In battle, each character has a guage which fills up according to how much damage they incur. This guage is known as a Limit guage. When the characters guage is full, they can perform a move which is much more powerful than a normal attack. This move is called a Limit Break. There are 4 levels of Limit Breaks and each level usually has 2 Limit Breaks on it. Up until the end of the third level, the Limit Breaks appear once you have killed 10-12 people in battle since the level last went up but the 4th level Limit Manuals are scattered around the world and have to be found seperately. Here's how to get them...

Cloud - Omnislash is available when you get 32 000 BP at the Gold Saucer (not too hard). Just buy it at the vending machines to either side of the entrance. (On disc one, it costs 64 000 BP)

Tifa - When you go to Nibelheim, play on Tifa's piano in her bedroom in her house. Play x, square, triangle, R1 and triangle, R1 and square, X, square, triangle and you will get Final Heaven.

Barrett - To get Catastrophe, you need to return to Corel after Meteor has been summoned, go up the stairs and into the large tent. In there, talk to the woman and she will give you Barrett's L4 limit break

Aeris - Getting Great Gospel is quite time consuming. It needs to be done early in the game. After you have the buggy, go back to the Fort Condor area on the Junon boat and cross the shallow water path just east of the fort. There you will see a cave and there will be a man who will tell you the number of battle you have fought. To complete this stage of getting the Limit Break, the number of battles you have fought will need to end with two digits which are the same ie; 655 or 311. Then, seeing as he lives in the Mythril Mine, he will give you some Mythril. Then, you have to go to the weapon seller south east of The Gold Saucer who lives in a small house on a point of land next to GS. Offer him the Mythril and say you want to exchange it. After the conversation, go upstairs to where his bed is and look in the safe. You will then get Great Gospel

Red XII - To get Cosmo Memory (the worst limit break in the game, I hasten to add), you need to open the safe in the Nibelheim mansion (see 'Getting Vincent'). Then, fight the boss, win, and you will get Cosmo memory in the items list after the battle.

Yuffie - All Creation is in Wutai. You have to accept the challenge of beating all five bosses in the pagoda and win. At the end, after defeating Yuffie's father (Godo, I think), you will get All Creation and Leviathan summon materia too.

Cid - Go to the Sunken plane offshore of the Gold Saucer and search all the safes. In one of them, you will find Highwind . What happens is The Highwind comes and shoots lots of missiles at the opponent.

Vincent - On disc 2, go to Lucrecias cave with the Submarine or a Gold Chocobo and do nothing, but then, return on Disc 3 to get Chaos. You also get Death Penalty, his ultimate weapon.
