Hey fellow Final Fantasy VII strategist! When it comes to materia management, I suggest focusing on mastering your most important materia first, like HP Up, MP Up, and Elemental. Don’t forget to link materia for added effects, such as pairing Elemental with a defensive spell like Barrier.

For mission walkthroughs, make sure to explore every corner to find hidden items and equipment. Utilize steal and morph abilities in battles to get rare items. And always save before tough boss fights to try out different strategies.

When it comes to character development, try to balance out your party with different strengths. For example, Cloud is a great physical attacker, while Aerith excels in magic. Experiment with different materia combinations to find what works best for each character.

Above all, enjoy the journey through Midgar and beyond! May your Buster Sword stay sharp and your magic powerful. Good luck!
