Each character in FF7 has up to seven limit breaks; three levels with two at each level, and one final limit break at level 4.
You unlock new levels by having that character defeat enemies (ie, deal the final blow), and unlock the second limit break at each level by having them use the first one. The final limit break requires a specific item for each character in order to unlock it, and characters begin with their first limit break unlocked.
To unlock the first three levels of limits;
