permanent Endure and Regen to Zack for as long as the gear is equipped.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Unlockable: Genji Shield

Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Avoiding Mission Battles
Most battles in
missions can actually be avoided, if you know what to do. Simply hug walls
while you're running through areas and battles should be easily avoided. This
trick will always work in round-shaped rooms, though it has less of a
chance of working in other situations.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Find the Cursed Ring
At the very
beginning of the game, after you fight Behemoth, you will be quickly brought to
the second chapter. You'll have a scene with a character named Kunsel, who will
brief you about all sorts of important stuff. He'll then tell you to check out
the nearby supply pod, where you'll find a Bronze Bangle. However, if you check
the pod again, and again, and again (twenty more times, in fact), you will find
an item called the Cursed Ring.
The Cursed Ring is
a statistical powerhouse, raising your HP, MP and SP by 10%, as well as
increasing all stats by ten points. However, you can't use limit breaks, you
can't level up, and you can't access the DWMs during battle, meaning it's both
a blessing and a curse!
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Mission Difficulty
There are hundreds
of optional missions in the game, and each and every one of them are worth your
time. You'll get lots of special items, gear and materia for completing them,
not to mention Gil and "experience" that will go towards leveling up.
However, you may notice that there are difficulty levels affixed to each
mission. Keep in mind that these fluctuate depending on your level, so if a
mission is listed as "very hard" and you don't want to undertake it
at the present time, it will become "hard" and then "normal"
(and so on) as the difficulty level adjusts to your ever-raising level. This
ultimately makes every mission in the game manageable at one point or another.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: 9,999 HP
If you want 9,999
HP, try the following. Fuse together two fully-leveled HP Up materias together,
and fuse into the materia twenty-five Elixirs (you have to have the
item-materia fusion skill to do this). The end result will be an HP Up+ materia
with +360% HP (or around there). Elixirs are fairly rare items, but you can get
the Elixirs you need by doing missions.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: SP Conversion
If you're in need
of SP, here's a good way to convert your materia to massive amounts of it. Take
any status-raising materia (such as HP Up), and fuse it with a Chocobo Feather
or another item that will raise the materia's attributes. Have the attribute
added high (which shouldn't take too much SP), keeping in mind that the
better-leveled the materia, the better this will work. Once you get the
materia, convert it into SP.
By converting a
materia like SP++ (30+) fully mastered, I got 150,000 SP. The rarer the materia
converted, the more SP you will get from it.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Missiles in Banora
Early in the game,
you'll reach a town called Banora. Near the end of the mission there, you'll
encounter a weird little minigame where missiles will be shot towards you and
you'll have to cut them down out of midair. This seems like a useless exercise,
but in fact how many missiles you manage to halt will give you more time when
you have to get back to Angeal's mom's house. What's more, you'll get items and
other rewards for cutting the missiles down. If you use the added time to scour
the town for more items and grab them all, you'll get an additional substantial
reward, including an Ether, a Soma, an X-Potion, an Elixir and a Phoenix Down.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Following Aerith
There comes a time
in the game where you need to follow Aerith around Midgar. If you're getting
lost or are just feeling lazy, you can stand in front of her and she'll
literally push you to where you need to go. Just be sure to steady
yourself in front of her so that she doesn't walk past you.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Fast Materia Mastering
After leveling-up
to a fairly high level (around the time you get the DMW called Lucky Stars),
you’re in a good position to master your equipped Materia rather easily. Head
to the game’s very first mission, which should be extremely easy for you to
complete by this point. Because of the parameter breaks, dying there is
unlikely. You can master your equipped Materia rather easily by hitting this
mission up over and over again.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Shinra Manor Combo
At a certain point
in the game, you will arrive with a very ill Cloud at Shinra Manor and will
have to find new clothes for him. There are four rooms in the manor that you
will find are locked as you explore, and if you look through the keyholes of
the locked doors, you will see certain items that when counted will give you a
combination to a safe which holds Vital Slash Materia. Here’s how to find the
digits (From the Editor: this submitter gave us a combination, but in fact the
combination is randomly generated on each game, hence you’ll have to find it on
your own by doing the following).
First Digit -
Knowledge Overflowing (In the room nearest Cloud, you will find a room full of
bookshelves. Count the books on the shelves for this number.)
Second Digit -
Unfamiliar Faces (In a room on the first floor you will find eerie apparitions
floating in a room. Count them for this digit.)
Third Digit - Tasty
Reminders From Home (The second locked room on the second floor will hold
dumbapples and cans of juice. Count them.)
Fourth Digit - On
All Four Legs (The other locked room on the first floor holds a bunch of
chairs. Count them up for the final number.)
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Rifle Fun in Nibel Plains
There comes a point
late in the game where you’re inserted into the Nibel Plains and are given a
rifle to take out enemies from afar. There’s a level-up system on the rifle
that’s explained before you kill the first enemy. While it seems that you can’t
possibly level up the rifle entirely before you reach the conclusion of Nibel
Plains, you can actually backtrack at certain points to make enemies respawn.
By doing so, you can accumulate seemingly-endless amounts of experience to be
used on your rifle.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Conversation With Hojo
When you reach the
Fusion Chamber and have a conversation with Hojo, he will ask you a series of
questions. While there is no wrong answer to any question, the amount of
SP you come out of the conversation with will actually depend on which answer
you provide him. Below are the three questions he will ask you along with the
SP point value of each possible answer.
When asked Which
do you admire more?, answer Sephiroth for 300 SP or Angeal for 100 SP.
When asked What
do you think Shinra needs most right now?, answer more SOLDIER operatives
for 200 SP or more science and technology for 400 SP.
When asked Which
do you believe to be more befitting a SOLDIER member?, answer a person who
gives it all for 200 SP, or a person unafraid to challenge Shinra for 300 SP.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Magic Pot DMW
When you encounter
the rare and hard-to-find Magic Pots in the game, you’re going to have to be
well-prepared to fight them. That’s because you need to attack them in a
certain order with certain attack types, but the payout is worth it, because
you’ll net a Magic Pot DMW. An easy way to acquire this DMW is to head to Mission 10-2-3 (Master Tonberry) and find the Magic Pot there. Then,
attack it in this order, and the DMW is yours: Fira, Gravity, Jump, Assault
Twister.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Hint: Money Farming
A great way to get
as much money as you want is by attempting the following. Once you acquire the
spell called Quake, head to the Master Tonberry quest. Use Quake in every
battle, which should deal the maximum 9,999 HP of damage while using 58 MP. An
Ether costs 200 Gil, but a dead Tonberry is worth 500 Gil. You should therefore
make a profit of 700-1,200 HP per battle. Repeat this process as much as you
can to theoretically make as much money as you want.
Additionally, you
can just kill the Tonberries on mission 10-2-3 and not have to use any MP, therefore
saving any spent money. They only have 8,000-10,000 HP, and are easy to kill
without Quake by the time you acquire that spell.
Crisis
Core: Final Fantasy VII Easter Egg: Sephiroth Foreshadowing
When you get to the
part of the game where you have to assemble Aerith’s flower cart, you should
instead head back to the SOLDIER building and go to Lazard’s office. Walk up to
his desk, flip the camera around, and look at his computer screen. You’ll see a
picture of Sephiroth there, foreshadowing events to come.
