>hero drinks increase all your stats, up to 100%>only winnable from Chocobo races>Dragon Force is the ONLY other way to increase this gauge and it only affects magic and physical defense >Many Enemy skills can only be accessed via manipulation>source stat items can be morphed from various enemies>the weapons from Gongaga village are spread over steals throughout the game, starting with the train graveyard onwards>multiple armors can be stolen in the game which are bought normally several areas ahead >several armors increase stats but won't tell you directly>eg. Gigas armor +30 strength, Ziedrich +20 strength/magic, Warrior bangle +20 strength, and Chocobracelet 30+ dex, 20+ luck>Precious watch has 0 Ap growth, but 8 slots, and 0 defense, making it one of the weakest and most useless armors in the game>You literally cannot battle all Fort Condor battles, as several take place during time skips in the story>Majority of players will not bother grinding Chocobo races to get Sneak Attack, Counter Attack, or Magic Counter, materia making them very rare >multiple enemy skills are better than most materia you have to level including: Magic Breath (77), Shadow Flare (125), >Throwable items are often some of the strongest and easiest attacks to get in the game, including Right arm, 8 inch canon, and Dragon Scales>many players had no idea they could use the buggy to go back to the mainland in FF7, meaning they missed out on a cave vital to get Aerith's ultimate limit break>almost all weapons increase magic stats but few noticed>every single item, armor, and weapon, in the game had a full 3D model created, and these can only be seen in images in the official strategy guide, or in a Japanese exclusive bonus encyclopedia CDHow did they cram so many secrets, so much detail, so much SOUL, into this game? It has endless amount of submechanics and i feel you can just ignore most of them. Attacks, phoenix downs, potions, and limit breaks can get you through the game.

>>4092427>Early Gold ArmletThere's only a tiny window of time when this is even relevant. You need to immediately book it back to the mainland after getting the buggy, then get the Mythril, then give it to the weapons maker but instead of the Great Gospel limit break, you go and grab the Gold Armlet. There's an extremely tiny window where this has any relevancy, since after Cosmo Canyon comes Nibelheim, and the mountains and you can steal a Gold Armlet from dragons, and then buy them from Rocket Town. So to get one armor piece early, you need to do a lot of very obtuse backtracking and doing a quest-line "wrong". You get more Mythril and can infinitely trade it, so you can grab the Great Gospel next.
