To be clear, this glitch can duplicate any materia you can obtain up to this point AND on any version of the game. You can even duplicate master materia and KOTR since it is far enough in the game to obtain them.
Cant wait till im in a nursing home, im ready to get tucked into bed after my dinner of mashed potatoes and gravy, i turn on my phone to see if my children have text me and there it is: "NEW FF7 GLITCH DISCOVERED 7 DECADES LATER". A single tear rolls down my cheek.

I've been watching videos on FF VII lately, and I think I need another playthrough. I haven't played since 1998 when I ran up the clock to 99 hours and 59 minutes. God knows how long I've put into that game. Probably the best story of any game I've ever played.
Dude thank you for the patient and thorough walkthrough WITH visual of the code execution and explanation. You make this game which impacted me greatly even more fascinating.
I wonder if this was Squaresoft's first time or the team's first time using C++ but I imagine the tech demos on SGI workstation and then deliberating between N64 or PS was a brand new experience. Lots of state based bugs. Game still holds up despite "remakes" and still plenty of passionate fans. You love to see it.
Imagine discovering this back in the late 90’s before media services. You would have to write a short book, or record yourself explaining it on VHS. Then send it in to a VG magazine like Electronic Gaming Monthly. If they decide to print it, it would be like a 5-6 page article on how to do it.
Good lord.. I knew the huge reveal had something to do with materia duplication but never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed this. This is such a huge find!
I just started up a run 2 days ago (still not passed the sewers because of the lack of time) and this will be super fun to play with when I finally get there
Man, this randomly popping into my suggestions made me experience all the feels. I abhore the remake so I've been wanting to replay the only real FF7 for a while. Having to wait so long into the game is sad, though. My OCD couldn't handle that. I would have mastered everything several times by this point so the glitch is redundant. FeelsBadMan. It would've been great as a time saver for replaying FF7.
The hilarious thing is that this is as convoluted as some of the 20 step Aerith revival methods we all spread as kids but which never worked... except this somehow does 😂
And now we have similar methods to actually revive Aerith, as well. Leo from FFVI had a lot of rumors and made-up tricks about saving him, we also ended up getting that one eventually. Isn't the future grand.

This is a really clear demonstration of an extremely niche series of glitches/exploits layering in increasing ways to generate wildly unexpected results. It's also a wonderful demonstration of why logic errors can be notoriously difficult to isolate, and cost prohibitive to fix. This would make an excellent case study for iteratively adding defensive programming to handle and close these windows of glitching opportunity.
since i play only on pc, i think imma just use the standard materia smuggling glitch to duplicate any materia that i want, although u can only duplicate 2 materia at a time but its still super fast, super easy and can be done at any point in the game.. but i think this is great for those who play on other platforms..
Awesome explanation, and I love everything you presented here. Its amazing we now have this GEM of a glitch to utilize. Wanted to put it out that disc chronology don't matter though. In ff7/8/9 the game is actually stored across all disc's, for compatibility reasons, but also because the only reason it had to be broken across three was because of the massive fmvs. The code base otherwise is relatively tiny. I know this because back in the day, my ff game disc's kept getting scratched but if I did a quick disc swap when it got caught up, I could still run the game on a good disc. HOWEVER, the drawback is any scene that requires fmvs WILL crash the game.
Yeah sure. 99,99% of every person that has played the game has done so without experiment any glitches. Mind you, this is before updates were usual/available.
I’m sure the devs were just being cute with the code and thought it would be fun to have yuffie’s character actually run a command to give back the materia. They probably never considered that someone would figure out how to: Stick a chocobo in the sand Retrieve a second chocobo from the farm Avoid a soft-lock by boarding Highwind immediately without walking Land on Wutai Dismount the chocobo which spawns the stuck chocobo Trigger Yuffie’s side quest Auto warp back to farm Fight Diamond Weapon Get through Midgar raid Begin disk 3 Resume Yuffie’s side quest Avoid another softlock by keeping her out of the party Progress to a certain point in side quest Put Yuffie in party in correct slot Finish side quest triggering NPC Yuffie and party member Yuffie to give back materia IN THAT ORDER
Thanks for bringing this glitch back to light. Yes, it existed in both PC versions of the game that required discs the FF7 platinum edition. As well. We would just trade faith files instead of going through it manually each time though. Walking around with all of your characters at level 99. Also was fun.
