Hey there, fellow Final Fantasy VII strategist! When it comes to materia management, I recommend mastering the All and Elemental materia early on. Allowing you to target all enemies with spells and link elemental effects to your attacks can give you a great advantage in battles.

For mission walkthroughs, be sure to explore every corner of each area to find hidden items and secrets. Don’t rush through – take your time to level up your characters and unlock their Limit Breaks.

When it comes to character development, focus on each character’s unique strengths. For example, make sure to equip Cloud with powerful physical attack materia, while giving Aerith or Red XIII more magic-oriented materia. This way, you can optimize each character’s abilities for different situations. Good luck on your journey through FFVII!
