The Story

I'll try not to ruin the story for anyone who hasn't beaten the game. It is a world similar to Earth where many things called Mako Reactors are built by an evil corporation known as the Shinra inc. Mako Reactors are like big factories that suck Mako out of the Planet. Mako is the life of the Planet. If the entire planet's Mako were to be sucked up, the Planet would eventually "die". People use the Mako to power cars, lights, TVs and such. Also when Mako is in it's natural form, it can be used as "materia." Materia allows humans to use "magic". Materia can allow humans to create fire and ice with their mind. If they are wounded, they can heal themselves back to full strength with a green light. Or they can even call forth beasts of incredible power to unleash on their enemies.
Yes, Mako does make life easier, but if all the Planet's Mako is drained, humans, birds, trees, everything even the Planet will eventually die out. Shinra is not only a power company, but also a military. Their most gifted troops are known as SOLDIER. There are three classes of Soldier. First class being best and third being worst. An extremely talented young man by the name of Sephiroth used to be in first class before he went "insane". Although he is rumored to be dead, it is said that a group named AVALANCHE is pursuing him.
Speaking of AVALANCHE, they're the last hope for the Planet. AVALANCHE is a rebel group that has discovered President Shinra's evil plan- to find "The Promised Land". The Promised Land is a land abundant with Mako that supposedly can only be found only by an ancient race known as the Ancients, or more correct, the Cetra. Shinra would let the Planet wither away just to fill his pockets with gil, (the currency in FF7). AVALANCHE is led by a man named Barret Wallace who has his own reasons for bringing down the evil corporation.

The Characters
Cloud Strife

Job: Mercenary (Ex-SOLDIER 1st class)
Age: 21
Birthdate: August 19, (same as me!)
Birthplace: Nibelheim
Height: 5'7"
Eyes: Mako
Weapon: Sword
Blood type: AB
Profile: Cloud used to be in SOLDIER, but he quit after seeing his best friend Zack killed by some Shinra soldiers. He then becomes a mercenary and joins a ragtag rebel group known as AVALANCHE. On his first mission he bombs one of the mako reactors of Shinra that he despises so greatly. With his powerful, and nearly unmatched sword technique, he is an asset to the group, and a force to be reckoned with. However, there is a part of him he doesn't understand. Whenever he is near Sephiroth, he sometimes starts acting like someone else, an evil Cloud. Others, he simply collapses on the spot. This "Evil Cloud" nearly seals the Planets fate by handing over an important item to Sephiroth called the "Black Materia" which holds the ultimate destruction magic, Meteor. Another time he nearly killed Aeris. You control Cloud mostly through the whole game for he is the main character after all.
Barret Wallace
Job: Leader of AVALANCHE
Age: 35
Birthdate: December 15
Birthplace: Corel
Height: 6'4"
Weapon: Gun arm
Blood type:O
Profile:Barret is the leader of AVALANCHE. He has hated the Shinra ever since they burnt down his hometown known as Corel, and killed all his family and friends. He got shot in the arm by a Shinra soldier, and got a gun grafted on instead of an artificial arm, so he could take revenge on Shinra someday. He prefers to use his gun-arm, but sometimes he attatches other things, (chainsaw, hook, drill, to name a few.) He hates the Shinra maybe the most of the group. Although in the beginning of the game, he is hesitant to let Cloud take over as leader, he later begins to question his own leadership traits.
Tifa Lockheart
Job: AVALANCHE member
Age:20
Birthdate: May 3
Birthplace: Nibelheim
Height:5'4"
Weapon: Fists
Blood type: B
Profile:Tifa grew up next door to Cloud, but never really knew him. When Cloud left to join SOLDIER as a kid, Tifa left a few years later. She opened up a bar in Midgar, (a city where AVALANCHE's hideout and the Shinra's headquarters are located). She soon met Barret and joined AVALANCHE, because her hometown was also burnt down by SOLDIER. She is also the one that recruited Cloud. Tifa prefers to use martial arts as her primary fighting skill. She had been studying martial arts ever since she was 15 or younger under the master known as Zangan. (Zangan seemingly disappeared after Sephiroth burnt down Nibelheim.) Tifa's mighty fist should be feared by all monsters everywhere.
Aeris Gainsborough

