FINAL FANTASY VII Cheats

Ancient Forest
To get to the Ancient Forest before disc 3, simply ride up the hill with a black, gold or green chocobo.
Breed a Golden Chocobo
Take your airship to the northern continent and land near the green house. Walk around the green patches for a while until you fight a red dragon. Kill it over and over until you have at least 3 Carob Nuts. Then travel east to the islands.
Land near the Forest and kill a lot of Goblins until you have atleast 1 Zeio nut. Then mate 1 male and female jogging chocobo using the Carob nut at the Farm. You should have a blue or green baby. Then mate 1 walking male and 1 jogging female with a Carob nut. You should then have a blue or green baby.
Make sure you have 1 male blue or green and 1 female blue or green chocobo. Feed them a lot of food, then go race them at the golden saucer. When they reach class A stop racing them. Then mate the green and blue A-class chocobos using the Carob nut. You should then have the black Chocobo, if not try mating with the Zeio nut.
Next, land near the chocobo tracks in the northern continent and find 1 running chocobo that has its head down that is the opposite sex as your black chocobo. Feed them a lot of food then race them till they are class A. Mate the newly A class chocobos with the Zeio nut and then you should have the golden chocobo.
Cait Sidhe's Level 3 Limit Break - Japanese
Cait Sith has a level 3 limit break which will kill all enemies in one hit. This is tested and proven in the Japanese FFVII. To get it, you must use Cait Sith to kill 954 enemies. The Level 3 limit should be highlighted, but there will be no name. For activation, it will take about 36 times your HP damage. It will look like an error, because it is, but when activated, an error message will appear and the battle will continue as if the enemy was killed in one hit.(I killed Sephiroth with it and it skipped to Cloud's imaginary battle.
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!!!
Chocobo Racing
While racing the chocobos, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 to increase your speed. To increase your speed. To increase their stamina, hold R1 + R2.
Convert Gil to GP in the Golden Saucer
Sometimes when you exit the tram, you'll find a man hidden in the top left part of the room. He is very hard to see though if you find him and talk to him he will ask if you want to trade Gil for GP. Note that he appears at random, so if he isn't there, leave the Saucer and come back.
Easy Money, AP and Experience
Go to the desert outside of the golden saucer and walk around for a while. Sooner or later a little cactus man will appear. You can't beat him with magic or weapons, but he can be defeated by summoning Chocobos or Mogs. If you manage to kill him he's worth 10,000 gil! For better results, head for the Mideel Area (an island in the south) and look for Sea Worms. Each one you defeat is worth 1300 EXP, 200 AP and 5000 gil!
Effortless GP Gain
To do this trick, you need: A joystick controller with rapid-fire settings. Access to the Gold Saucer. Go to Wonder Square, and up to the arm-wrestling game. Wrap a rubberband around your joystick so that it's pulled to the upper left diagonal, so that Cloud continuously walks into the arm-wrestling machine but not into the GP-trading girl. Now, turn on the rapid-fire for the 'O' button. Cloud will now repeatedly challenge
and beat the wrestling game. Slowly but surely, your GP will increase. It takes a while, so it's probably best to set this up just before you go to bed at night, and leave it on while you sleep. By morning, you should have plenty of GP to buy your Gold Pass and the two secret Materia: XP-Plus and Gil-Plus. Cheater!
Emerald Weapon
Having trouble beating Emerald Weapon? Just equip at least two of your party members with the mime command and have the other member equipped with the Knights of the Round summon as well as the W-Summon materia. Cast Knights of the Round twice and have the other two members of your party mime the
attack.
When the rotation comes back around to the person without the mime command, DON'T ATTACK! Wait for one of the members with the mime command to come up again and have them use mime again. You can keep alternating back and forth between the two until Emerald Weapon is dead. Also be sure to have one of your members equipped with the Final Attack + Revive materia combination. Emerald Weapon has 1,000,000 hit points, I've counted, and when it begins to run low it uses it special attack which takes off 9,999 from your entire party.
Note: if all three of your members have the mime command the fight is much easier.
Knights of the Round Table
Ride the Golden Chocobo to the North-Eastern part of the map. There you'll find a hidden island with a cave. Enter the cave and talk to the red light to receive the "Nights of the Round Table" spell.
