  4. Skip Return to Midgar glitch

    This glitch allows you to skip Returning to Midgar, however you will permanently miss Barret's and Caith Sith's ultimate weapon's and a Tough Ring, Ziedrich and Minerva Band by doing so. After defeating Diamond Weapon when he approaches Midgar, head towards Northern Crater in the Highwind to continue the story. When you reach the scene between Scarlet, Reeve and Heidegger in the meeting room, after Reeve says "I don't give a damn about the details!!", hold Right + Run. If successful, in the next scene your characters will appear next to Hojo to stop him, instead of seeing him talking to himself.

  5. Unlimited elixirs

    In the ice field there's a cave with an elixir in it. Grab it but DON'T push the CANCEL button to let the text disappear that says that you've got an elixir. Normally you can't do anything when that message is on screen but this place is an exception; here you can walk out the cave and re-enter and get it again and again... Note that if you let the text disappear the item will be removed from the screen and you can't get it again.

  6. Getting the Quadra Magic without a Chocobo

    There is a way to get the materia "Quadra Magic" without having to breed a River Chocobo. You'll need the Highwind. Fly it to the most southwestern tip of land on the map and you'll notice a cave. Follow this back (Mideel way) until you get to a slightly upraised piece of land. Go as far as you can to the edge of the cliff. Face the Highwind south. Press the land button and quickly but lightly press PAGEDOWN. The Highwind should land half on the cliff and half off. You can now walk up to the cave and get the Quadra Magic.

  7. Yuffie Warping Glitch

    This glitch is very useful, as it allows you to go to virtually any point in the game at any time. It is also exclusive to the PC release. First, you need one save file or more in which you do not have Yuffie recruited at all. With that condition met, load this save and save in the overworld map: save near a forest of some kind, for we will later need to recruit Yuffie for this. Go to a non-overworld area (such as Midgar, the cave near the Chocobo Farm, etc.) and lose in a battle there, thereby obtaining a Game Over - it will also work if you do this when fighting Diamond Weapon in the overworld. Next, load that world map-saved file mentioned earlier. Enter a forest without going into any town, dungeon, etc. - you must remain in the overworld map. When you find the "Mystery Ninja" (Yuffie) and win the battle, you will find yourself not in the empty field you would normally Yuffie in. Instead, you will be where your last Game Over happened. If the battle you achieved the Game Over on was forced (i.e. boss battle), then you'll replay that battle - if it was a random battle, then you will find yourself in the exact spot in the field where the battle was triggered. This can be utilized in various ways. The most prominent of these is to keep Aeris as a member of your party despite her departure at the end of the City of the Ancients sequence. You can also replay any area you like as many times as you want, should you feel the need to examine the various paths, such as at the final dungeon. This can also be used for challenge playthroughs to get to far-ahead areas at exorbitantly low levels, to replay areas you can only access once, and to refight the Diamond Weapon repeatedly to earn lots of EXP. and AP. (This latter aspect is done by getting the Game Over against Diamond Weapon, reloading, fighting him, and then finding Yuffie and executing the glitch ad infinitum.)

  8. Enter Debug Room

    For this glitch, you need two files. For File 1, you need to have the Highwind and still not have Yuffie on your file. For File 2, you need to have saved just prior to the Motor Ball boss battle. Load File 1 and land near the Chocobo Ranch, preferably in a spot you can remember as it will be invisible during the glitch. Go through Mythril Cave as normal and save just outside the forest near Junon. Load File 2 and begin the boss battle. Have a Game Over in that battle. Load File 1 again and fight in the forest until you find Yuffie. Defeat her and, instead of the scene loading that usually does, you will be warped instead into the Motor Ball battle. Defeat it. (Note that this does not necessarily allow your File 1 characters to enter File 2; rather, it just alters a value in the game's data that says "when" you are in terms of plot, so there's no item duplication or the like.)

    Go to the Rocket Town side of Mt. Nibel via the Highwind. Land and make sure that Tifa, Cait Sith, Cid, and Vincent are not in your active party. Go into Mt. Nibel. It will take a moment for the game to let you control the character; wait for about 30 seconds until text appears on-screen from a flashback. Scroll through it, leave Mt. Nibel, and save in the overworld. Reload this file and kill two party members in one battle. After, use the PHS to swap them out for other characters, then kill the only other one from the original group and end the next battle. Swap all three KO'ed members into the party. Enter Mt. Nibel and then get into a battle, in turn getting a Game Over.