Hahaha I am so glad I subbed to you man. I don't always click your vids as it's often a lets play, but this is pure gold, congrats on your work with other contributors.
This is absolutely amazing to see, and also how it works on all verisons etc being just a bit of code. Thank you for showing it on OG hardware too! What a crazy discovery, wonder what else this game has to offer in future when it comes to glitches. Wassup Muglitches!
I know i've mentioned this before and most agreed. When are they putting this guy and tsunamods NPC's in the remake, just out of pure bloody respect for what they both do for the FF7 community.
This is really cool, but I don't like the comments saying it's bad code, it’s not a case of “dumpster code” or bad code, you have to remember they need to be efficient with writing code and pointers. So having them all 6 for example more efficient a different number per character. Also there should be no way that yuffie can be in the party twice so why would they code an edge case for that?
Man to think that I've re-played FF7 about 30 times since the 90's when I first played it (still the best FF game in the franchise in my honest opinion), and STILL never got kotr summon because I could never breed the right chocobo (and finding it too tedious to keep re-trying after a couple of failures).... XD
@@RetroFanatic-Trapster2 As long as you haven't defeated Godo, you can still get trine. That and Pandoras box as the main 'can miss forever' enemy skills
I've played through every numbered FF through XV. I lost faith in SE when they broke their promise for all the XV DLCs. Seeing this video has me itching to play VII again.
Well, as cool as double every materia could be, I have no trouble completing this game without it 🤔 still would be nice to not have to level up a bunch of double cut materia 😂
@59:00 My game crashes after diamond weapon due to the scratches, but if I swap on the fly my Disc 1 inside, the game goes on and when you step out of the scene after the fight it plays Disc 1 cutscenes from Midgar and Golden Saucer, and after the cutscenes are done, I just make another swap back to disc 2 while the game is on and... it just works. It's fun that you see nice gondola rides going and after that guys are terrified about the destruction it caused :D
Honestly, I wish I knew this back when my FFVIII disc was scratched. Could never get through the beginning FMV due to scratches. I went and bought a used greatest hits copy of the game. Never thought to swap out the disc and then select new game. lol
hey i remember ive finished this game... but i dont seem to remember like at leat 50% the stuff i see when people run this game in YT... is it possible to finish ffvii without actually playing like some 50% of the story? like 50% of the game are sidequests that ive missed?
Hey man, it was 1997. There was no QA or validation testing back then. Heck, the only version control they had was burning crap to a CD and writing the number on it with a sharpie.
Damn, this is awesome! I can't imagine the kind of combos you can do with just as many dupes as you want of any materia! If there are any combinations left to discover? Im not aware of every single one, but i know theres so many
death when you say you KNOW the code you sound like you KNOW the code. like to the point where you probably have ff7.exe hard wired into your brain at this point. You literally liked ff7 so much you downloaded the code into your understanding so you could BECOME final fantasy 7. you are a legend been watching for years!
I love this, so close to Rebirth and the ff7 community is on tare! I cant wait for a new no slots skip and the speedrun community goes limit break mode
I in my mid 40s and played this when it first come out. (Yes i old man who still enjoy gaming) I have a odd memory that this was known way back when it first come out.
Perhaps you confuse it with W-item glitch that duplicates items? That was widely known back when the game came out. This whole thing seems way different than anything known back then.
my mother f-in youtube hero!! Im gonna have to upload my own video game discoveries soon (sadly not for a game as good as FFVII, but heck i'll take it)
a bit like Phantasy Star Online I&II's duplication glitch. basically the glitch can happen because the character, due to a specific setup, can freely move while looking at the items in a shop (which was not intended to happen) and developers did not foresee that. in the end you open up two different menus which both look at your stack of items at hand. in one you drop it, in the other you still have it. then by carefully selecting the right option you deposit the same item in the bank and end up having two copies of the same item: one on the floor (can be picked up) and the other in the bank. I know it's cheating but it can save a crapload of time (especially for rare or powerful items) and it's used in some speedruns.
