Just wanted to see if anyone else has encountered the calamities that are FF glitches... Utterly random events that throw the fabric of time and space within final fantasy worlds into chaos and make less than no sense... That aside, ill share a few with you that I have encpuntered.

At Junon the first time, when I had defeated the water beast 'Bottomswell', I was instantly thrust into a battle with him once again because I chose to walk back down toward the beach. How bizarre!

Other times I have caught chocobos, checked them in the stable, and they have been lively. I have gone back and been told they are not promising, or whatever it is they say when the chocobos neck looks broken as it plods along.

Additionally in 10, without any spells to haste or slow being cast, Braskas final Aeon always seems to jump the turn listing and have its go early... Not only this it manages to take this as an extra turn, and then have its normal turn also! A little bit of cheating I fear.

Those are off the top of my head... Anyone else??

My ps2 made all the windows and textures mess up on ff7 once because it's not very good at reading ps1 games with double disk speed enabled but thats not game related...

Clearly you are all forgetting the invisible woman in Cornera castle in FF1.

She also says this before you save the princess, which confused me to the largest degree the first time I played. :D

^ i am pretty sure they put that in on purpose. I was reading a long article, 2 months ago about that.
I was looking for hints on how to get Cid's ultimate weapon (found it) and i came acroos a huge list of glitches in FF7.I will look for it.
FINAL FANTASY VII SPOILERS
Glitch: Gold Saucer FMV:
When flying to Gold Saucer for the first time, the propellers are facing the front, in the direction that it moves. In the FMV sequence, they are on the back, propelling it.

Glitch: Gold Saucer Battle Square entrance:
When you go to the Gold Saucer, go to the Battle Square. Choose to enter the Battle Square with Cloud. Make sure you have a different weapon, such as the Ultima weapon, equipped and enter. When you see Cloud running in, he has his original Buster Sword equipped. However, when you start battling, you see him with the sword you equipped before entering.

Glitch: Unfinished cave:
There is a hidden cave on the pathway to the Ancient Capital. This cave can be found right after the two screens of the Sleeping Forest. Move to the right of the screen where the log bridge is located. You will notice a vine hanging from a cliff. A large opening, which is most likely a cave, can be seen hidden within the shadows of the cliff . There is a small detour that leads to the vine, but you cannot climb it. It has been theorized that this "cave" is a glitch and was probably the remnant of a side-quest in the game that was taken out.
Information in this section was contributed by Cable.

Glitch: Dead end:
When on Disc 1 at the part were you must go to the Sleeping Forest in Bone Village, go to Yuffie's home town instead. You will not be able to do anything and have to start again.
Information in this section was contributed by LILZO15.

Glitch: Missing part of the world:
During Disc 3, while riding a Chocobo or flying the Highwind on the world map, a part of the world will be cut off. You must go to another location immediately. If you remain at the cut off place too long, the screen will freeze and turn black with a small, gray box and a flashing question mark inside. If you wait, the game may recover, but it sometimes does not. Note: The cut off part of the world map will be black.

Glitch Changing sword name:
When you are at the Gold Saucer the second time after Wutai, make sure you have the "Yoshiyuki" weapon for Cloud. Go to the Battle Arena and choose Cloud to enter. When he is running to the center of the arena, he will have a "Buster Sword" instead of the "Yoshiyuki". However, in the battle he has the "Yoshiyuki".
Information in this section was contributed by Rick Marcinowski.

Glitch: Golden Saucer Battle Square:
Note: This trick is done with Cloud. Equip any weapon that he can use except his initial weapon, the Buster Sword (for example, Ragnarok). When you register for the Battle Square, choose Cloud to enter. When he runs in the battle room, he will have his Buster Sword. However, when you go into battle you will have the other sword that was equipped.

Glitch: Aeris' Limit Break:
When you get the Highwind, you can get Mythril from the sleeping man. You can give the Mythril to the weapon seller and he will let you open one of his boxes (the one at the end of the upstairs hallway or the on in the corner). If you choose the small one, you will get Aeris' Great Gospel Limit Break. However, if you have the Highwind, then Aeris is no longer with you.

Glitch: Aeris' ribbon:
In the FMV sequence where Aeris has her final scene, her hair ribbon and the White Materia will come off her. After the FMV sequence, Cloud runs up and catches her. She will have the ribbon in her hair.

