Final Fantasy 7 weapons
Characters are sorted by the same order they join the party.


 * Atk: Attack
 * Atk%: Attack rate, accuracy
 * MAt: Magic Attack
 * AP: number of slots times growth rate; useful for players who prefer Materia over physical attacks.

Cloud's swords
The Ultima weapon is obtained by defeating Ultimate Weapon near Cosmo Canyon on Disk 2 or 3.

Cid's spears
After the rocket has taken off, go back to Rocket Town and talk to the old man outside the Item Shop three times and he will give you Venus Gospel.

Ultimate weapons
These weapons have the highest Attack and Attack% values, eight linked slots, but no materia growth. Recommended only during the final fight.

None of them can be bought nor sold, therefore the Cost (C.) and Shops (S.) columns are empty. There are special requirements to get all of them.

Materia-growing weapons
These weapons are the most suitable ones to grow materia faster. They either have four slots and double growth (4x2=8) or eight slots and normal growth (8x1=8). Positive exceptions are highlighted.

All the shops sell the weapons in the table below only starting from Disc 2.

Default sorting is by slots configuration.

Materia-free weapons
Sort of jokes, but quite powerful. They can be useful during Wutai side-quest, when all the Materia is stolen.

Always equipped weapons
The Reaver Twin Machine Guns can be bought back if they are sold.

Selectable weapons
The Megabomb is a single use weapon: press the spacebar once to release one Megabomb. You can carry up to five Megabombs at once.

The hotkey for the Twin Laser is really the "-" button, next to the "0" button.

Challenges
Try clearing the video game with a limited selection of weapons, i.e. no more than two, and without the machine gun. You would like to have either a single weapon for aerial and terrestrial target, or two, one for air targets and one for ground target.

Examples:
 * Plasma cannon (air) & Bomb (ground)
 * Laser turret (air) & Air-ground missiles (ground)
 * Micro missiles alone
 * Twin laser alone

Cheats
Press backspace to lose all money, get full health and two Deathrays that can be sold for good money. The more times you press backspace, the more Deathrays you get. You can then abort mission, sell the Deathrays and buy any weapon you like.

Scientific classification of Pokémon
From a taxonomical point of view, there are 76 Pokémon species, instead of 151.

What the Western translations of the videogames call "evolution" is actually growth from young to adult. Also, what is called "species" in the videogames is actually a life stage, e.g. young, cocoon or adult.

Of all the Pokémon species, the vast majority is inspired to real animals existing in nature, and they can be classified according to Lynnaeus method. Note that Lynnaeus lived one century before Darwin and the formulation of the scientific theory of evolution (Note also that "scientific theory" means "set of correlated theorems").

Scientific Pokédex
NOTE: Strictly speaking, "Invertebrata" is not an animal phylum, but a term of convenience including all phyla except for chordata. Here, it is used to group all the few animal pokémons that are neither Chordates/Vertebrates nor Arthropodes.
