Materia

Phoenix (Summon) Materia

- The first Wonder of Nibelheim, Chapter 9. Speak to the boy standing outside
of his house to start the Wonders quest. He'll tell you about the first
wonder, at this point go inspect the water tower, you'll find the Phoenix
Materia, and it's all yours.

- Make sure to obtain this the first time you enter Nibelheim, certain events
unfold that ensure you won't get another chance to obtain it in this game.

- To clarify, Summon materia is NOT carried over in New Game+, you'll have to
obtain this the hard (re: incredibly easy, just late game) way every time.


DMW Limit Materia

- Meteor Shots, Lucky Stars, Octaslash, Rush Assault, Air Strike, Healing Wave
are all DMW materia that can only be obtained from ONE place in this game, and
that is from the Research Dept. QMC+ Shop, which is unlocked when you find the
address in a chest in Gongaga in Chapter 10.

- These materia, like all non-summon materia, are carried over in New Game+.

- To clarify, these materia simply increase the chance of seeing these Limits,
they aren't necessary to use the Limits, nor are the necessary to see all the
DMW scenes.

Shield.

Nice list, even if I assume it's just copypastaed from someone else's guide.

Also it's /possible/ this won't all be relevant but hopefully someone will make a proper guide before I buy this in a few months...

[medion_no]

The first cursed ring is missable even if you can get it later in the game by other methods...

[DBZ_KAKAROT]

Most of these are obvious, I only missed one thing on my first play-through and that's talking to Cissnei in Junon (ch.6), to get the Fan club achievement, oh well, at least I was playing in normal, I will get it on my second play-through on hard.

Question about these mission unlocks, if I don't unlock them before Chapter 8 does that mean the NPC won't be available anymore or that the mission itself in the mission list is no longer available ? My point is if I have the mission unlocked do I have to do them immediately or will they be gone after chapter 8 ? Thanks.

Some missions need you to talk to the npc again in the map after completing them.

So in other words do them all before chapter 8 because I can't finish the quest line otherwise ?