Job: Flower girl
Age: 22
Birthdate: February 7
Birthplace: unknown
Height: 5'3"
Weapon: Rod
Blood type: O
Profile: The last remaining Cetra. The Cetra, (also known as Ancients, but Cetra is more precise,) were a people of peace. They would travel around, settle the Planet, and move on. Then, at the end of their harsh journey, they would arrive at the Promised Land, a land of supreme happiness. Then, however, those who disliked the journey appeared. They sacrificed the Cetra, and only one remains today, Aeris. Aeris's mother, Ifalna married a man named Professor Gast, the greatest scientist on the Planet. When Aeris was born, Professor Gast was killed by the Shinra. Ifalna escaped to Midgar. Later Aeris became a Flower Girl in the slums, and met Cloud shortly after his first mission. She combats with a staff and has great healing powers. However she leaves the party for good at the end of the first disc.
Red XIII(Nanaki)

Job: Beast
Age: 48
Birthdate: unknown
Birthplace: Cosmo Canyon
Height: 3'9"
Weapon: Claws and fangs
Blood type: unknown
Profile: A fierce, talking beast with an intelligence that surpasses any human's. Like Aeris, he is the last surviving member of his race. Red XIII was raised in a place called Cosmo Canyon. Comso Canyon focuses around the study of Planet life. Red XIII's real name is Nanaki. Nanaki's grandfather Bugenhagen listens to the Planet's cries. A Planet "cries" right before it's about to die. Mako is actually known as Spirit Energy. Reactors suck up Mako, or Spirit Energy. If a planet's Spirit Energy were to be all used up, the planet would eventually blacken and die. Red XIII was captured by a scientist named Hojo. Hojo worked at Shinra taking over when Professor Gast died. Cloud busted Red XIII out of captivity and led him back home to Cosmo Canyon. Here, Red XIII decided to join Cloud and the others to help save the Planet. Red XIII is a strong fighter, and very fierce. He uses his claws and fangs to aid him in combat.
Yuffie Kisargi

Job:Materia hunter/thief
Age: 16
Birthdate: November 20
Birthplace: Wutai
Height: 5'2"
Weapon: Shuriken
Blood type:A
Profile: Descendant of Ninjas. Yuffie grew up in the town of Wutai. She is the daughter of the chief of the village, who is also the master of the five-story pagoda. When Cloud was just a little kid, Shinra and Wutai were at war. The once proud Wutai lost not only the war, but their will to fight altogether. In the end the mighty Wutai became a common resort town. Yuffie couldn't stand it. She left her hometown, and became a Materia Hunter, (or a thief that steals materia.) She figured if she just had a little more magic , she could take revenge on Shinra for making her hometown a pathetic little vacation spot. On her travels, she met Cloud and the others. She joined them, so she could steal their materia when they let their guard down. Although she's a bit untrustworthy, she's good with a shuriken, and is a long range fighter, so that helps. But Cloud and the others better watch out...
Cait Sith

Job: fortune teller
Age:unkown
Birthdate:unknown
Birthplace:unknown
Height: 3'2"
Weapon: Megaphone
Blood Type: unknown
Profile: Spy in disguise. Cait Sith is a fortune -telling cat whom Cloud meets at the Gold Saucer. Although he doesn't realize it, when Cloud just met he predicted one of the Main Character's deaths. Cloud discovers later he is actually a spy for Shinra. He's just a toy developed to be controlled by a certain member of Shinra... But in the end, he defected to join AVALANCHE. At first, Cloud would never let him join, but he had kidnapped Barret's daughter, Marlene and was holding her hostage. After that, Cait Sith became one of the most trusted and useful good guys. As a member of Shinra, he learned all kinds of info. He's famous for inventing dopey attacks, and his main weapon is, oddly enough, a megaphone!
Vincent Valentine

Job: none(former Turk, a special Shinra unit that does all the dirty work).
Age: 27(supposedly)
Birthdate: October 13
Birthplace: Unknown
Height: 6'
Weapon: Gun
Blood type: A
Profile: Vincent may look kind of frail at first glance, however deep inside his body lurks a fearsome power. Vincent was originally a Turk, but since then he has been paying for his sins in the basement of the Shinra Mansion, (a place in Nibelheim where Shinra members used to live.) He was to sleep forever having recurring nightmares of how he lost the girl he loved, Lucrecia. It happened before Cloud was born. The Turks and Professor Hojo, along with his assistant Lucrecia, were living in the Mansion. Long stoy short, Hojo stole Lucrecia's love from Vincent, and turned him into a being that turned into a monster whenever he got mad. This was his sin. He couldn't save Lucrecia. Let's just say Lucrecia is connected to Sephiroth in a few ways... Vincent WAS to sleep forever, that is until Cloud and the others came along. They awoke him from his sleep, and he was surprised to hear Cloud was going after Shinra and Sephiroth. Vincent joined them hoping to get revenge on Hojo. Vincent uses a gun,and his limit breaks turn him into monsters for the whole battle, however he's berserk and you can't control him... Vincent is a man shrouded in mystery that has the ability to transform into monsters.
Cid Highwind