    Next, load the file on which you want to enter a Debug Room. Go to the Rocket Town side of Mt. Nibel, enter a battle in the overworld, and win. After, leave Mt. Nibel and go to Junon via the Highwind. In the overworld, enter battles in the grass at random and keep escaping battles until you find one with 2 Nerosuferoth and 1 Formula (25% chance to find). Escape this battle, too, then start flying and land in the Highwind immediately thereafter, and win the next random battle you find. You will then be warped into the Debug Room. Further details on how to operate the Debug Menu are contained in an FAQ in the FAQs section.

  9. Secret Cow Level (Northern Cave)

    The Steam PC version of Final Fantasy VII contains an area in the Northern Cave that is named "Secret Cow Level", but to have the name revealed in the menu and save file windows, you much reach the room and use your Save Crystal in there! The room looks like a crater with materia ebbing below. When entering for the first time, Cloud will say : "Another fork in the road...".

    Use your Save Crystal in that room, and it reveals itself as the "Secret Cow Level". Your save files can display it as will the menu. Enjoy this Diablo reference!

Final Fantasy VII Cheats For PlayStation

  1. W-Item Duplication Glitch and Extensions

    The W-Item Duplication Glitch requires, to start with, the W-Item Materia. The initial abuse of it is simple. Enter the items menu in battle and select an item, a target, then select a second item, and cancel. Then select the item and cancel again, and repeat ad infinitum: in doing so, the first item selected will be continually cloned.

    There is a drawback to this in that it only works with items selected in battle. There is a workaround for this involving the Morph Materia and finding a foe that Morphs into the desired item you wish to clone. Put a nonconsequential item of quantity 1 - such as a lone Potion - in the top-left of the item list and then get into a battle with the foe who has the desired Morph. Order one character to kill the foe, and other another to Morph it. Have the third use W-Item, select the (in this example) Potion, a target, and then wait for the Morph to succeed. Once it does - thereby replacing the Potion from before - select a second item, then cancel, and repeat the process. This Morphed item will now be cloned repeatedly, even if it is not selectable in battle, making it very efficient at cloning, for example, stat-boosting Sources or equipment.

    Another extension allows having two of the same item, but numbering 99 in each stock for a total of 198. You'll need one character with the W-Item and another with the Steal Materia, in addition to one of the item to be cloned. Arrange your items such that one slot is blank above the item to be cloned. In battle, you need to have one character Steal from the W-Item wielder. Quickly enter the items menu with the W-Item user and select the item in the inventory and a target, then wait for Steal to succeed. The stolen item will reappear in the inventory in the blank slot from before (the intentionally-blank one). You can now use the select-cancel process to clone the original item, and then you can do the same with the item that filled the blank slot, allowing you to obtain up to 198 of the same item from one utilization of the glitch.

  2. All Lucky 7s

    If a character's HP is 7777 at any time during battle, it will go into a frenzy of super-accelerated, uncontrollable attacks, each hitting for 7777 damage to a random enemy. If a character has 7777 HP at the end of the battle, its HP will be reduced to 1 when you return to the field.

    Contributed by: Melchior 

  3. Easy Strength Gain

    You need the Morph materia and a character's ultimate weapon(optional but makes it easier when morphing) for this to work. Go to the Gongaga Reactor(the ruined one) and go to the reactor itself in the place and just walk around until you get into a battle, you should fight a Heavy Tank(the triceratops tank,if i'm right it's a 100% encounter rate) and use morph and it'll turn to a power source. You can keep morphing these guys into power sources and easily max a character's strength out.

  4. Red sub

    To get reno's red sub you must fail the attack on the red sub(Don't crash it). When you can go back to junon, go to the submarine dock and once there talk to the dog blocking the door and it will move leaving you to go through. Now the sub will be there and you can take it. However you will miss one huge materia this way

  5. How to get into Midgar in disc 2

    If you try to get back into Midgar you will see a man standing by the door who will say that he lost the key on a tour of bone village. Go to bone village and order a search by the tent at the top of the village. This may take a couple of trys but when you get it you enter sector 5 by Aeris's church and you can go to sector 6 as well.

