'
This materia seems to have no effect when equipped, nor does it affect
anything or anyone at any point in the game, as far as I can tell.
Unlike all other materia, it has only one star. I would assume that
this Materia starts off mastered, but because of the Materia Select code,
I have way over a million AP and I can't seem to make that number go
down. It could be that you have to master it (just like other materia)
but then it would be the only materia in the game that starts off with
no mastered star levels.
* The info. box will give the stats. of the last Materia the cursor was
on should you move it around (unless it was last on an Independant
Materia, in which case it will display 'SuichuuKokyuu' for the ability
name).

'Rumors and Speculation' and 'Documents' sections for more detailed
conjecture. For those of you who keep asking, I've been to the Ancient
City and _nothing_ happens. Believe me, I've experimented with this
materia in just about every possible way and it doesn't seem to have
any effect in the game.

it doesn't say it, you also have the Nageru skill (Throw) in
battle, too.
Find: Use the 'Materia Select' Game Shark code (26).
* Mr. Kelley points out that this is most likely a joke by the
programmers. 'Law' is what lawyers deal with, and the listed skill
given for this materia is Coin Toss. As in 'you have to throw away
your money when dealing with lawyers'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUUSUTAA (Booster) - Combination Materia 90000 AP 5 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ブースター
Has no description.
It says it's ability is 'Buusutaa'.
So far, it doesn't seem to affect any Materia I equip it to. From the
name, though, I'd imagine that it's supposed to increase the range/
effectiveness/power of the Materia that you combine it with or perhaps
increase the amount of AP you earn for that Materia.
Find: Use the 'Materia Select' Game Shark code (16).
Here are some codes sent in by contributors:
ALWAYS HAVE 9999999 GIL 8009B9F8 - 967F
submitted by {erwind@sby.mega.net.id} 8009B9FA - 0098
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As long as this code is activated, you'll always have 9999999 gil, even
if you win a battle or purchase something (you can turn the code off to
spend and gain money normally, and it won't drop down to the original
amount you had before you used this code). If you turn off the code and
earn a lot of gil, the numbers may look a little buggy, but it's not a
harmful effect and it won't do anything to your game (and the amount
will appear normal when you're purchasing items from a shop).
GAIN LOTS OF EXPERIENCE POINTS FROM BATTLES 8009BF70 - FFFF
submitted by {erwind@sby.mega.net.id}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this code turned on, you'll win much more EXP. from enemies than
you would normally. You don't need to use this code to keep your new
exp. levels, either, since you can save them into the game just as if
you had earned them normally. I wonder how the 'Experience Up' materia
would affect this code?
GAIN LOTS OF ABILITY POINTS FROM BATTLES 8009BF74 - 0FFF
submitted by {erwind@sby.mega.net.id}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This works pretty much like the above code; simply turn it on and when
you win a battle, you'll always earn a ton of ability points (AP),
usually 4000-8000 points per battle. You can save your game normally
to keep any materia orbs that you've mastered or leveled-up, too, so you
don't have to keep using this code. If you affix a Materia Orb to a
weapon that increases the rate at which a materia levels-up (such as
Cloud's Apocalypse weapon), then you'll gain double or triple the amount
of AP that you would normally.
A special thanks to Deuce {deuce@scsn.net} for discovering that if you
change the code to 8009BF74 - 8FFF, you will gain far more AP per battle
(around 36800 points) than you would normally.

