Of course with most final fantasy games you need to level to defeat certain monsters and boss fights. I never had troubles in this game personally, because I liked to level. You should also try to learn new limit breaks. To do this, you have to allow the enemies to hit you in order for your limit bar to go up. Of course you have to heal and use potions to heal yourself. Leveling is quite easy at any part of the game. However, in the first part of Midgar you are constantly moving, so it’s hard to do.

Materia is your source of magic and you can only fit so many per bangle. The basic spells are cure, fire, ice, bolt and etc. These spells can level into 4 different levels. For example fire 1, fire 2, fire 3, master fire or ice 1, ice 2, ice 3, and master ice. You can level these Materia by winning battles. Ap is awarded and added to your Materia that’s equipped. Each bangle has its own neat attributes. Some can double or triple your AP each battle.

You might be puzzled by me telling you to play the piano, but you have to do this right after you get out of Midgar. You go to an inn next to Midgar and talk about Sephiroth and how your character became soldier first class. In the flash back you have to play the piano a certain way to get Tifa Last Limit Break later on in the game. You can find it online through searching Google, because getting a guide now that this game is about 20 years old is hard to do.

Cloud has a really needed limit break that is needed for defeating most of the weapons. Weapons are the monsters that were trapped in the great crater where Jenova landed. You would have to learn the story to get acquainted with some of the terminology. You get clouds limit break in the gold saucers arena.

Vincent is the American character that was made when final fantasy 7 was brought to the United States for translation and to be released. This character is a big part of the story and well known to the Turks. He can change into many different monsters for his limit breaks. His last limit break monster is chaos and it’s a big help to defeating the diamond weapon.

Each character has an ultimate weapon. These weapons hit the hardest in the game and don’t give you AP per battle, so there best used when playing the end of the game or defeating monsters that have tons of hits.

Each weapon has its own way to being defeated. The Diamond weapon found under water and only reachable through your sub has tons of hits and is the easiest weapon to kill. Most of the weapons die in the main story. One of them gets destroyed with the mako canon blast that hits the craters shield that helps you get to Jenova and Sephiroth. You also have the one that attacks the Junon and gets his head blasted off. The Ruby Weapon is the hardest to defeat in my opinion. You can find him in the desert near the gold saucer. The last weapon is the ultimate weapon, where you get clouds last sword. He is found in the air and reachable with the Highwind your plane.

There is a lot you need to do in the game to get all your summon Materia, last weapons and last limit breaks. You will find that there are neat mini games to play and many different side quest that can help you learn more about each character. Have you every played this game?
