How to play
Final Fantasy VII is a role-playing game where you control Cloud Strife and his party through a mix of exploration, turn-based combat, and narrative progression. Your primary objective is to follow the story while battling enemies using the Active Time Battle system, where characters' turns fill up over time. In combat, you select commands like Attack, Magic, or Item from a menu. A key strategic element is the Materia system, which allows you to equip orbs that grant spells, summons, and stat bonuses, with different combinations creating powerful synergies. Early on, focus on building a balanced party and experimenting with Materia to understand elemental strengths and weaknesses. As you progress, managing your Limit Breaks—powerful special attacks that charge as you take damage—becomes crucial in tough boss fights. Exploration involves navigating the world map, towns, and dungeons, talking to NPCs for clues, and solving environmental puzzles. During tense moments, prioritize healing and using defensive buffs to survive enemy assaults while waiting for your strongest abilities to become available.