THE CHARACTERS
=========================================================================
Who's going to help Cloud fight against the Shin-Ra? Read on to discover
friends (maybe even foes) who hook up with Cloud as the game progresses.
AERITH GAINSBOROUGH (22 years old)
A beautiful woman with a mysterious atmosphere. She met Cloud when she
was selling flowers in (Midgar, and now she plays an important role in
Cloud's adventure. She is better at magic attacks than attacking with
weapons.
BARETT WALLACE (35 years old)
The leader of "Avalanche". His overwhelming power and a gun made
especially for him would destroy anything. He lost his wife in the
past and now lives for his little daughter, Marin.
CAIT SITH (age unknown)
No one knows where he is from. The way he talks lets us guess he is a
male being. He gives life to the fat stuffed animal of Moogle and rides
its back. His attacks during the battle are worth seeing; it is as
though everything in a toy box were coming out. Fortune telling is his
hobby, but what he says is never reliable.
CID HIWIND (32 years old)
A pilot who dreams like a boy. In the sky or on the water, no one steers
better than him. He is dreaming of traveling the endless starry sky. A
man always willing to face danger with a lance in his hand. He also has
an amazing knowledge of mechanics.
CLOUD STRIFE (21 years old)
A former soldier of Shin-Ra. He is now a member of the rebel force
"Avalanche", and is getting involved with battles that would decide the
fate of the planet. There is nothing that his sword would not destroy.
RED XIII (age unknown)
Sex unknown. Red XIII has decidedly red fur and looks threatening, but
has an intelligence level that is well beyond that of humans. The only
thing known about Red XIII is that it attacks the enemy with its claws
and fangs. A very mysterious beast.
SEPHIROTH (age unknown)
He was also a Shin-Ra soldier, and Cloud was under him. Only Shin-Ra's
confidential files know his past. He was one of the best soldiers
there. His long sword has an incredible power, and he is the only one
who can use it. No one knows where he is now.
TIFA ROCKHEART* (20 years old)
An optimist who encourages the members of the party. Despite her cute
appearance, she is a real martial arts fighter who only uses her fists.
She is also an important member of "Avalanche". She has known Cloud
since they were small and has feelings for him but still cannot tell
him so.
* It may be 'Lockheart', for all I know.
VINCENT VALENTINE (27 years old)
A guy with a dark, mysterious atmosphere. It seems that the past
relation with Shin-Ra is making him travel with Cloud and others.
It is known that his slim body possesses some kind of amazing power
and abilities.
YUFFIE KISARAGI (16 years old)
She is a member of a Ninja family with long history, but she does not
care much about it. She decided to join Cloud's party only because she
wanted to get "something". She is a clever, selfish girl, but plays an
important role in battles by using her Ninja tricks and skills.
=========================================================================
MATERIA ORBS*
=========================================================================
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 Thunder, 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.
Blue - Support Materia. These augment the power
of certain other Materia. For instance,
the 'Select All' Materia, when combined with
a Flame materia, lets you cast a fire spell on
all foes.
Red - Summon Materia. These let you summon monsters,
like Chocobo, Shiva, Bahamut, or even Chupon!
* My tv has some strange color properties. This means that when I
mention a 'Purple Materia', it may actually be a Blue Materia. I
didn't even realize this until after first releasing this FAQ, so
try and bear with me, okay? I'll avoid incorrect naming in the
future, but I may still get it wrong sometimes. Sorry! ^_^;
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 Summon Chocobo materia equipped for a long time,
and manages to raise it to level 2. If Barett, 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 Summon 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 up
Materia to a good magic-user, and give the Certain Kill 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.
=========================================================================
HUGE MATERIA / MASTER MATERIA
=========================================================================
From Disc 2 onwards, you have the chance to find and collect four 'Huge
Materia'. They can be gotten from these locations:
Blue Materia - North Corel. You have to save the town from being
destroyed by a train during Disc 2.
Yellow Materia - The other Huge Materia is located in the Condor Fort--
you can only get this during Disc 2. What you have to
do is win the 'mini-battle' sequence atop the tower or
you won't receive the Huge Materia.
Green Materia* - Rocket Town. After you and Cid blast off in his ship,
you'll have to enter the code command to free the huge
Green Materia. If you can't save the Materia, it's lost
for good. This quest can only be done during Disc 2.
Red Materia - Red Submarine. If you were able to sink the red sub
during the return trip to Junon Town in Disc 2, you can
capture the huge Red Materia from the sunken submarine
at any time during Discs 2 or 3. If you weren't able
to stop the sub, then this Materia is permanently lost.
* In one game, I tried beating every quest but Corel. I had three of
the materia, Yellow, Green, and Red. I always thought the Blue Materia
was part of the Rocket Town sub-quest, but I guess not.
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 Form 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.
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 Bahamut Reborn
summon materia orbs.
Once you've fulfilled the prerequisites to get a certain master materia,
simply return to Buugen Haagen'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 Form 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. 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 Flames 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 Kujata 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 Affect 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, See Through, Throw, Metamorphosis,
Certain Kill, Manipulate and Mimicry 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 Swordplay, Double Item, Techniques of the
Enemy, or Continuous Slice, for example (but you can equip these
seperately, if you like).
- And of course, there are no Master Combination or Master Independant
Materia :)
=========================================================================
MATERIA LIST
=========================================================================
This section lists each Materia and explains it's abilities and other
information. A new addition to this section is 'AP to Master': this
tells you how many AP you will need to master that materia. It's easy
enough to check your current AP level in the Main Menu, but you can't
figure out what the master amount of AP is until you're at the next
to the last level--the reason for this addition.
=====================
GREEN MATERIA - SPELL
=====================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATERIA NAME (Translated Name) AP TO MASTER # OF LEVEL STARS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name in Japanese
Levels: Translated Name* MP Cost Effect when used
Changes to status when Materia is equipped:
Who has it when they first join you:
Where you can buy it from: (may change depending on what Disc
you're currently on)
Where you can find it at: (* anything else you should know)
* The translated name is often not the exact Japanese equivalent, but
rather, what the _intended_ meaning is. For example, the -ra and
-ga endings to some of the spells don't actually mean anything aside
from denoting the strength of the spell. Because numbers were used
in previous American FF games, I use '2' or '3' in the FAQ, although
that isn't exactly a 'by the book' translation. For more details,
please refer to the 'Translations' section.