Job:best pilot in the world
Age: 32
Birthdate: February 22
Birthplace: Unknown
Height: 5'8"
Weapon: Spear
Blood type:B
Profile: Cid was to be the first man in space. Back during the meaningless war with Wutai, Shinra was a weapons manufacturer and not a power company. Shinra told him space exploration was to be the next big thing. They developed a rocket that would take Cid into space, but during the launch, Cid's mechanic assistant, Shera, was still in the engine room checking the fuel tanks. Cid had to abort the launch so Shera didn't die. Cid never forgave Shera. He wanted to restart the mission, but Shinra wouldn't have it. Shinra discovered Mako energy made a bigger profit, and dropped the space project altogether. Cid's dream was just a financial number to them. Some years later, Cid heard the new president of Shinra, Rufus: Shinra's son, was coming to Rocket Town, (where the rocket still was standing.) When Rufus arrived, as it turned out, all he wanted was to borrow the Tiny Bronco, Cid's plane. Cid threw a fit. They took space away from him, and now they were trying to take the sky away, too. In the confusion, Cloud stole the plane. Cid jumped on in midflight. Cid became a permanent member of AVALANCHE after that. Cid is the most foul-mouthed of the group, and is a formidable opponent with his trusty spear.
The Limit Break List
Limit Breaks occur when a character becomes blinded with rage from being attacked too much in battle. This section lists each character's limit breaks, gives a detailed description of each, and tells how to obtain each one. (Note: When a character gains a new level of limit breaks, ((Level 1 to Level 2)), you must access the command "Limit Break" in the Menu and set the level to 2. Otherwise you will not be able to use any Level 2 limit breaks. Once you do this, you must change it back to Level 1 if you wish to use the Level 1 limit breaks again. I am not responsible for any dizziness caused by reading this message.)

Cloud
Level 1
Braver
Cloud lunges at the enemy, brings his sword behind his head while jumping, and brings it down in front of him in arc-like motion, whilst splitting the enemy in two.
Cross Slash
With four powerful slashes, Cloud mortally wounds the foe. If the attack doesn't kill it , the enemy will sometimes be paralyzed and unable to attack for a while.
Level 2
Blade Beam
Cloud swings his sword with enough force to create a small energy current that rushes towards the enemy. Upon impact, (if there is more than one enemy,) smaller power waves cut down the other foes doing less damage, but still being quite lethal.
Climhazzard
Rushing forward, Cloud rams his sword deep into the enemy's flesh, and leaps high into the air slicing the enemy from the bottom to top. This is better than Blade Beam if you are fighting a single enemy.
Level 3
Meteorain
Jumping and hovering high in the air, Cloud summons up several small Meteorites that rocket toward the enemy. If used against a single foe, this attack can do over 10,000 points of damage!
Finishing Touch
Cloud calls upon a powerful whirlwind that sucks the enemy up into the heavens. Weaker monsters will be obliterated. However, stronger monsters will fall back to the earth with a bone-crunching thud.
Level 4
Omnislash
Charging at the enemy, Cloud unleashes a fury of slashes, ending with a Braver-like slice. This can be the strongest attack in the game, depending on how strong Cloud is.

Barret
Level 1
Big Shot
Barret increases the power of his gun arm and unleashes a dazzling blast on the enemy.
Mind Blow
Exactly the same as Big Shot, but decreases MP instead of HP.
Level 2
Grenade Bomb
Shooting a powerful grenade out of his gun arm, Barret engulfs the entire group of foes in a small explosion.
Hammerblow
In this attack, Barret let's his fists do the talking. Charging towards an enemy, he pulls off a mighty punch that literally sends the enemy flying causing instant death. If it is a stronger enemy, the attack will have no effect at all, so beware.
Level 3
Satellite Beam
Barret calls upon his friends in the satellites that orbit the Planet, and has them shoot down a powerful beam of energy. Needless to say, it's highly deadly. Best used on a group of monsters.
Ungramax
Using tons of ammo, Barret reduces the enemy to dust with this extremely rapid fire onslaught of shells.
Level 4
Catastrophe
Leaping into the heavens, Barret frys the enemy with a super concentrated plasma Blast. Using it against a single enemy is not bad, but for the monsters to feel the full force, use against a group.