  6. Get Knights of the Round Summon

    To get this cool summon spell you will need to breed a gold chocobo and go to a island that is not on the map but if in the top right corner. In the cave on the island you will find the ultimate summon spell that does 70,000+ damage when used once!

    Contributed by: Omega_Tamheed 

  7. Cactuar island.

    Cactuar island is an island so small it wont show up on the radar and this is the only place you can run into cactuars.

    First off you need the airship. When you have the airship go fly above cosmo canyon. Then go strait south. It will be hard to miss.

    Contributed by: sniperkill 

  8. Easy Stat source items

    In the downed plane where you find Heavens cloud, every enemy morphs into some sort of source! A really easy way to do this is to get Yuffie doing good damage (5000 and up?) and have her morph them, as her weapon dosn't lower the damage of morph. Another great thing to do is to combine the mega all materia to get all the enemies at once. Even one hour of this will show great results!

    Contributed by: biz842 

  9. Learning the enemy-skill chocobuckle

    This is no doubt the most difficult enemy-skill to obtain. First you must have the enemy-skill "level 4 suicide" which can be learned from the "Mu" enemies, and you must have 1 mimett green. Now equip the "chocobo lure" and "sense" materia and find a chocobo around the chocobo ranch area on the chocobo footprints, once you find one, use the sense command on the chocobo to see if its level 16 (since "level 4 suicide" only affects targets whose level is a multiple of 4.) If it is level 16, feed the chocobo your mimett green and cast level 4 suicide on the stuffed bird, the chocobo will counter with "chocobuckle", hitting the one who casted "level 4 suicide". Finally, chocobuckle is yours.

  10. Getting the Quadra Magic without a Chocobo

    There is a way to get the materia "Quadra Magic" without having to breed a River Chocobo. You'll need the Highwind. Fly it to the most southwestern tip of land on the map and you'll notice a cave. Follow this back (Mideel way) until you get to a slightly upraised piece of land. Go as far as you can to the edge of the cliff. Face the Highwind south. Press the land button and quickly but lightly press R1. The Highwind should land half on the cliff and half off. You can now walk up to the cave and get the Quadra Magic.

  11. Unlimited elixirs

    You can get unlimited elixirs.
    In the ice field there's a cave with an elixir in it. Grab it but DON'T push the X-button to let the text disappear that says that you've got an elixir. Normally you can't do anything when that message is on screen but this place is an exception; here you can walk out the cave and re-enter and get it again and again...
    Note that if you let the text disappear the item will be removed from the screen and you can't get it again.

  12. Get Out from North Crater

    Want to get out from North Crater but don't know how? Well, there's a way.
    If you remember, there's a hole near the cliff where you slided down the Crater. Go there. If you don't know where it is, its entrance is near where you first stepped your foot on North Crater.
    Now, there's a rock that shaped like a ladder that leads to the upper side of the crater on the right side of the hole. Although there is no green triangle (sign of a ladder), that is actually a ladder that lets you go up.
    After you climb up that ladder, you can board the Highwind again and get out from North Crater.

  13. Ancient Forest Revival

    After you gain acess to the Ancient Forest, there is a way to revive your characters without using a Phoenix Down. If you have a dead character, walk into one of the "fly traps" and make it swallow you. When it spits you back out, your dead character will be revived (with one HP left :P )

    Contributed by: MatthiasVII 

  14. Tougher Enemies for Fast Leveling and AP

    This glitch is exploitable after passing through Junon the first time and returning via the ship after completing the episode at Gold Saucer. Board the ship at Costa del Sol. Go to Junon and head away from the dock that the ship is at. Follow the main road to the tunnel that divides the city in two. In the tunnel there should be a number of Shinra soldiers drilling. On the left wall, there is a red box. Go up to it and press the action button. You should hear a siren going off. Walk around and you will get into random encounters with enemies that aren't supposed to be encountered until Junon is attacked by Weapon on disc 2. You will probably need to use summons and magic continuously during your first few battles to defeat the enemies. Don't forget to save money on potions, ethers, and phoenix downs by using the Junon Inn, which is also a good place to save.

