Where I'm Up to in Final Fantasy VII

I got super-muddled, and this is always what stops me from finishing a game.  So I'm going to write lists.

I'm at the point of entering the Northern Cave for the Final Battle.

- I have everyone's ultimate limit break.
- I need Red XIII's Ultimate Weapon.
- I have all magic Materia except Shield, which is in the final dungeon.
- I have all Command Materia except Slash All which is in the Ancient Forest and X-Magic from the final dungeon.
- I have all Support Materia except Magic Counter from Chocobo Racing and (Support) Counter from the Final Dungeon.
-I have all Independent Materia except Enemy Away from Chocobo Racing and Mega All from the Final Dungeon.
I have all summons except Typoon from the Ancient Forest.
- I need to defeat Ruby and Emerald Weapon.
- I need to complete the Ancient Forest.
- I need to finish levelling up in the Sunken Gelnika.
- I need a few more enemy skills, all of which are available in the Northern Cave.
- I need to max my gil.


So, I need to go grab Red XIII's weapon, finish the Ancient Forest, do some more Chocobo Racing, go far enough through Northern Cave in order to pick the materia, level them, then finish the game.  And at some point in there, defeat the weapons and max out my gil.

Later

Okay, got Red XIII's weapon, the Chocobo Racing materia, and I've finished the Ancient Forest.  Time to go defeats the Weapons and get the last two items from the Kalm traveller.