Tifa
Level 1
Beat Rush
Tifa pulls off a fast combo of punches and kicks.
Somersault
Tifa unleashes an effective backflip kick on the enemy.
Level 2
Tifa punishes a single foe with a low-to-the-ground spin kick combined with the water element.
Meteodrive
Tifa reveals her true ambition is to become a professional wrestler with this powerful backdrop.
Level 3
Dolphin Blow
Tifa summons a dolphin to dish out a bone-breaking uppercut on the enemy.
Meteorstrike
Seizing the opponent, Tifa leaps into the air, and slams her enemy down with the force of a meteorite.
Level 4
Final Heaven
Focusing immense power into a single blow, Tifa unleashes a punch so deadly, it contains the force of a nuclear explosion.

Aeris
Level 1
Healing Wind
Aeris replineshes some lost HP with a heavenly breeze.
Seal Evil
Using a mystical spell of forgotten lore, Aeris paralyzes and makes it so the enemy can't cast magic.
Level 2
Breath of the Earth
Beams of light cure the party of any abnormal status.
Fury Brand
This attack has no real effect, but it does fill the other party members' limit break gauge to full. Very useful for long boss fights.
Level 3
Planet Protector
Forming a protective barrier around the party, Aeris makes them temporarily invulnerable to any attack.
Pulse of Life
Uttering a quiet word of prayer, she restores her party's HP and MP to full.
Level 4
Great Gospel
Summoning a heavenly host of angels, Aeris restores the party's HP, MP, and makes them temporarily invulnerable. Arguably the best limit break in the game.

Red XIII
Level 1
Sled Fang
Red XIII charges down an enemy with a speed so fast, it's hardly believable.
Lunatic High
A glowing light engulfs the party causing their speed to increase. Same effect as the materia combination: Time/All.
Level 2
Blood Fang
Same effect as Sled Fang, except stronger. Also absorbs a small amount of HP and MP for Red XIII.
Stardust Ray
Red XIII's howl summons a cluster of falling stars that collide with the enemies.
Level 3
Howling Moon
A full Moon appears causing Red XIII to go into a mad rage that casts Haste and Berserk on him. Although you won't be able to control him, his power and speed increase, so it's pretty much a double-edged sword.
Earth Rave
Red XIII attacks the foes with a series of five blows, each with their own elemental attribute.
Level 4
Cosmo Memory
A huge fireball appears, and explodes, engulfing the enemy in a tidal wave of super-heated plasma.

Yuffie
Level 1
Greased Lightning
Yuffie delivers a punishing blow with the speed of a lightning bolt.
Clear Tranquil
A blue orb surrounds each party member and replineshes some HP. Similar to Healing Wind, but more effective.
Level 2
Landscaper
A large tremor awakens and the ground beneath the opponents rises and explodes dealing lethal damage to all enemies. Not as effective if used against a single enemy.
Blood Fest
Yuffie darts around the battlefield dishing out a series of 10 deadly blows. Best used against small groups or single enemies.
Level 3
Gauntlet
Yuffie summons up a large blue vortex beneath her foes causing major damage to large groups.
Doom of the Living
The same as Blood Fest, but it's stronger and even better against single enemies.
Level 4
All Creation
A huge beam of light appers and blasts the enemy to smithereens.

Cait Sith
Level 1
Dice
Cait Sith throws some dice on the ground and the resulting number determines the amount of damage. The higher the number= the higher the damage.
Level 2
Slots
Cait Sith plays his own slot machine for different effects. They could include: Curing the party's HP, MP, and lifting status problems, toy soldiers appearing and attacking the enemy, random Summon spell, Giant Cait Sith with boosted power etc., Perfect attack percentage for all party members (not possible for any physical hits to miss), entire party defeated; game over, or instant victory.

