Equip Materias To Farm Gil

The best way to increase the resulting Gil out of enemy encounters is to use and equip the Gil Up Materia as it doubles the gil rewarded after every battle. Using Materia's such as Magnify and First Strike also helps as it significantly reduces battle times, allowing you to replay & farm.

Recommended Gil Farming Materias

Materia	Description & How To Get
Gil Up	Doubles the gil rewarded after battles Clear Two-Person Team vs. High Flyers in the Shinra Combat Simulator
Any Element Materia	Equip Materias that your enemies are weak against to shorten the battle time Shop, drops, etc.
Elemental	Adds elemental damage to your normal attacks Get it in Chapter 6
Magnify	Modifies your magic attacks to damage multiple enemies Get it in Chapter 9
First Strike	Significant ATB boost once battle starts Clear Battle Intel Report No. 3
Steal	Allows you to steal items from bosses and enemies Clear Battle Intel Report No. 7

Go Easy Mode For Faster Results
