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.
Avoiding the Midgar Zolom
When you must cross the marsh near the Chocobo Ranch, you are supposed to get a Chocobo. Get whatever you want from the ranch, then position yourself as far out into the marsh without actually stepping in it. Wait until the snake goes way off to the left and run straight across without looking back. You should make it in the nick of time. Note: Save before attempting this, as it may require more than one attempt.
Cast magic three times at an opponent
Have all characters have Reflect status. Cast any attack spell on all three of your characters. The spell will bounce three times into the enemy, each with the attack power of a full spell.

Defeating Materia Keeper
When fighting the Materia Keeper, he will most likely kill all of your other fighters first, leaving only Cloud. Cast Regen on Cloud and keep using Cures to heal him after the Materia Keeper uses his strong attacks such "Hell Combo" and "Trine". Cloud will fill his Limit Break bar. Use the Limit Breaks and keep repeating until the Materia Keeper has been defeated.
Defeating Reno
To defeat Reno and his bodyguard (the Turks) when you fight them for the first time, make sure that you heal all the time. Free your trapped comrades from his "Pyramid". Defeat his bodyguard first, then go after Reno.
Defeating Techno Soldier
When fighting Techno Soldier near the beginning of Disc 1, attack him in the back and use Bolt. This will easily deal over 1,000 HP of damage if timed correctly. It is best give either Tifa or Barret Bolt so that both can attack while using the back attack strategy.
Defeating the Midgar Zolom
Have Barret in your party with Fury on. The Midgar Zolom will give him a Limit Break in one hit. Have Barret on the bottom of your menu and all characters in the back row. Use the other characters to heal and use Barret's first Limit Break as Mindblow. This will zap the Zolom's magic, away rendering Beta useless. Also, if your characters have Sadness level 26, Zolom will only do 900 damage at maximum with Beta. Beta is also an Enemy Skill. Zap his energy, use Bio, and defeat him.
Defeating Ultimate Weapon
During Disc 3, find the Ultimate Weapon hovering over a lake. Defeat it and it will retreat as before. If you happen to find it hovering around the ocean, run in to it. This will make it find a new place to destroy. Defeat it each time you see it hovering over one place. The final battle with it will take place over Cosmo Canyon. After you defeat it there, it will crash to the ground. This will give you access to the Antiant Forest and Cloud's Ultimate Weapon.
Easy Battle Square handicaps
During the "slot machine" handicap sequence, rapidly tap Square in the Battle Square section at Gold Saucer. The slots will slow down, allowing an easier selection of your handicap. Note: This trick will also work in a similar manner with Cait Sith's limit break.
Easy Chocobo races
While racing a Chocobo, hold R1 + R2 to slowly restore energy.
Easy Deathblow
Manipulating your enemy makes for an easy deathblow.
Reduce damage from Ultima Beam
You can absorb damage from the Ultima Beam attack from Ultima Weapon by placing the Elemental Materia linked to a non-elemental Materia (such as Restore) on your armor. The level of the Elemental Material will determine how much damage is reduced.
Restore health and Limit Break meters
While playing the game, press R3.
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.
Stealing from Ultima Weapon
It will be useful if you have "Steal as Well" and "Comet" (Comet2) Materia linked together, and the "Steal Glove" accessory equipped. After defeating the Diamond Weapon who is approaching Midgar, wait until the entire storyline finishes so that you may control the Highwind Ship again. When you fly the ship, it is important that you not go to Midgar or you will have to do this trick on the Disc 3. Otherwise, you can wait later if you are not up stealing Ultima's items. Fly the ship where there is a circle-like waterfall behind Junon. Ultima Weapon is hovering over the waterfall. Engage in battle and use Comet2 on Ultima. You will steal a Circlet accessory which upgrades your Magic and Spirit by +30. You can only get it when Ultima is hovering in battle. When he is on ground, you can steal Reflect Ring accessories. If you are on the Highwind and encounter him when he is flying around, bump into him five times; he will fly, then stop and charge up a blue energy ball over the area he is at. Be careful that he does not stop over Midgar or you will have to finish collecting his items on the Disc 3. Note: When you encounter Ultima Weapon for the first time, you can steal a Cursed Ring accessory which raises increases your status but it also induces Death Sentence on yourself; it is best that you have "Added Effect" and "Destruct" Materia linked together if you plan on using it.
Strong Comet
If you have a high magic stat, a few Master Magic or Level 2/Mastered Comet Materia, Quadra Magic and W-Magic, link Comet2 to Quadra Magic, and have W-Magic. Link extra Comet2 to HP Absorb, MP Absorb (optional) and Added Cut. The result will be 40 hits for 9,999 damaged, which Mimed twice can even kill the Weapons.
Strong Omnislash
After battling 2000 times at intervals of 500 battles, if Cloud has a certain combo of weapon and HP he will insult the enemy and do Omnislash attack with each hit doing several thousand damage, regardless of defense.
Summon Matieria
Summon Matieria is used to summon a beast of legend to launch a massive attack against your foes. Combining Summon Matieria and Huge Matieria getsyou Master Summon Matieria, allowing use of any summon in the game. Summon Matieria can be found occasionally, but this guide tells you how many summon matieria exists in the game and where to get it.
