Ok so I just wanted to post another helpful thing to make ruby weapon so easy it'll make you laugh. I did this after emerald weapon so I had two mime's and a master command materia, and master summon materia. So pick any characters to be with cloud, give them their weapons that double ap, trust me you'll love it. Give each character a mime and cloud the master command and master summon. He'll also need a maxed hp and mp materia along with the other two characters. Connect the master summon with mp absorb, also place Knight of the round on cloud connected to hp absorb. With that combo you won't lose hp or mp the whole battle plus you'll be miming the whole time anyways. On the other two characters place whatever materia you want Lvl'd and you're set as long as they have mime. So this is how it should look.
Cloud
Weapon: Apocalypse

Master command -O
W-Item -O
W-Summon -O
Armor: Mystile

Master summon linked to MP absorb
Hp+ linked to mp+

Accessory: Sprint Shoes
Now onto the battle. Like everyone says come in with the other two characters dead. When the battle starts either the tentacle will attack or the ruby weapon. W-Item Phoenix down on the other two people. Make sure the person with the sprint shoes is revived first. As the other person is getting revived the person with the sprint shoes should finish and have him use a mega elixir. Have the other person guard so Cloud can go. Have him w-summon hades on the ruby weapon and then summon knights of the round on the tentacles. Hades with paralyze the ruby weapon and Knights of the Round should kill the tentacles. Have the other two mime, when it comes back to Cloud w-summon KOTR twice and mime with everyone from that point and it should be over after just a few turns. There you go you'll be happy with the result.

In some of the guides I see they say certain things that aren't true. They say you have to wait a certain time to get a few things or even have to get one thing to get another, read on and you'll get the elemental materia without having to get Tifa's secret stash, how to get Vincent's final limit and Death penalty on the second disk not third, and how to destroy every enemy you face with no problem in all three disks.
Tifa: you really don't have to get her secret stash to receive the elemental materia, that's false. I've done it so don't worry about that. Just go to the piano when they tell you both times with Cloud, then Tifa and you should be fine.
Death penalty and Chaos limit second disk: when I first got the sub I immediately went to the cave where you can get the cut scene with Vincent. I was going to wait till the third disk to go back but on my search for the Key of the Ancients I decided to look in the cave again with Vincent in my party and low and behold it was waiting for me.
Easy training 1st disk that lasts till the third: if you wanna have a strong character for both disks heading to the third follow this tip. On the first disk after the Golden Saucer go directly to Junon. Save at the inn and make sure you are around Lvl 22 (that's how low I was) head two screens over to the right until you're at the place where the shinra soldiers are Practicing. Go over and press O on the red box to activate an alarm. This gives you Lvl 35 and Lvl 37 monsters to train on. If you encounter the big machine by itself run it's a waste of time and potions for only 900 exp and 1400 Gil. What you want are the pink soldier like things that come in twos and threes. Two of them give 1400 exp and 3000 Gil, three give 2100 exp and 4500 Gil. This is amazing training for your Lvl. Make sure to have summons cause a the Lvl 22 it won't be enough. What I did was put most of the summons on cloud and waited till everyone was low on mp to leave. To do this strategy stay close to the door and you should be fine. I left around Lvl 41 and was happy with the result that no one in the first disk could kill me. Second disk requires more time for breeding a gold chocobo so you can get quadra magic and Knights of the round or kotr for those who abbreviate. Also getting mime, hp<->mp. These are key things you need except hp<->mp. I didn't really get the gold chocobo till after I got cloud back and before I got the Key to the Ancients so it's pretty critical to get the chocobo you need when you get the airship. It's not too bad just takes time and worth the effort.
I hope this helps any of you gamers out there. It's a great game so keep on playing.
Not many people know this but Sephiroth's health depends upon a few things. 1.His base HP is 80,000 2.For every character at level 99 his base HP is increased by 30,000 3.If knights of the round was cast upon Jenova Synthesis he recieves an extra 80,000 HP 4. Every time Bizzaro Sephiroth's head was killed his HP is REDUCED by 100 up to a total of 24,900 HP. His maximum HP can reach 400,000.
foThere is an easier way to recieve the beta enemy skill....the beta enemy skill is fire based so equip the fire ring to nullify fire attacks, aqualung is a water based attack so equip a ring that is resistant to water(if there is one ) trine is an electrical bsaed attack and magic breath is a materia based attack.
aqaulung-Harpy-golden saucer deserts(use buggy and find a fight)
Beta-midgar zolom-marshes
trine-materia keeper-mt.nibel
magic breath-materia keeper-icicle cave
this is a much simpler way to get it, simply equip a fire ring onto any character that has enemy skill and damage the snake in the marhses until it is nearly defaeated then just keep defending until you learn the skill and kill it! (the character may be thrown away by the giant snake)
hey a lot of people say you can use knights of the round with quadra magic but you can't. what you can do is use it with W summon which will cast knights of the round twice
this is an effective summon to be used early on, at the chocobo farm speak to the chocobo and answer back 'wark! wark!' and watch them dance for 15 ish seconds then you recieve a materia
Go close to the mideal area and somewhere around there is a cave with quadra magic off the edge is a cliff get as close to the edge as possible land and just before you touch the ground hold square and push forward toward the cave. Your rocket will be half way on the land and half way on the rocks go and collect your reward also chocobo tips for racing hold R1 and R2 to keep up stanima feed them sylkis greens they cost 5000 each but if you buy a few then use W-item glitch to get more. They boost all your stats emmensly I gave my chocobo 48 of them and he had 100 top speed and 850 stanima also for breeding you don't have to race them to class S only class A Hope these tips help

