Glitches

Glitch: Gold Saucer FMV:
When flying to Gold Saucer for the first time, the propellers are facing the front, in the direction that it moves. In the FMV sequence, they are on the back, propelling it.

Glitch: Gold Saucer Battle Square entrance:
When you go to the Gold Saucer, go to the Battle Square. Choose to enter the Battle Square with Cloud. Make sure you have a different weapon, such as the Ultima weapon, equipped and enter. When you see Cloud running in, he has his original Buster Sword equipped. However, when you start battling, you see him with the sword you equipped before entering.

Glitch: Unfinished cave:
There is a hidden cave on the pathway to the Ancient Capital. This cave can be found right after the two screens of the Sleeping Forest. Move to the right of the screen where the log bridge is located. You will notice a vine hanging from a cliff. A large opening, which is most likely a cave, can be seen hidden within the shadows of the cliff . There is a small detour that leads to the vine, but you cannot climb it. It has been theorized that this "cave" is a glitch and was probably the remnant of a side-quest in the game that was taken out.

Glitch: Dead end:
When on Disc 1 at the part were you must go to the Sleeping Forest in Bone Village, go to Yuffie's home town instead. You will not be able to do anything and have to start again.

Glitch: Missing part of the world:
During Disc 3, while riding a Chocobo or flying the Highwind on the world map, a part of the world will be cut off. You must go to another location immediately. If you remain at the cut off place too long, the screen will freeze and turn black with a small, gray box and a flashing question mark inside. If you wait, the game may recover, but it sometimes does not. Note: The cut off part of the world map will be black.

Glitch Changing sword name:
When you are at the Gold Saucer the second time after Wutai, make sure you have the "Yoshiyuki" weapon for Cloud. Go to the Battle Arena and choose Cloud to enter. When he is running to the center of the arena, he will have a "Buster Sword" instead of the "Yoshiyuki". However, in the battle he has the "Yoshiyuki".

Glitch: Aeris' Limit Break:
When you get the Highwind, you can get Mythril from the sleeping man. You can give the Mythril to the weapon seller and he will let you open one of his boxes (the one at the end of the upstairs hallway or the on in the corner). If you choose the small one, you will get Aeris' Great Gospel Limit Break. However, if you have the Highwind, then Aeris is no longer with you.

Glitch: Aeris' ribbon:
In the FMV sequence where Aeris has her final scene, her hair ribbon and the White Materia will come off her. After the FMV sequence, Cloud runs up and catches her. She will have the ribbon in her hair.

Glitch: Barret's Atomic Scissors:
When you equip Barret with the atomic scissors. It comes up on his left arm but he has his right arm shot off.

Glitch: Cloud walking on house:
Go on the hill between Icicle and the Great Glacier and walk to town. Cloud will walk on top of one of the house graphics if you walk into it.

Glitch: Disappearing Barret and Tifa:
When you are at the Shinra building, you must climb up a large number stairs on the side of the building to reach the 59th floor. When you are on the fifth or sixth flight of stairs, you will see Barret's and Tifa's speech bubbles with comments to each other as they (supposedly) run up the stairs wheezing and puffing. You will see Cloud at the beginning of the flight of stairs, but Barret and Tifa are not running up them. However, unlike the other flights of stairs, they are already at the top of them.

Glitch: Freeze at Honey Bee:
When you are dressed as a woman in the sector Don Corneo lives in, go in front of the Honey Bee. When all the men move towards you, the fat man in the red vest will be the last one to block you off from the Honey Bee. Before he blocks you off, quickly close all dialogue boxes and run around him. A box that says "Hey, Cloud" will appear and the game will freeze.

Glitch: Walk through people:
In Mideel, you can walk through most of the people in the town including Tifa and the nurse in the clinic. This also works in several other towns.

Glitch: Submarine through Emerald Weapon:
Take the sub to the bottom of the ocean. You now have to make Emerald Weapon fly over you, which is not easy. One trick is to wait in the bottom of the crater in the middle of the ocean. When Emerald Weapon swims over, quickly press X to go back to the surface. You will run into Emerald Weapon. The battle music will start and you will encounter a black screen then mysteriously be on the surface.

Glitch: Characters move after being hit:
Go to a place where you can fight a Crown Lance (Flying Jellyfish). Wait until it does the attack Deadly Needles. Run away when a character becomes petrified. When you run, the petrified character will turn around and be in a running position but not move.

Glitch: Gargoyles in North Crater:
Use an attack on the gargoyles in the North Crater and make sure it hits both of them at the same time. Use Flash immediately after the attack. They will turn green as usual and the death sound will play, but they are still alive.

Glitch: Go to next screen without leaving current screen:
Use the finger in certain towns and dungeons. You can move Cloud around the red arrow that points out the exit without leaving the screen. When that happens, you can walk behind the arrow and go to the next screen. This happens quite often in some areas of the Great Glacier and Junon, or where there are wide spaces that lead to other screens.

Glitch: Quadra magic without any Chocobo breeding:
Take the Highwind to the Materia cave containing Quadra magic and you will soon notice their is some land behind the cave. It helps to change the camera angle to the bird's eye view. Try to land on that little space. This rarely works, but when it does your Highwind will be on the land, and you will be directly in front of the cave. This seems to work better if you also have a Chocobo on the Highwind.