Vincent
Level 1
Galian Beast
Vincent transforms into a purple beast who has the attacks: Beast Flare: Galian Beast launches several fireballs that explode and engulf the enemies in flames. And Berserk Dance: Galian Beast unleashes a quick combo on the enemy.
Level 2
Death Gigas
Vincent transforms into a powerful Frankenstein-like creature. Death Gigas's attacks are: Gigadunk: Death Gigas hits an enemy with a powerful punch. And Livewire: Death Gigas discharges an immensly powerful electric attack on a group of monsters.
Level 3
Hellmasker
Vincent transforms into a chainsaw maniac. Hellmasker's attacks include: Splattercombo: Hellmasker slices and dices up his opponent with five deadly thrusts. And Nightmare: An enemy is hit with many status effects reducing them to a tiny confused frog that is asleep and can't cast magic.
Level 4
Chaos
Vincent transforms into a huge winged creature. Chaos's attacks are as follows: Chaos Saber: Chaos attacks each enemy once. And Stan Slam: Chaos summons up a large skull under the opponents, and any that are not instantly killed, are engulfed in several flaming skulls.

Cid
Level 1
Boost Jump
Cid leaps high in the air, hovers a moment, and comes hurtling down, thrusting his spear into the enemy's body.
Dynamite
Cid lights a stick of dynamite with his cigarette and throws it into a group of enemies. Needless to say, the explosion causes severe damage.
Level 2
Hyper Jump
The Boost Jump, but instead of an enemy, Cid drives his spear into the ground which results in a small blue explosion damaging all enemies.
Dragon
A dragon appears and attacks the enemy absorbing HP and MP. The dragon then transfers the HP and MP into Cid. Use Hyper Jump unless you need an MP boost, for the HP boost isn't very significant.
Level 3
Dragon Dive
The same as Boost Jump, except he does it repeatedly on a group of enemies, and each time there is a blue explosion.
Big Brawl
Leaping into a group of enemies, Cid performs a series of blazing fast attacks.
Level 4
Highwind
Cid calls the Highwind to the battlefield, and the huge airships dumps large amounts of ammunition and missiles into the enemies.

How to Obtain each Limit Break
In most cases, each limit break is learned the same way for each character. Every character starts with their first limit break. For most characters, the second limit break is learned by using the first limit break 7 times. To learn the third, the character must defeat 75 enemies. To learn the fourth, the character must, again, use the third seven times. For the fifth, the character must defeat an additional 150 enemies. For the sixth, the character must use the fifth seven times. However, this is different for Cait Sith and Vincent. For Cait Sith to learn Slots, he must simply defeat 150 enemies. For Vincent to learn Death Gigas, he must kill 75 enemies. For Vincent to learn Hellmasker, he must kill an additional 150 enemies.

Level 4 Limit Breaks
Each character has their own ultimate limit break (duh). To learn a level 4 limit break, the character must first learn all the other limit breaks they can. Then they must use a certain item on themselves. Each item is named after the limit break and is, of course, hard to come by. Here is a list of how to obtain each item:
Omnislash: In the Battle Arena in the Gold Saucer, you must earn 32,000 BP. Once you've done this, buy it from one of the monitors.
Catastrophe: Revisit North Corel once Meteor has been summoned and talk to the lady in the middle house on the west side of town.
Final Heaven: Take Tifa to Nibelheim, and play her piano. Choose the option: I remember. Now enter these notes in: X, box, triangle, R1/L1+triangle, R1/L1+box, X, box, triangle, R1/L1+X, circle, X, box, X.
Great Gospel: Talk to the old man on the other side of the river (must have the buggy,) near Junon once the last two digits of the number of battles you've fought is the same. He'll give you a piece of Mythril. Take the Mythril to a Weapon seller near the Gold Saucer and you'll get Great Gospel in exchange. it's in the small box.
Cosmo Memory: Defeat Lost Number in the safe on the second floor of the Shinra Mansion by following the clues to find the combination.
All Creation: Defeat the boss in the fifth floor of the Five Story Pagoda in Wutai.
Chaos: Once you have the Submarine, find a tunnel underwater that takes you to a lake with a wterfall. Go behind the waterfall and you will enter Lucrecia's Cave (must have Vincent in party!) You will learn a bit about Vincent's past. Revisit in Disc 3, and you will receive Chaos, and Vincent's ultimate weapon: Death Penalty.
Highwind:After getting the submarine, find the downed Shinra plane underwater. Look inside a chest in the Cargo Room.
