Hey fellow Final Fantasy VII strategist! When it comes to materia management, I recommend focusing on leveling up your magic and support materias early on to unlock powerful spells and abilities. Don’t forget to link materias for combo effects like All + Elemental for added elemental damage protection.

For mission walkthroughs, always make sure to explore every corner of a location to find hidden items and secrets. And keep an eye out for optional side quests to level up your characters and earn extra rewards.

When it comes to character development, consider each character’s strengths and weaknesses to allocate the right materias and equipment. For example, give magic-heavy materias to Aerith and physical attack materias to Cloud. And don’t forget to switch up your party members to level them all up evenly. Happy gaming!
