I figured out how to get lucky 7777s for any character based on their level 99 hit points just by equipping the right amount of summon and magic materia. First the characters must be at level 99 (obviously) and fully healed. Every magic and summon materia affects your max HP and MP by a certain percentage that is cummulative. You must have enough materia to add up to the correct amount. After equipping the materia then un-equipping all magic and summon materia, you have to heal the character up to 7777 using hi potions and potions.
You'll need lots of free materia slots.
Vincent (Max HP = 8493):
Equip enough materia to get HP -52%, you'll need to use spells that really weaken you like higher level summons and magic.
Un-equip the materia had heal him to 7777.
Cid (Max HP = 8861):
HP -54%
Cloud (Max HP = 9265):
HP -56%
Red XII (Max HP = 8968):
HP -59%
There are no formulas for Tifa, Barret, Cait Sith or Yuffie based on their max HP at level 99, however you can get them to something that ends in 78 and then fight the Desert Creatures outside of Cosmo Canyon, which have an attack that makes physical attacks only do 1 damage. Manipulate might come in handy.
Tifa (Max HP = 8776):
HP -41% gets her to 5178 Max HP.
Barret (Max HP = 9773):
HP -46% gets him to 5278 Max HP.
Cait Sith (Max HP = 8779):
HP -49% gets him to 4478 Max HP.
Yuffie (Max HP = 8726):
HP -59% gets her to 3578 Max HP.
Another easy way to get Cloud to 7777 hit points is to equip him with
HP<->MP materia, and then to unequip it. His Max HP should be 877. Heal him to 7777. I thought this was a pretty clever way to do it, but it doesn't work for any of the other characters. There is no way to get their max MP to end in 77 when they are at level 99. At least you have a use for HP<->MP materia now =) !