Yuffie is genuinely a harbinger of the biggest critical weakness in the fabric of the universe, I think she needs to be sealed away in an evergaol to atone for her actions
Do you think you'll have this much materia combination in the new FF7 game. I use to watch your old videos years ago on ff7 and the many in-depth tutorials. I just played the demo of rebirth and it seems not to be as well oiled as the original.'Yet time will be see I guess.
I JUST saw the original Yuffie glitch video. In that video you had her in the third member position, if you had put her in the second you would've discovered it back then? I'm trying to recall if this added any new steps. 🤔

Thank you for being the biggest ultra nerd the world has ever seen. Thank you. 🫡
Seems like w-item is not duplicatable, unless you take it back in time
Come to think of it, where does that matiria fall on yuffies priority list? Given it's ordinarily not in your inventory during yuffies side mission
I've read that FF7 was a barely functional bunch of code, held together with chewing gum and prayer, but this is pretty ridiculous.
Whats happens if the duplicated materia exceeds the limit of how many materia youre allowed to carry?

I’m sure the devs were just being cute with the code and thought it would be fun to have yuffie’s character actually run a command to give back the materia. They probably never considered that someone would figure out how to:
Stick a chocobo in the sand
Retrieve a second chocobo from the farm
Avoid a soft-lock by boarding Highwind immediately without walking
Land on Wutai
Dismount the chocobo which spawns the stuck chocobo
Trigger Yuffie’s side quest
Auto warp back to farm
Fight Diamond Weapon
Get through Midgar raid
Begin disk 3
Resume Yuffie’s side quest
Avoid another softlock by keeping her out of the party
Progress to a certain point in side quest
Put Yuffie in party in correct slot
Finish side quest triggering NPC Yuffie and party member Yuffie to give back materia

How many of those enemy skill ones do you have at this point then? 4? A pain to fly around getting all skills for everyone, though
@@RetroFanatic-Trapster2 yeah 4. and you can just put every enemy skill on one character to learn
@@Windraesa Not sure why I didn't think of that. But at that point, aren't there any that you can't get anymore?
@@RetroFanatic-Trapster2 As long as you haven't defeated Godo, you can still get trine. That and Pandoras box as the main 'can miss forever' enemy skills
man i remember when i watched your videos 8 years ago😂 now you've come back on my recommendation again
Truly one of the glitch of all time. Sad that I missed the stream!
Sweet, I always look forward to these uploads.
Good thing Steal Materia is so low on Yuffie's list, ironically enough. And the weapon you get to immediately steal (from a Weapon!) is for her too.
Man, that bot attack was crazy. Ofcourse it happens right during the mega materia duplication glitch like, “look, we can duplicate too. 😝” 😂
I've played through every numbered FF through XV. I lost faith in SE when they broke their promise for all the XV DLCs. Seeing this video has me itching to play VII again.
Well, as cool as double every materia could be, I have no trouble completing this game without it 🤔 still would be nice to not have to level up a bunch of double cut materia 😂
I'm still amazed that this game ran at all, let alone a PC port, and even more modern ports of the same code :O
This pretty cool. Amazing were still discovering stuff 20+yrs later
It's crazy how glitches are still being found for this amazing game :)
@59:00 My game crashes after diamond weapon due to the scratches, but if I swap on the fly my Disc 1 inside, the game goes on and when you step out of the scene after the fight it plays Disc 1 cutscenes from Midgar and Golden Saucer, and after the cutscenes are done, I just make another swap back to disc 2 while the game is on and... it just works. It's fun that you see nice gondola rides going and after that guys are terrified about the destruction it caused :D
Honestly, I wish I knew this back when my FFVIII disc was scratched. Could never get through the beginning FMV due to scratches. I went and bought a used greatest hits copy of the game. Never thought to swap out the disc and then select new game. lol
Hmm it just always bitched at me about wrong disc being inserted. Maybe cuz I was on the original Playstation.
Awesome work bro. I love your dedication to the game :)
Makes me want to play this game again. ❤
Thanks for this, just tried it on my ps5. Works great.
Good stuff once more! Even the double Yuffie glitch was pretty neat. Wondering how come u never did a vid covering that one?