In the second disc you will have to get the huge materia in rocket town. When you go into the rocket after fighting Rude cid will start talking and he will say you can get the huge materia if you want. Go up the ladder and there it is, but there's a code to get it the 4 button code is circle , square ,X,X you don't have to get it but if you want the summon zero bahamut you will need it for when your returning to cosmo canyon
Now there may be a few of you who already know this, but here it is for those of you who don't, make sure you check everything every where you go and on every disk e.g. Some places require you to go some where on disk 2 then return on disk three so as you may have just worked out if you didn't go on disk 2 then you are most probably missing out on something realy rare and as the title to this sugests once in a saved game I hope everyone takes this into account and gets more out of there game by getting everything there is to get
This is just a guide where you will land after doing the snowbaording game.
You need to choose two times to turn left or right during the snowboarding game, heres where you will land on the Great Glacier (look at your Great Glacier Map):
Right, Right = Cave, bottom right side of map
Right, Left = Big Tree, middle part of map
Left, Right = Ice Gate, bottom of map
Left, Left = Crossroads in the forest just above the Ice Gate

Get 99 of basically every item you can think of, especially x-potions and antidotes, after that, get vincent to level 60, have him wearing the mime, and knights of the round materia, now enter the battle arena with him. Don't use K.O.t.R just yet, use it at about the 3-4 round, then use mime over and over, when you get to the 7th round, use his limit breaker(you should have gotten it during those battles) sometimes you'll break your command or summon materia, which sucks, but still use his limit breaker, you should survive, I did it about 15 times getting about 8k BP each time I went 8 rounds.
To defeat the last version of Seiphiroth (sorry about spelling) you do not need anything fancy. All you need is Cloud with his final weapon at level sixty or higher, Barret level sixty of higher, and Red XIII level sixty or higher. Load Cloud with a couple of HP plus, full cure, acouple of MP plus, and maybe one or two summons. Load Barret with most of the summons you want and some MP plus, and a few HP plus. And finally, load Red XIII with the rest of your healing/attacking materia and some HP plus and some MP plus. (If you can use two teams, you can do the same thing with your other characters.)These don't need to be followed exactly. You can have Barret with the healing/attacking materia and Red XIII with the summons. It doen't matter. All I'm really saying is you don't need KOTR to beat Seiphorith (again sorry).
Once you get the little bronco and it has crashed and you use it as a boat you can land on the ice continent(very top) near the bone village. Go into the forest and go forward. You will find him in the same place as if you were looking for him later. He is very helpful early in the game.

Vincent's Death Penatly deals damage determined by Vincent's kills multiplied by five. For example, if Vincent has killed 200 enemies throughout the course of the game, the damage dealt by his Death penalty will be 1000 HP, no matter who or what the enemy is, unless they use Barrier/Wall. A good way to boost Vincent's kill count is to give Vincent the Slash-All materia, and head to an area where you can encounter groups of five enemies, such as the Mythril Mines or the forest area outside of Junon.

I'm not sure if this would help any of you ffvii lovers but here:
It is actually possible to cross the swamp without bieng caught by the swamp snake, just run when it's going away from you towards the other corner, don't
Stop.
This is mainly for those people who can't seem to catch a chocobo with ease.
Sincerely yours truly 
On your 2nd assault on the Shinra when your going to defeat Hojo make sure you make a stop off to the Shinra HQ not only to get Cait Sith's wepon in the locker or the 2 wepons from the item boxes on the 2nd floor but if you enter through the many many many stairs keep climbing to collect the elixer if you didnt get it on your first time there at the begining of the game but on this time there is also another item to collect and if I remember rightly it's a behemoth(finks thats the spelling) horn for red XIII if it's not the horn thingy then it's a different wepon I can't remember what it's called but it's there I found it the other day lol

Wen you fight ruby weapon the best way to realli do it is kill two of you're characters off so there4 wen you go in2 battle with ruby it shud automatically put his claws strait in the ground and they will stay there
I figured this out today, and it's great. In the Northan Cave, equip a Morph Materia to any character and fight an Armoured Golem. Weaken it down and kill it with a Morph attack. You should get a Guard Source.
