Getting Yuffie-To find Yuffie you should fight in the forest areas on the world map near Gongana or the temple of the Ancients. 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
Getting Vincent-One of the hidden characters in the game, Vincent can also join your party during any disc. You'll need the gold key from the safe in Nibelheim's Shinra Mansion (the code is- right 36,left 10,right 59,right97) Go down to the cavern leading to Sephiroth's library (it's in the Shinra 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.. Then try to leave the cavern and he'll join you. Vincent can join you from the first time you reach Nibelheim onwards (but not during Cloud's flashback).
Ancient Forest-To gain access to the Ancient Forest on disk 3 you need the Highwind. Fly around until you see the Flying Ultimate Weapon and keep ramming it with your ship. You will then fight Weapon, but it will flies away. If you keep following Weapon and attacking it, it will finally try to destroy Cosmo Canyon. Ram it again and destroy it. After you had done that you will receive Cloud's Ultimate weapon
Date
with Barret or Tifa (not sure about this one)
Tifa-Never talk to Tifa, unless it is vital for the
progression of the game. Then, when Aeris dies, Cloud will get a date with Tifa.
Barret:
Never talk to Aeris of Tiffa, unless it is vital for the progression of the
game. Then, once you enter Kalm for the very first time, Barret will ask Cloud
for a date.
Chocabo Racing-While racing the chocobos, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 to slowly increase your stamina. Hold L1 + R1 for extra speed
Convert
Gil to GP in the Golden Saucer-Find
a man hidden in the top left part of the room, he is very hard to see but when
you find him, he will ask you if you will trade Gil for GP
back
room of Cosmo canyon store:
This has a back room, which is
roped off when your characters first arrive. Check back after Meteor has been
summoned. The rope will be gone, allowing your characters to walk back in the
room and get an Elixir, Magic Source, and the "Full Cure" Materia.
Unlimited Items!-for this to work you need W-summon. In any battle select the item that you want more of and give it to yourself or the enemy. Then select the same or any other item (make sure that the hand is pointing to a character) and then de-select the item, then reselect the item (as if your about to give it to someone) then de-select it, select it, de-select it, select it (O,X,O,X is what you should be pressing)...ect the item should gradually be going up.
Nibelheim safe-In the Shinra mansion you will find a safe on the top floor inside you will find a basement key to release Vincent and Odin. You will have to battle a pretty tough boss though. Anyway, to get into the safe the code is: Left 10, Right 36, Right 59, Right 97
Gi tribe Boss-To kill this boss in one move simply give it an X potion.
Secret cave- 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 (Mythril). Next, go to the small house where that man told you that he sold the key stone to the gold saucer owner . Talk to the man in the house, and when he gives you a choice, pick the top option. You'll lose the Mythril, but you now have the choice of opening the long wooden chest by the bed to get a Gold Armlet, or examining the metal lid on the upper floor at the end of the walkway to get the manual for Aeris's Level 4 Limit Break.
Midgar key-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. See the one excavator 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 Aeris, 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 Battery from to reach the Shinra Building back in Disc 1? The man in the left side of the shop will sell you an accessory (Sneak Glove) for 129,000 gil this time around.
The
unreachable item in kalm:
There
is, or I used to think that there was an unreachable item in the cupboard
on the second floor of the inn in Kalm. I used to think that it was just there
to keep you frustrated, but there is actually a very simple way to get it. You
have to attempt to open the cabinet five times in a row, and Cloud will finally
swear and kick the cabinet so that the item falls out. It's a Megalixir, which
can be very useful early in the game.
Turtle's paradise-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 Aeris' 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 Arms Shop. 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: Watai...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.
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 Wutai (the large building in the southwestern corner of town). Talk to the barkeep and you'll get a Power Source, Guard Source, Magic Source, Mind Source, Speed Source, Luck Source, and a Mega Elixir.
Lucky 7's-Get one of your character HP up to 7777. 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. 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. They can still lose HP. There is a major drawbacks to this trick; your current HP drops to 1 point after the battle (it can be healed by normal means).
FMV 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 Mako 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 Seperioth for the last time.)
