When Final Fantasy VII was released in Japan it instantly became the best selling game of all time, so an English and American converision wasn't far off. Unfortunately the instructions that came with the conversion were not up to scratch, making the game very off-putting to begin with.
I hope people will be able to get over their difficulties with the game by using this site. If you are stuck anywhere on the game you should be able to find the solution here. Whether its choosing which weapons and Materia to buy, or how to defeat the bosses.
However I am creating this site as I play through the game, so I might not be able to help you if you are stuck a lot further on in the game.