Limit Break Manuals
To learn Level 4 limit breaks you'll need to find the manuals. Here's how to find them.
Cloud: Trade 32,000 battle points at the Golden Saucer.
Tifa: Go to Nibel area (Tifa's house) and play these piano notes, X, square, triangle, L1 + triangle, L1 + square, X, square, triangle, L1 + X, O, X, square, X. Exit the piano then play that same tune again. Enter the piano again but this time press L1 + triangle.
Barret:A lady will give it to you in North Coral.
Aeris: Southeast of Midgar there is a small cave with a man living there. Talk to him when you have battled a certain number of battles that end in the same number, such as 122, 133, 144. He will then give you a Mithril orb. Take the Mithril to the Blacksmith's house on the south peninsula near Cosmo Canyon. He will trade you
for the limit break manual for the Mithril, or you can choose to have a gold bracelet.
Red XIII: In the Nibel area there is a mansion and on the second floor of this mansion there is a safe. To crack this code turn right 36, left 10, right 59, and right 97. Then the safe will open to reveal a miniboss.Kill the miniboss and you will recieve Red VIII's Manual.
Vincent: Land near the waterfall and use the green, black, gold chocobo or the submarine to pass the mountain. Then enter the waterfall. (You must have Vincent in your group and must be done first in disc 2) go forward and it will show Vincent's past. Then leave. Return if you are already in disc three and you'll get not only the manual but a weapon of Vincent.
Cid: Cid's manual is in one of the chests in the sunken plane.
Yuffie: Go to Wutai and enter the tower with yuffie and let yuffie beat all the bosses including her father and you'll get a manual and Leviathan materia.
Morph Enemies Easily
For an easy way to morph enemies, have W-Magic Materia, Gravity Materia + "All" Materia, and Morph Materia. Have someone else cast Reflect on the party, then have the person with W-Magic use Demi 3 on your party twice. It will reflect and hit the enemy six times without killing it, but will greatly reduce it's HP's. At this point, you can easily morph it.
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.
Quad Magic Without a Chocobo
Use high wind to go to Mideel. Go north, and you should find a little cliff (looks more like a staircase). On the edge, get on the higher side of the cliff and press X to go down, also pressing the square button and left.
After a few tries, the high wind will stay on the cliff but the character will be on the lower side. Now you can walk to the materia cave on land, without a special chocobo.
Re-enter Midgar
It is possible to get back into Midgar after you have left (not including by parachute.) On disc 3, go back to Midgar and talk to the man standing outside the fence. He says he has misplaced his key and that it is probably back at the dig site he just left.
To find the key, go to Bone Village and tell the foreman you want to look for Normal Treasure. Place some of the workers up top in front of the tent and set off the blast. They will point to a spot on the ground, so have them dig there overnight.
In the morning open the treasure chest and you should have the Key to the Sector 5 Slums. Now go back to Midgar and go through the gate. Go back to Wall Market and go to the shop where the item machine was broken before (the one that shot at you), and try to use it now. You will recieve Tifa's ultimate weapon.
Recover Missing Items
Did you miss something important? Fear not. Once you get to disc 3 you can recover anything by excavating for it in the Bone Village.
Recruit Vincent
In the Shinra mansion at Nibbhiem, there is a safe on the top floor. The combination is: Right to 36, Left to 10, Right to 59 then Right to 97. Make sure you don't go to far left or to far right when turning. When it opens kill the monster, then get the stuff in the safe. Descent the spiral staircase and into the coffin room. Vincent is in one of the coffins. Talk to him and leave then come back and talk to him and he will join you.
Recruit Yufie
Near the exploded Mako site there is a small forest. Wonder around in it until you fight a ninja woman. After you defeat her there will be a save point. DO NOT USE THIS or she will run away. Talk to her and tell her you don't want to fight her again. Then tell her your terrified of her. When she asks if you need her help, say "Yes" then tell her that you're leaving and don't ask for her name.
Red Submarine
The first time you pilot a submarine, lose the battle and you will wind up on the shore neer Cannon town. Head back into Cannon town and ride the elevator back inside the main complex. Make a left turn and go back to the sub docking area where you were before the sub battle. Two gaurds and a dog are blocking the pathway, kill the gaurds and talk to the dog. Follow it and you will find the Red Submarine.