  15. Cactuar Ghost in Snowboarding Game

    It's possible to unlock a hidden ghost in the snowboarding mini-game at Gold Saucer, but it's very difficult to do.

    Get a satisfactory score in all of the courses and a yellow balloon will appear near the start of the mini-game that activates Time Attack. Get through the Beginner Course and then choose to retry. Now, start Time Attack and go to the Beginner Course. There'll be a silver balloon there that increases your speed when collected.

    Here's the tough part: You must set a record of under 00'54''000 on the Beginner Course. If you succeed, start Time Attack mode and pause the game. Go to options and then ghost. You'll notice a new "? ? ?" option at the bottom. Select it and a running cactuar will replace the moogle. The ghost and your record can be saved on your file.

  16. Play scratched disks trick

    If your game freezes when trying to play cut scenes because your disk is scratched, simply restart and swap to another disk just before the cut scene. It will instead play the wrong cut scene, but you can continue playing as normal.

  17. Infinite Regen Glitch (PS1 only)

    Cast Regen on your characters, then open the disk tray, Regen will continue working but the enemy won't ever attack until you close the disk tray. Close the disk tray when your characters have fully recovered.

  18. Skip Return to Midgar glitch

    This glitch allows you to skip Returning to Midgar, however you will permanently miss Barret's and Caith Sith's ultimate weapon's and a Tough Ring, Ziedrich and Minerva Band by doing so. After defeating Diamond Weapon when he approaches Midgar, head towards Northern Crater in the Highwind to continue the story. When you reach the scene between Scarlet, Reeve and Heidegger in the meeting room, after Reeve says "I don't give a damn about the details!!", hold Right + X (run). If successful, in the next scene your characters will appear next to Hojo to stop him, instead of seeing him talking to himself.

  19. Save Point Glitch

    This glitch can be used to allow you to utilize the functions of a Save Point anywhere in the field. When loading your game from a saved file that was saved at a Save Point (one not created by the Save Crystal), as the game loads, try to move in any direction during the black screen between the file selection screen and the game itself. If you manage to move off of the Save Point before the black screen turns to reveal the game itself, you will always be treated as being at a Save Point. (To check this, when the game is loaded, you can enter the menu to be able to save and use the PHS, even though off the Save Point.) Thus, you can save and switch characters around at any time. This effect will last until you touch another Save Point or reset the console.

    Contributed by: Anonymous 

  20. Damage Overflow Glitch

    There are two equally-valid ways in which this glitch may occur, each with the same results: instant-killing of even the toughest of enemies. For this, you must either have Vincent's Death Penalty or Barret's Missing Score weapons. To use this glitch, you must abuse these weapons' mechanics for damage calculation: in this case, you must kill 65,535 enemies with the Death Penalty (though 40,000+ will suffice) or equip 8,000,000 AP of Materia onto the Missing Score (though 4,000,000 suffices, such as 8 Mastered Knights of the Round Materia). However, do not equip the HP Absorb Materia onto either of these characters, as the damage overflow will in turn cause a healing overflow and death.

    Once either of the conditions above is met, simply enter a battle. Because of the extreme damage caused under these conditions, the game will interpret the high damage as high healing, which it in turn interprets as a glitch and kills off the enemy outright. This will also happen with any enemy or boss, making it very viable, particularly with the Weapon bosses. These are not the only conditions by which the glitch can be abused, either, but are the easiest to achieve and work with 100% regularity.

  21. Clone Save Crystals

    This glitch will only be executable on Disc 3, when you actually obtain the Save Crystal in the Northern Crater, which has the purpose of creating a Save Point anywhere desired. Normally, only one per playthrough can be earned, but you can earn a second through a glitch! When the paths split up in the Northern Crater, use the southwestbound path. On the third screen, there will be a chest containing an X-Potion. Move close to the edge of the ledge of the first chest - which contains the X-Potion - and then jump down and open the chest the split second you begin to jump down. Do not close the message box confirming you earned the X-Potion! If done correctly, you should still be able to move around, despite the text box; move near to the southern exit such that Cloud's face is off-screen but you have not left the area. Enter the menu and use the Save Crystal. When asked in the field if you wish to make a Save Point, answer "Yes" and immediately run west and to the next area. In this area, there will be another request for the Save Point. Answer "No" and go back an area, where you'll find a Save Point, but you'll still have the Save Crystal in the inventory.

