FFVII Cheats
Easy Chocobo Races:
Hold R1 and R2 while racing a Chocobo - this will slowly restore your energy bar.
Duplicate items:
NB This will only duplicate items that are selectable during a battle and can not be used to duplicate the various Sources,Materia, Weapons or Armour.
This trick requires the W-item Materia which is obtained after your party parachutes back into Midgar while playing Disc 3. After entering the subway tunnels in Sector 8, go towards the screen and you'll soon come to a dead-end with the W-item Materia.Equip the Materia on the character with the item you wish to duplicated. When a battle begins, select the W-item entry on the battle menu then select an unimportant item and use it on any character. On the second item choice, select the item to be duplicated by pressing circle then pressing X to cancel your selection and increase the number of that item in your inventory.Repeatedly press Circle followed by X to continually duplicatethat item.
Easy Battle Square handicaps:
Rapidly press Square during the 'slot machine' handicap sequence in the Battle Square section at Gold Saucer. This will slow theslots down, allowing you to choose an easier handicap. this trick will also work during Cait Sith's Limit Breaks.
Tetra Elementals
Due south of Cosmo Canyon, there is a small island composed of mostly
sand. The only creatures on this island are small Cactus men. Equip the
Morph materia on someone in your party and put a Manipulate materia on a
different person. When you enter battle, manipulate the Cactus man and
make him do 1000 Needles to himself 5 times. He has 6000 life, so this
will bring him down to 1000. Have someone with a very high hit % bring
him down to a fairly low HP level. Then use Morph. If successfully
morphed, the Cactus man will turn into a Tetra Elemental. This is one of
the most useful items in the game. Repeat for multiple Tetra Elementals.

Escape the Northern Cave
I have a cheat that is quite simple. In the third disc when you have to fight Sepherioth, I know how to get out! It is very simple, go to where you started at, then go out the door you came from, then limb up the ridge by pressing O, (if you press select it won't have the green arrow)all you have to do is climb up the ridge by pressing O, then you can go back on the Highwind and leave.

Unorthodox Party HP Cure
Start by putting your battle mode on active. Next, Cast Regnen on your party and one other spell. After your character casts Regen, open the Playstation door. You must open the door before the next spell is cast! When the game attempts to load the next spell, the game will just hang there-but time will continue to elapse! Sit back and watch your HP climb! When they reach normal shut the Playstation door! The music will slow down for a second, then the game will catch up and everything should go back to normal!

Easy Level Gain (FIRST DISC ONLY!!!!!!)
Warning: This code only works in the Temple of the Ancients on the first disc immeadiately after you beat the red dragon and gain the "Bahamut" materia.
After you beat the red dragon, leave the room where you encountered Sephitroth (the room with all the pictures on the wall and the thing labeled "Black Materia" that shakes the whole place) and talk to the Ancient Spirit body and selcet "rest" from the menu. After this, talk to it again and select "save", you will need to do this often. After you rest and save, be sure you have the "Bahamut" materia equipped with one of your characters then re-enter the room where you fought the red dragon. Run around for a little bit until you get into a fight. You will either encounter 2 flying dragon thingies, 3 flying dragon thingies, 1 wierd looking bull-dog/dragon/horse, or a wierd looking bulldog/dragon/horse on either side of you. Now comes the easy part, cast the "Summon Bahamut" spell and then attack with normal attack to finish off any survivors. EVERY CREATURE YOU ENCOUNTER IN THE ROOM IS WEAK AGAINST BAHAMUT! It is very easy to gain levels since each fight gives you around 2000 experience points. After you fight in the room a couple of times, exit it and talk to the Spirit body then rest and save and reenter the room. Repeat this method untill satisfied.

Slow chocobo's
Having the same problem as me with super fast chocobo's having to wait hour's before the others finish, well hold down+x to slow down the chocobo's and when you press 0 you will still hit your maximum speed.

Getting More Sources
If anyone that want to build up your guys but have already reached level 99, you can always go down to the crashed plane and morph the monsters there. There are six of them: Unknown, Unknown 2, Unknown 3, Serpent, Poodler, and Bad Rap. Each gives you one of the six type of Source.

Secerts of the Weapons
On disk 3, you may go down but come back up. Fly toward the "Junon Harbar." You will then see the "Ultimate Weapon!" Fly right in to him you will start to fight! The best way to beat him is to you "Omnislash" or "Knights of the Round." Doing this will kill him fast because he will retreat after so much damage done to him. Then he will fly away try to follw him. Hitting him with the ship several times will make him stop. Them fly into him to start to fight again. The last place he will stop is "Cosmo Canyan." Make sure that one of your people, that does the final blow, has on him or her "Enemy Skill" equiped to learn "Shadow Flare." Then head to your sub. go to the sunkin plane to save and to get some LUCK. Go it to the next room and there you will fight squid like creaters. Morph them to "Luck and Speed Sources." You need just one of then to be your fastest and luckest**(LUCK AT 255)**. That character must be equiped with "Life 2"(revive)all. Now save and go fight "Emeral Weapon!!" A real helper is to have the "Underwater" materia and to have at least one person with "All Lucky 7's"(that is when their HP is at 7777) and to have "99 Megalixers!" (His HP is about 600,000!!!) Always have haste and barriers up and use all you got. **DON'T USE ANY ELEMENTAL ATTACKS!!** After killing him you will recive an item. Take it to the "Calm Travaler" and he will give you 3 peices of "Mastered Materia"! Now equip them and save be as prepared as you fight "Emeral Weapon!!" Now go to "Gold Scuacer", you will see a little red thing. Oh and kill two of your members before you fight so that "Ruby Weapon" will put it's hands in the ground. If you don't you can't hurt him!! Now revive the others. Don't attack the claws behind you! Put Barriers up(always have them up!)and Haste. Then use "Knights of the Round" and then have one person use a "Megalixer". Keep doing this until he is dead. After he is killed take the item to the "Kalm Travaler." **DON'T USE ANY ELEMENTAL ATTACKS!!** **THESE ARE THE PERFECT TIME TO MASTER UP ANY METERIA!**
