Here's Some hints That I Think Will Come In Handy.
The Safe in Shinra Mansion (Nibelheim)
The safe inside the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim has 3 important things inside, Summon materia "Odin", RedXIII's Level 4 Limit Break Manual, and the "Key to the Basement", before attempting to open the safe, remember to heal your characters, you'll fight a boss (Lost Number) as soon as the safe is opened. The combination is RIGHT 36, LEFT 10, RIGHT 59, RIGHT 97, you have a limited amount of time to open the safe, if you overshoot, you'll have to do the combination all over again. Remember to press [OK] or O to confirm the number.

Turtle's Paradise Flyers
If you read all 6 flyers you can get 6 sources and a Megalixir from the Turtle's Paradise in Wutai. A source will raise your character's ability by one point permanently! Do not underestimate the sources, do not sell the sources! It may be only a point, but, when you get all of them, they add up!
Flyer #1 - In the area before entering Aeris' house, go to the house all the way on the right, when you go upstairs you'll see a kid on the bed, he'll be muttering something about no one being able to find it, look at the papers on his wall, read it by pressing [OK], that's flyer #1.
Flyer #2 - Inside the 1st Floor of the Shinra Building in Midgar, go past the 2 large staircases and stay on the first floor, read a bunch of papers on a bulletin board near the elevators.
Flyer #3 - Inside the Gold Saucer Ghost Hotel, read the sign next that's next to a clock, look on the floor for the "SHOP" sign, it's the only white piece of paper there.
Flyer #4 - At Cosmo Canyon, check the sign next to the TigerLily's Weapons Shop, it's on the left side of the shop.
Flyer #5 - Also at Cosmo Canyon, check inside the Inn, on the second floor of the Inn, look to the left of the counter, there's a gold piece of paper, that's the fifth one!
Flyer #6 - During Yuffie's subquest, when you're inside her house, check to the right of the doorway, there's a scroll there, that's the sixth one! So go to Turtle's Paradise and get your loot!

Sources and where to get them and what they do
Later on in the game, you may feel your characters are too weak, or not at where you want them to be. The solution - get some of them kick ass sources! In the Gelinka, everyone can be morphed into a source! What I do is I use Demi 3 with All materia (Gravity) to lower their HP, then I Mime that, and cast it again and if necessary, Mime again, then it's a Morph fest! Remember, Demi 3 drains the 75% of the enemy's HP, so it won't kill them, Morph has to kill in order to Morph someone, and a Morph hit is 1/8 of what your regular physical attack would be.

How to raise limit breaks quickly
This method is kinda risky....but it's worth it if you're in a hurry to raise your break limits from the first limit for the level to the second one. (Example - Going from Braver to Cross Slash requires using your break limit X amount of times. Going from Cross Slash to Blade Beam will require you to kill X amount of enemies.)Put Fury on your character using "Hyper" what the status Fury does is decrease your hit percentage but everytime you get hit your limit bar will get filled up faster, but you'll also be taking more damage! One place where you don't have to use Hyper to get into Fury mode is Cosmo Canyon, there, the Penguin like enemies will use "Rage Bomber" on you. It causes Fury on you, everytime I got hit, my limit bar was filling up fast! Use this technique only in places that you know well! The last place this should be used is the Northern Crater!
To reach the next Level (Example - Level 2 Climhazzard to Level 3 Meteorain) go to areas where they're in bunches of 3, 4 or 5, then just keep the other characters in the back row, if you have 2x/4x-Slash, Counter Attack equip it on the character that's having their limit level increased. Now just make sure you don't have that character heal, have the others do it, have that character attack constantly. Or for more fun, cast Beserk on that character while the rest of your characters sit back and relax or heal. Remember, don't go to areas that you're not used to being in. The best places to go is the Temple of the Ancients area, Mideel area, Midgar area, Wutai area. Just remember to equip yourself properly!

W-Item Materia location & trick
Location of the W-Item materia in Midgar (Disc 2)
During the raid of Midgar in Disc 2, you'll enter the train tunnels after going through a little "maze", now when you reach the train tunnel, go down (south) the screen, not up! If you see any of your characters and talk to them, don't listen to them if they say you're headed the wrong direction, keep going down the tunnel. Eventually you'll hit a dead end with a save point, but, look on the right side, there's your W-Item materia! Take it, then save your game!
Location of the W-Item materia if you missed it in Midgar (Disc 3)
If you look on the lower level of Bone Village, you see the staircase? Now look on the ground close to that staircase, there will be a X on the ground that's a different color than the ground. Now have em dig on the center of that X you may get Cid's Mop the first time, the second, maybe even a third time, you could get nothing, the third or fourth try will ger you the W-Item!
How to work the W-Item Trick
To work the W-Item trick, you have to have W-Item equipped and 2 items of what you want to duplicate. Okay, now when you get to the character equipped with W-Item, select the item you want to duplicate (let's say Elixir), now select it (the Elixir) with [OK], then use it (Elixir) with [OK]. Notice you used it (Elixir) and now you have one less of the item you want to duplicate (Elixir). Now, go to another item (Potion), select that item (Potion) with [OK] but don't press [OK] to use it! Instead, press [CANCEL], and now the item you want to duplicate (Elixir) is back to it's original number. Now repeat with using item number 2 (Potion) and then canceling until you reach the amount of items (Elixirs) desired. I HIGHLY recommend you try the W-Item trick only against weak enemies who do squat for damage. Also, one should W-Item all their Megalixirs, Elixirs, X-Potions, Turbo Ethers, and Hero Drinks until you have 99! These items are really important to use when it comes to fighting the Weapons and other bosses! Well, regarding the earlier part where I said, you need 2 items of what you want to duplicate...I was wrong! You don't need 2, you only need one! Yup, it shows up as a blank, but it reappears in your item menu screen! So, you can duplicate ALL battle useable items!