  22. Resist/Absorb Ultima Weapon's Ultima Beam

    In Final Fantasy VII, there is an unnamed element hidden in the game code that was partially scrapped pre-release, including its own name. Few attacks actually use this element, and only one does that deals damage: the devastating Ultima Beam attack from Ultima Weapon. It is very possible to abuse this partial-deletion by placing the Elemental Materia linked to a non-elemental Materia (such as Restore) on your armor. If you do so, depending on the level of the Elemental Material, you will halve the damage from Ultima Beam, nullify it, or even absorb, taking a lot of difficulty out of this battle.

    The Test 0 enemy is what is likely a beta enemy used for testing in the Japanese versions of Final Fantasy VII; however, it was improperly deleted pre-release and still can be fought, but only in the Japanese release. You can find it as a random encounter in the well in the Corel Prison area in PlayStation release; in the original PC release, you can switch CDs just as the battle loads.

    The Test 0 enemy comes with a number of benefits in fighting it: 100 AP, 1,000 EXP., and 10,000 Gil, making it notoriously easy to grind in a number of ways at this early point in the game. Defeating them will take a long time, however, as they have 30,000 HP, but the rewards make it much worth it compared to grinding against hundreds of weaker enemies for the same prizes. Note that, after the battle ends, you will return to the world map from the last point you left it, which also makes dangerous sequencing-breaking glitches possible (dangerous as they can ruin your file by making it unbeatable): it is therefore preferred you visit this area at a later time when you can freely travel rather than needing to be in the Corel Prison (in the PlayStation version) or needing to meet events in a certain area (PC version).

Final Fantasy VII Cheats For PlayStation 4

  1. W-Item Duplication Glitch and Extensions

    The W-Item Duplication Glitch requires, to start with, the W-Item Materia. The initial abuse of it is simple. Enter the items menu in battle and select an item, a target, then select a second item, and cancel. Then select the item and cancel again, and repeat ad infinitum: in doing so, the first item selected will be continually cloned.

    There is a drawback to this in that it only works with items selected in battle. There is a workaround for this involving the Morph Materia and finding a foe that Morphs into the desired item you wish to clone. Put a nonconsequential item of quantity 1 - such as a lone Potion - in the top-left of the item list and then get into a battle with the foe who has the desired Morph. Order one character to kill the foe, and other another to Morph it. Have the third use W-Item, select the (in this example) Potion, a target, and then wait for the Morph to succeed. Once it does - thereby replacing the Potion from before - select a second item, then cancel, and repeat the process. This Morphed item will now be cloned repeatedly, even if it is not selectable in battle, making it very efficient at cloning, for example, stat-boosting Sources or equipment.

    Another extension allows having two of the same item, but numbering 99 in each stock for a total of 198. You'll need one character with the W-Item and another with the Steal Materia, in addition to one of the item to be cloned. Arrange your items such that one slot is blank above the item to be cloned. In battle, you need to have one character Steal from the W-Item wielder. Quickly enter the items menu with the W-Item user and select the item in the inventory and a target, then wait for Steal to succeed. The stolen item will reappear in the inventory in the blank slot from before (the intentionally-blank one). You can now use the select-cancel process to clone the original item, and then you can do the same with the item that filled the blank slot, allowing you to obtain up to 198 of the same item from one utilization of the glitch.

  2. All Lucky 7s

    If a character's HP is 7777 at any time during battle, it will go into a frenzy of super-accelerated, uncontrollable attacks, each hitting for 7777 damage to a random enemy. If a character has 7777 HP at the end of the battle, its HP will be reduced to 1 when you return to the field.

    Contributed by: Melchior 

  3. Speed Square Glitch

    There is currently a glitch in Speed Square where the race freezes at the end due to a bug. To be able to play the race normally and obtain the rewards, you need to change the date on your PS4 to 11-15-2015. If you try playing it normally or use any other date, the game will freeze and you'll have to exit the application entirely.
