Final Fantasy VII is a console and computer role-playing game developed and published by Square Co. (now Square Enix) and the seventh installment in the Final Fantasy video game series. It was released in 1997 and is the first numbered Final Fantasy game for the Sony PlayStation video game console and Microsoft Windows-based personal computers; it is also the first to use 3D computer graphics featuring fully rendered characters on pre-rendered backgrounds. The game's story centers on a group of adventurers as they battle a powerful mega corporation called "Shinra", which is draining the life of the planet to use as an energy source. As the story progresses, conflicts escalate and the world's safety becomes a major concern.

Final Fantasy VII Special Battle
To get to the URA battle (special battle) in the Battle Arena, first gain 64000 battle points and buy the W-Summon materia. Next get 32,000 battle points and buy Cloud's level 4 limit, Omnislash. Equip Omnislash and talk to the lady at the counter in the battle arena and she will ask you if you want to participate in a special battle. Beat all 8 enemies and get the Final attack materia.

Note: You must have your Ultimate Weapon equipped to fight in the special battle.

Master Materia
To obtain "Master" materia, you have to master every materia in each category. After you do this, you should go to Bugenhagen's Laboratory and examine each "Huge" materia. This results in receiving all of the "Master" materias. Each "Huge" materia brings forth a different "Master" materia depending on which class it belongs to.
