Final Fantasy VII

Unlimited items - this trick requires the W-Item materia. The materia is obtained after your party parachutes back into Midgar in Disc 3. After entering the subway tunnels in Sector 8, your party may walk away from the screen and encounter the Turks, or walk towards the screen to reach another subway section. Select the second choice and follow the subway tunnel until it ends at a dead end with the W-Item materia.
Equip the materia on the character with the item to be duplicated. When a battle
begins, select the W-Item entry on the battle menu, select an unimportant item and use
it on any character. On the second item choice, select the item to be duplicated by
pressing Circle, then press X to cancel your selection and increase the number of that
item in inventory. Repeatedly press Circle followed by X to accumulate 99 of the
duplicated item. Note: This will only duplicate item selectable in battle and can not be
used to duplicate the various sources, materia, weapons, or armor.

Easy Battle Square handicaps - during the "slot machine" handicap sequence, rapidly tap Square in the Battle Square
section at Gold Saucer. The slots will slow down, allowing an easier selection of your
handicap. Note: This trick will also work in a similar manner with Cait Sith's limit break.

Easy Chocobo races - while racing a Chocobo, hold R1 + R2 to slowly restore energy.

Virtual immortality - connect the Phoenix Summon and Final Attack materia in any linked slot. When your
party dies, there Hitpoints will be completely restored. This makes killing Ruby,
Emerald, and Sephiroth simple, just make sure you have enough Mindpoints to use the
Phoenix Summon.

Special battle - to get to the URA battle (special battle) in the Battle Arena, first gain 64000 battle points and buy the W-Summon materia. Next get 32000 battle points and buy Cloud's level 4 limit, Omnislash. Equip Omnislash and talk to the lady at the counter in the battle arena, and she will ask you if you want to participate in a special battle. Beat all 8 enemies and get the Final attack materia.

Underwater plane crash - if you wander around in the submarine you'll eventually find a downed plane. Ram it with
your sub to board it. Inside you'll find powerful Materia, items, weapons, and a lot of
Turks and monsters.

Prevent back attacks - if your battle starts with a "Back Attack" hold L1 and R1 for a moment then release
them. This will turn you around before your opponents get a shot.

Cast any spell three times - to cast three magic spells in one round, first equip someone with a Magic Materia + "All" Support Materia. You'll also need Barrier Materia with the Reflect spell learned. When you enter battle, cast Reflect on the entire party, (your party). Then cast the magic spell that was connected to the "All" Materia on YOUR party. Even though you casted the spell once, it will be reflected and returned to the enemy hitting for three times! And for the same price of the usual MP's. What's even better is that if you have W-Magic, you can cast that spell twice, or two different spells (both need to be connected to "All" Materia) hitting for six times!!!

Ancient forest - to get to the Ancient Forest before disc 3, simply ride up the hill with a black, gold or green chocobo.

Hints

Extra money-
Sell a Master level All materia to get 1.4 million Gil. Since another All materia will
appear when the original reaches master level, there will be no loss in usefulness.

Nibelheim safe combination-
The combination to the safe in the old mansion in Nibelheim is Right 36, Left 10,
Right 59, Right 97. After opening the safe and fighting the monster inside, a key
to the other part of the mansion and the Odin summoning materia will be found.

Rocket ship security case -
The code to get the Huge materia out of the security case aboard the rocket ship
is Circle, Square, X, X. Then, visit Red XIII's grandfather, Bugenhagen, in Cosmo
Canyon. Visit is observatory and approach the huge materia. Look closer to
receive the Bahamut ZERO summoning materia.
