Dating Yuffie

Everyone likes Yuffie, the 14 year old ninja with spunk. Finally, you can do the ultimate (clean) fantasy - you can date Yuffie! But then half the fun of slaving through the guide is the fact that you can kick dirt in Aerith and Tifa's face, call them worthless, irresponsible and ugly, and they'll STILL like you in the end! So here we go: GENERAL TIPS FOR DATING YUFFIE Always try to have Red 13 and Barret in your party before getting Yuffie. After getting Yuffie, make sure she's always the second character, unless specified otherwise, (like when a character insists on joining you). The third character can be anybody but one of the girls (unless specified otherwise). - When you talk to allies, always talk to Yuffie first. - If you're in doubt when making choices, remember the object is of getting Tifa/Aerith's favour of you down (that is, be nasty to them), and getting Yuffie's favour of you up. - Finally, make sure the Cover materia is always equipped on Cloud when Yuffie's in your party, so that he can protect her. - Below is what choices you need to make to date Yuffie - don't be daunted by the number of instructions. And note that skipping out on a minor choice or two is fine, but watch for the major ones. Good luck dating Yuffie! 1. When you first meet Aerith after the bombing mission and she asks, 'What happened?', tell her, 'Nothing has. Listen..' 2. Then 'Nevermind.' 3. When she asks if Cloud would like a flower, say 'Forget it.' 4. Talk to Jessie in the train a few times, then choose 'I'll be waiting'. 5. In front of 7th Heaven, don't talk to Barret a second time. 6. When Tifa asks 'Did you fight with Barret?' say 'Not this time'. 7. Talk to Biggs.

When Barret asks about using materia, say 'Okay, I'll explain it.' 13. In Johnny's house, when you talk to his father a third time and he asks about Cloud's hometown, say 'Who cares!' not 'Nibelheim..' 14. When you're in the train to attack the second mako reactor, Jessie asks 'Do I look good in Shinra uniform?' say, 'Yeah..' 15. when falling from bridge, say to Tifa, 'I mightn't be able to make it,' not 'I don't think I can hold on.' 16.

In the Planetarium, put Yuffie and Cait Sith into the party. 74. When you're around the Cosmo Candle, talk in this order: Yuffie, Barret, Aerith, Tifa, Red. 75. In Gi clan's cave, make the party as Yuffie and Red. 76. At Nibelheim, make Vincent part of your party, and then talk to Sephiroth. 77. In the Rocket Town, when you get the Tiny Bronco, listen to Yuffie when she says, 'Lets go to the west (to Wutai).' 78. At Wutai, Yuffie takes your materia. At this time, although there'll be less members, do not replace Yuffie before she runs off. 79. After the battle with the Shinra Soldiers, choose your party between Vincent, Cait Sith, Cid, and Red. 80. At Wutai, when you've caught Yuffie, pull the left lever as she says. 81. Finish the Wutai events. 82. Try and beat the Pagoda. I managed to beat the four-face boss by using the ???? enemy skill, maxing her with HP Plus materia and keeping Yuffie just high enough so that she survives if he uses Beast Sword. 83. Then go to Gold Saucer, get the Keystone, and watch the date sequence begin! Congratulations! You should now date Yuffie! And remember, say SOMETHING! :) PS. You can actually 'date' Barret also. I haven't done this, but some people in Japan have. If you want to try this, I can't help you, except to perhaps do everything in this guide that hurts Tifa and Aerith and don't pick up Yuffie until the last possible minute.

Getting Vincent

To the left of the entrance (of the Mansion in Nibelheim) there's a note lying on the floor written by Professor Hojo. It says that a member of the Turks got too nosy so he had to lock him up in the basement of the mansion. And it will give you clues on how to find the combination to the save which stores the key. Here's the clues and what they really stand for Look for the lid of the box with the most oxygen (It's the treasure chest upstairs in the atrium. Read the back of the lid for the number 36) Behind the Ivory's short of tea and ray (It means the Piano keys are short of the notes Tei and Ray. Check the floor around the piano for the number 10) The creek in the floor near the chair on the second floor. Then to the left five steps, up nine steps, left two steps, and up six steps. (The creek in the floor is in the upstairs bedroom next to the chair, follow the steps to find the number 59) missing (It means the 4th clue is written in invisible ink, try looking on the sheet where the dial 4 clue should be to find the number 97)

The combination for the save is Right  36, Left 10, Right 59, and Right 97.   After the battle pick up the key in the safe before heading down to the basement library.   Before you go into the library you'll notice a door in the hallway. With the key you got from the safe you'll now be able to open it. Go to the center coffin to wake up Vincent. Tell him about Sephiroth and he'll go back to sleep in his coffin. Wake him up again and he'll give you his name and tell you about his past love with Lucrecia. Vincent will again go back to sleep. This time leave and head for the stairs where he'll stop you and join your party.

