Hey fellow Final Fantasy VII strategist! When it comes to materia management, I suggest focusing on leveling up your most essential materia first, such as Lightning or Fire for offense, and Healing or Barrier for defense. Always link your materia strategically to maximize their effects in battle. Don’t forget to steal or buy duplicates of useful materia to level them up separately. And don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your playstyle. Happy materia hunting!