When you are on the fifth or sixth flight of stairs, you will see Barret's and Tifa's speech bubbles with comments to each other as they (supposedly) run up the stairs wheezing and puffing. You will see Cloud at the beginning of the flight of stairs, but Barret and Tifa are not running up them. However, unlike the other flights of stairs, they are already at the top of them.

Glitch: Frozen game:
When you are dressed as a woman in the sector Don Corneo lives in, go in front of the Honey Bee. When all the men move towards you, the fat man in the red vest will be the last one to block you off from the Honey Bee. Before he blocks you off, quickly close all dialogue boxes and run around him.

Glitch: Walk through people:
In Mideel, you can walk through most of the people in the town including Tifa and the nurse in the clinic. This also works in several other towns.

Glitch: Submarine through Emerald Weapon:
Take the sub to the bottom of the ocean. You now have to make Emerald Weapon fly over you, which is not easy. One trick is to wait in the bottom of the crater in the middle of the ocean.

The battle music will start and you will encounter a black screen then mysteriously be on the surface.

Glitch: Gargoyles in North Crater:

Information in this section was contributed by KRU-Vegetto.

Glitch: Go to next screen without leaving current screen:
Use the finger in certain towns and dungeons. You can move Cloud around the red arrow that points out the exit without leaving the screen. When that happens, you can walk behind the arrow and go to the next screen. This happens quite often in some areas of the Great Glacier and Junon, or where there are wide spaces that lead to other screens.
Information in this section was contributed by Jarrod Beauregard.

Glitch: Quadra magic without any Chocobo breeding:
Take the Highwind to the Materia cave containing Quadra magic and you will soon notice their is some land behind the cave. It helps to change the camera angle to the bird's eye view. Try to land on that little space. This rarely works, but when it does your Highwind will be on the land, and you will be directly in front of the cave. This seems to work better if you also have a Chocobo on the Highwind.
Information in this section was contributed by LionHeart708.

Glitch: Phantom Chocobo:
Get a Chocobo in a stable, talk to Billy, and choose "Riding". Once you are outside, get off your Chocobo and go back inside. Talk to Billy again, and choose "Feeding", or anything else that lets you see your Chocobos. Go to the space where that Chocobo you rode was located, to find a phantom looking Chocobo.
Information in this section was contributed by Ssj Gohan.

Glitch: Stuck in jail:
Get to the point at Shinra where you are jailed. When you fight your way back to your partner and you are supposed to get the keycard from the assistant, do not do so. Instead, go back to your cell. When you get back up and everyone is dead, you cannot get the keycard from him. You will have to start the game again.
Information in this section was contributed by Goldwyn11.

Glitch: Softer music:
Mate two Chocobos at the Chocobo Ranch and after they have a baby Chocobo, after you have named the Chocobo and it shows Cloud back inside the barn, the music is a lot lower then when you first walked into the barn.
Information in this section was contributed by SpunkyChicken2.

Glitch: Looping magic:
In a battle, cast "Reflect" on the opponent and then do same thing on yourself. Then, cast Fire, Ice, Lightning or anything else on your opponent or yourself. The chosen materia will "loop" between you and the enemy forever. You will have to restart or turn off the PlayStation to escape.
Information in this section was contributed by JOHANSSON TOMAS.

Glitch: Double kill:
Have Aeris and Tifa in your party. Use Seal Evil with Aeris then finish the paralyzed monster with Tifa's normal attack. It will die two times.
Information in this section was contributed by Benoit Houle.

This can occur while fighting the Ultima weapon the final time above Cosmo Canyon. Its final attack is Shadow Flare, and he will use it on the character that kills him. First, choose who is going to deliver the final blow to the Ultima Weapon. Cast Reflect on that character. When he dies, he will cast Shadow Flare, and it will reflect off your character and hit him. He will die, then die again. This technique also works good if you are collecting Enemy Skills. Just put Reflect and the Enemy Skill Materia on the character who will deliver the final blow. You will get Shadow Flare, and it will not be harmful to that character.
Information in this section was contributed by STEVEN BESTER.

Glitch: Fighting Sephiroth:
When fighting the very last form of Sephiroth, normally your limit will fill and you can use Omnislash. However, if you press Triangle to skip your turn as in a normal battle, you will see the same thing happen to Sephiroth as if you had attacked.
Information in this section was contributed by danieljs11.

When fighting Sephiroth for the very last time, instead of attacking, choose "Defend". If you have a mastered Counter Attack Materia equipped, Cloud will attack Sephiroth. Regardless of how many HPs the attack gives, the same thing will happen to Sephiroth as if you used Omnislash.