The Sleeping Man

Get so many wins by fighting battles. To see how many wins you have, get in the Highwind, and go to a cave southeast of Midgar that is surrounded by mountains and with ariver nearby. Inside the cave is a sleeping man who usuallyu tells you how many wins you have. The last two digits have to be the same for this trick to work and it needs to be 100 or more.(100, 111, 255, 733, etc.) When you have the correct number of victories, talk to the sleeping man. He'll toss and turn, then give you an item(Mythril). next, go to the house on the peninsula near the Golden Saucer(you should recognize it since it's full of weapons inside). Talk to the man inside, and when he gives you choice, pick the top option. You'll lose the Mythril, but now you have the choice of opening the long wooden chest by the bed to get a Gold Armlet, or examining the metal Lid on the upper floor at the end of the walkway to get Aeris's level 4 limit break. Note that the sleeping man may give you an Ice Ring or a Bolt Ring instead of giving you Mythril. Don't worry just get another set of wins with the last two numbers matching again.

With the Highwind or a Blue/Gold Chocobo fly to a cave that's just East of Junon. Inside you'll find a sleeping man who will mumble things like the Master Materia, how many times you escaped, how many battles you've fought.   The info on the number of battles is useful. Keep fighting until the last two digits are the same like 144 or 277. Then talk to the sleeping man and he'll give you a Bolt Ring or he might give you some Mythril which you can exchange to the Weapon Seller for Aeris' 4th Limit Break, Great Gospel.

Cloud becomes a girl - Wall Market

When cloud comes to Wall Market (after seeing Tifa in a carriage) in Midgar, he haft to change stile for a while. He's target is to come into the rich man Don Corneo's house to "save" Tifa from there. To do this he haft to look like a girl (Don likes girls very much). It's enough with a dress and a wig, but if you wanna be the number one girl and that way come into Don's house, you haft to do better then that. How you get to be the finest girl in town: The first thing to do is to go to the clothesstore. There the expeditor will tell you to go to the bar and talk to the store's owner. When you did that just go back. Wich dress you get depends on what you answer the expeditor. "Soft" and "shimmers" gives you "Silk Dress". This one is the most beutifull one. Now go the gym. Here it's time to show what you go for. Your thing to do is to win over the champion in the club in some exorcises. When that is done the owner will give you "Blond Wig". Next thing to do is to get to the restaurant and order whatever you want. When the cook ask you how it was you should answer, "It was allright". Then he gives Cloud a coupon that allow him to change it for three things in the drug store. Go to the drug store and get "Digestive". Now get back to the bar and go to the bathroom. She wll give you her "Sexy Cologne". The man outside Honey Bee Inn can't decide if he should go in or not, and finally he gives his ticket to you. Go inside. If you visit the room in top-left you will get "Underwear". If you visit the bottom-left you will get "bikini". Underwear is the best to choose but it's doesn't really madders wich you take. In the same place Cloud will also get som make-up. The man in the northen house of the lower part of Wall Market, tells Cloud to go to the Inn and get an item from the automaton. Go to sleep there, so you in the middle of the night can go up and buy a thing in it (for 200 gil). When you do that the owner will be so happy that he gives you "Diamond Tiara". If you do all this, you can be sure that Don Corneos will choose you as his favourite.

The Ancient Forest

The Ancient Forest is on a rock near Cosmo Canyon. You can reach it two ways. One with a Green Chocobo or defeating the Ultimate Weapon which will leave a crater Cloud will be able to climb to reach it.   The Ancient Forest is a tough puzzle to maneuver through but you can get some very good Items here. You can use insects and frogs for special purposes to put inside pitcher flowers. Area 1: (Items-Spring Gun Clip, Supershot ST) Near the Start you'll see three insects. Move them all near the pitcher flowers. Now take each one and put them in the pitcher flowers acting like a bridge (Don't waste time because you only have a short time before the pitcher flowers burst). To get the item that's in the fly trap approach it from the right side and just step on it barely enough to pick up the Supershot ST without getting trapped. Area 2: (Items-Slash-All Materia, Minerva Band)  Pick up the insect and jump to the high ledge. Put the insect (or a frog if he eats it) into the pitcher flower to reach the other side. Once across pick up a frog and put it in the pitcher flower. Stand on it until the frog pops out launching you to the high ledge on the left where you will pick up a beehive. Throw the beehive into the fly trap which will close it so you'll be able to grab the Slash-All Materia next to it. Now pick up the frog again and place it in the right pitcher flower and stand on it. This should throw Cloud to the next area. Area 3: (Items-Typoon Materia)  Pick up two insects and place them in the pitcher flowers so Cloud can use the springy stamen to reach the top balcony. Swing on the limbs all the way to the right to pick up the Typoon Materia. Go back all the way to the left and climb down the tree trunk to grab the Minerva Band in Area 2. When you return to Area 3 put a insect in the pitcher flower to reach the beehive. Put the beehive in the fly trap to close it and use an insect to get back to the left area. Grab another insect and put it in the hollow tree to make a frog appear. Take the Frog and put it in the furthest right pitcher. Stand on it and you'll be thrown in front of a cave with an Apocalypse and Elixir inside.

W-Item Trick

You can get this Materia when you head south after entering the Railroad tracks. It's main use it to let you use two items with one turn but you can also use it to fill up some items to 99 without paying any money. Extremely useful for Chocobo Greens to save you money along with Megaelixirs to help against bosses. Just give one item to the enemy but press cancel instead of giving them the 2nd which will raise your item count by 1. Just keep repeating until you fill it up to how much you want.