*5 Reflect reflects a magic spell to the opposite party (foe to ally, ally
to foe) even if the caster and receiver are both allies or enemies.
If a spell affects more than one person, only the people with Reflect
will have the spell reflected.
Unlike previous Final Fantasy games, a reflected spell (at least, if
the reflective power is automatic or due to an accessory like the
Reflect Ring) will bounce back and forth until it 'breaks through'
a target's reflectiveness (which will still be there--it's not
permanently removed) or misses. This is quite a change from the
normal 'reflect one time' rule of other FF incarnations, and whether
it was programmed in purposely or is a glitch remains to be seen.
Riflek doesn't work against Juuryoku-type spells, Inseki-type spells,
Ultima, Shield, Debarrier, or Dispel.

NUSUMU (Steal) 50000 AP 3 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ぬすむ
LV1: NUSUMU (Steal) ぬすむ
Attempt to steal an item from an enemy. It doesn't always work,
and you can't steal if an enemy has no items.
LV2: BUNDORU (Plunder) ぶんどる
As above, but you will attack and steal at the same time. Once
you learn this, you can't use Nusumu.

NAGERU (Throw) 60000 AP 3 stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
なげる
LV1: NAGERU (Throw) なげる
You can throw one of the weapons in your inventory at an enemy.
You'll lose the weapon you throw, however. The only items you're
allowed to throw are: swords (Cloud), rods (Aerith), cannons
(Barett), shuriken (Yuffie), megaphones (Cait Sith), handguns
(Vincent), and spears (Cid). You cannot throw a weapon an ally
is equipped with.
LV2: ZENINAGE (Coin Toss) ぜになげ
Once you learn it, this command and Nageru switch constantly while
the Battle Window is open. If you choose it, you must then decide
how much money you will _keep_ by using the controller (just like
purchasing a certain amount of items). No matter how much gil you
toss, the maximum damage is always 9999. The ratio of gil to
damage points is 10:1, so you'd better have a lot of money.
