Hint: Go to the battle arena and speak to the guy at the bottom of the stairs. Now go fight in the battle arena, if you win all 8 fights go back down and talk to him again. He will give you a rare item called the sprint boats. If you equip you character with this you be put into haste. I have also maxed all my characters levels out and have mastered so much materia that I had to trash alot of it, in order to make room. Also go back to Bone Village and ask for normal treasure. Dig to the left of the tent. It may take a trys but you will eventually get the key to sector 5. About all you can do is to go back to Wall Market and go to the item hut. It will give you tifa's ultimate weapon. Submission: Jeff Jett (jjjett@worldnet.att.net) Double Items: I have a code to double any item that is in your character's right or left hand. To have the item equipped and get into a battle and when that selected character comes up. Go into the item menum then highlight any blank space and press 0 and then highlight the item you want to double that is in your character's right or left hand and press 0. Then parry your character (to parry press right at the menu for your character and press 0) now defeat those enemies. Now go into the item menu and equip it now un-equip it now equip it again now un-equip it now equip it again. By now, you should have that item equipped and 1 of that item in your item box. You can do this trick as many times as you like. You can sell the item for extra gold dart it at an enemy , or equip it on another character. Submission: Nick Perkel Hints: Also, I discovered that in the hard version and this version most of the character's have 1 or two more techniques to do in battle. Well, this game has 5 commands for Tellah the extra one is a random spell ( you can only do this before Tellah regains all the knowledge of spells that he forgot. Edward ( Gilbert in Japan) has 5 commands too. This one helps cure some of your party's Hp. dark knight Cecil has 3 commands. This one is where cecil picks up his sword and shoots out a wave of energy at the enemies. When you do that cecil loses 10 percent of his Hp. Rosa has 5 commands. The extra one is a command that helps cure some of your party's HP. FusoYa also has 5 techniques. I think it is a random spell or heals some of your party's HP. Palom'sis where she cures part of your party's HP, and Porom's extra techniques is a random spell. Yang has 5 techniques, one is where you choose an enemy to attack very hard. This move takes several rounds before he does it . If you have trouble fighting a boss or don't know what to do. Email me and I will help you answer it. Submission: Nick Perkel