He did

hey i remember ive finished this game... but i dont seem to remember like at leat 50% the stuff i see when people run this game in YT... is it possible to finish ffvii without actually playing like some 50% of the story? like 50% of the game are sidequests that ive missed?
Another awesome vid death, thank you!
You can basically bring most materia to close to max, dupe them and then master both. BAM! 4 of each Materia.
Hey man, it was 1997. There was no QA or validation testing back then. Heck, the only version control they had was burning crap to a CD and writing the number on it with a sharpie.
Dude im just starting a play thorugh og ff7 this is so awesome that this is unlocking all these secrets
Damn, this is awesome! I can't imagine the kind of combos you can do with just as many dupes as you want of any materia! If there are any combinations left to discover? Im not aware of every single one, but i know theres so many
Dude, that's sick! I'm going to dupe Materia like a crack fiend! After 20+ this game ceases to amaze me.
Final Fantasy VII; the game that LITERALLY never stops giving.
So cool, that stuff is STILL being found out about this game. The GOAT
I want to watch someone maxed out with all of these materia take on some bosses now. Very cool discovery.
death when you say you KNOW the code you sound like you KNOW the code. like to the point where you probably have ff7.exe hard wired into your brain at this point. You literally liked ff7 so much you downloaded the code into your understanding so you could BECOME final fantasy 7. you are a legend been watching for years!
That amount of hours i spent on this game , used guides, books , anything i could get my hands on and loved it all
That's wild! Just play through 95% of the game, pull five different potentially game breaking glitches and Bob's your uncle ya got X2 materia!
Love that stuff like this is still getting discovered 27 years later
I love this, so close to Rebirth and the ff7 community is on tare! I cant wait for a new no slots skip and the speedrun community goes limit break mode
Man!!!!!!!! Death ☠️ this game has been amazing me since 1997!!!
I in my mid 40s and played this when it first come out. (Yes i old man who still enjoy gaming) I have a odd memory that this was known way back when it first come out.
Perhaps you confuse it with W-item glitch that duplicates items? That was widely known back when the game came out.
This whole thing seems way different than anything known back then.
my mother f-in youtube hero!! Im gonna have to upload my own video game discoveries soon (sadly not for a game as good as FFVII, but heck i'll take it)
Unbelievable! What an amazing find, so late. **Victory Theme Plays**
Amazing. Its still my favorite phone game to this day.
a bit like Phantasy Star Online I&II's duplication glitch. basically the glitch can happen because the character, due to a specific setup, can freely move while looking at the items in a shop (which was not intended to happen) and developers did not foresee that.
in the end you open up two different menus which both look at your stack of items at hand. in one you drop it, in the other you still have it. then by carefully selecting the right option you deposit the same item in the bank and end up having two copies of the same item: one on the floor (can be picked up) and the other in the bank.
I know it's cheating but it can save a crapload of time (especially for rare or powerful items) and it's used in some speedruns.
Zhu will be honoured with you guys this is awesome guys i listen to this to on my Spotify
I kinda have a love-hate relationship with this channel. For example:
I LOVE this glitch!
I hate that I will be playing ff7 AGAIN now.
Thanks.
Bro, this is why I love VII: it's simultaneously the best game of all time the most broken game of all time. It is just paradoxical.
Back at it again at materia dupe
_Sister Ray shatters every window of Shinra Building_
Yuffie is genuinely a harbinger of the biggest critical weakness in the fabric of the universe, I think she needs to be sealed away in an evergaol to atone for her actions
Do you think you'll have this much materia combination in the new FF7 game. I use to watch your old videos years ago on ff7 and the many in-depth tutorials. I just played the demo of rebirth and it seems not to be as well oiled as the original.'Yet time will be see I guess.
Love how the original glitches we found in 1997 are coming back fresh and new for new players.
This was exactly what I was looking for. The entire time I was just thinking to myself 'We knew about this, it isn't new'.
I literally just commented this lol
Nobody knew about this, lmao. You guys are thinking of the w-item dupe glitch. No materia dupes were known until the last few years.
I JUST saw the original Yuffie glitch video. In that video you had her in the third member position, if you had put her in the second you would've discovered it back then? I'm trying to recall if this added any new steps. 🤔
Looks like the materia was doubled in that video too...
@@Classic_DionysuS that's wild if so!
