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.

| Gil Up | Doubles the gil rewarded after battles Clear Two-Person Team vs. High Flyers in the Shinra Combat Simulator |

Go Easy Mode For Faster Results
Although the gil obtained after winning fights is unchanged regardless of difficulty, enemies are definitely far more easy to beat on Easy Mode. Change to this difficulty if you want to save time.
