FFVII Bestiary

There are many different types of enemies in Final Fantasy VII, some uber strong, and some are not so. There are different methods to use to defeat the enemies depending on there strengths and weaknesses. The way to almost always guarantee that you beat your opponent is to always keep you characters levels high. As you go through the game the enemies become stronger, they get more HP, MP and there basic stats improve such as str, spd etc. The good thing about the enemies growing stronger is that you will receive more AP, EXP and gil.

This guide gives you all the enemies’ stats that will help you through the game with more ease. Something that is greatly over looked in FFVII is the ability to steal. Some times stealing is the best way to gain the latest items and even some very expensive ones that can be sold to fill your pockets. So in the guide pay attention to what you can steal from each enemy because it can greatly improve your game. For more information on stealing see the Stealing Guide page. As well as stealing you can also Morph enemies into useful items, however remeber you have to weaken the target before you can do so. For information on how to get the Morph and Steal abilities, go to the Materia page. To see what defeats an enemy quicker, look in the “weakness” section.