Glitch: Phantom Chocobo:
Get a Chocobo in a stable, talk to Billy, and choose "Riding". Once you are outside, get off your Chocobo and go back inside. Talk to Billy again, and choose "Feeding", or anything else that lets you see your Chocobos. Go to the space where that Chocobo you rode was located, to find a phantom looking Chocobo.

Glitch: Stuck in jail:
Get to the point at Shinra where you are jailed. When you fight your way back to your partner and you are supposed to get the keycard from the assistant, do not do so. Instead, go back to your cell. When you get back up and everyone is dead, you cannot get the keycard from him. You will have to start the game again.

Glitch: Softer music:
Mate two Chocobos at the Chocobo Ranch and after they have a baby Chocobo, after you have named the Chocobo and it shows Cloud back inside the barn, the music is a lot lower then when you first walked into the barn.

Glitch: Looping magic:
In a battle, cast "Reflect" on the opponent and then do same thing on yourself. Then, cast Fire, Ice, Lightning or anything else on your opponent or yourself. The chosen materia will "loop" between you and the enemy forever. You will have to restart or turn off the PlayStation to escape.

Glitch: Double kill:
Have Aeris and Tifa in your party. Use Seal Evil with Aeris then finish the paralyzed monster with Tifa's normal attack. It will die two times.

This can occur while fighting the Ultima weapon the final time above Cosmo Canyon. Its final attack is Shadow Flare, and he will use it on the character that kills him. First, choose who is going to deliver the final blow to the Ultima Weapon. Cast Reflect on that character. When he dies, he will cast Shadow Flare, and it will reflect off your character and hit him. He will die, then die again. This technique also works good if you are collecting Enemy Skills. Just put Reflect and the Enemy Skill Materia on the character who will deliver the final blow. You will get Shadow Flare, and it will not be harmful to that character.

Glitch: Fighting Sephiroth:
When fighting the very last form of Sephiroth, normally your limit will fill and you can use Omnislash. However, if you press Triangle to skip your turn as in a normal battle, you will see the same thing happen to Sephiroth as if you had attacked.

Glitch: Misspelling:
During the materia blend for the master command, the game displays "Sence" instead of "Sense".

After buying Chocobo stables at the Chocobo ranch, capture a Chocobo. Then go to the Chocobo rancher's son and buy some Curiel greens. Talk to the Chocobo's ranchers son again and select "Feed Chocobos". The game will display "Kurie" greens instead of "Curiel
greens. The same applies to Krakka/Karaka greens, Pahsana/Pasana greens, Mimett/Memit greens, and Gysahl/Gizzard greens.

Go to the Chocobo Sage's house, just north of Bone Village, and buy the two nuts that he is selling -- the Porov nut and the Pram nut. Go to the Chocobo rancher's son at the Chocobo Ranch. Ask him if you can buy something, and buy the Luchile nut and the Pepio nut. Now ask the Rancher's son if you can mate two Chocobos. Do not worry -- you will not have to mate the two. When he asks you what kind of nut you want to give them, instead of showing "Porov nut", "Porofu will be displayed. It is also different with the Pram/Param nut, Luchile/Ruchin nut, and Pepio/Pipio nut.-

When you have to run on the Cannon as Tifa in the Junon Execution part in the first areas of Disc 2, press Triangle. In the part of the menu screen where it displays your location, it will read "Canon" instead of "Cannon".

When you get the "Luck Plus" Materia in the Temple of the ancients, the message that appears reads, "Recieved 'Lucky Plus'" instead of "Received 'Luck Plus.'"

When in the fighting arena at the Gold Saucer, you will get the choice to continue or stay after defeating an opponent. The actual text reads "Off Course" instead of "Of Course".

When you get to Sector 5 for the first time, go to the pipe with blue inside. Aeris will say saying ''This guy are sick'' instead of ''This guy is sick''.

Get Tifa's final limit break and try to give it to her when she is on limit level 2 or 3. She will say "I've got the wrong person" instead of "You've got the wrong person."

When Cloud asks why Vincent wants to join you in the Shinra Mansion Basement, he will say "Being a former Turks" instead of "Being a former Turk".

Go to Wutai as soon as possible in the game. And at some point Reno or Rude will say: "You are a Turks" instead of "You are a Turk" to Elena.

When you get the Highwind and talk to Cait Sith he says "I will give you information Shinra" instead of "I will give you information about Shinra".
After Meteor has been summoned, go to Cosmo Canyon and to the weapons department in the big mountain-like location. The lady at the counter says "Uh, I mean, it's weird. if there weren't people like you, I'll be out of business. Heh, heh, heh...sweat...!". She says "I'll" instead of "I'd" and "I" in the word "if" will not be capitalized.

When Bizzaro Sepiroth uses Bizzaro Energy the game states that he is using :Bizzaro Enegy".

When the Command Counter Materia is paired with another Materia (such as Morph), the box at the top of the screen will say "cought by surprise" instead of "caught by surprise" when you enter a battle.

When you are in the second to last battle fighting Bizzarro Sephiroth, he will heal himself by saying "Bizzarro Enegy" instead of "Bizzarro Energy."

After you win a battle at the Battle Arena in the Gold Saucer, "Off course!" will appear instead of "Of course!".

Glitch: Grammar:
During the beginning of the game, Barret will say: "If you push the directional button while pushing the [CANCEL] button to run." In that statement, the words "If" and "you" were not needed.
