If you have any suggestions or corrections please contact me at scratchgamer@hotmail.com. I'm talking UNIQUE things here people, not the Cursed Ring at the beginning of the game, or the potion in mission x-x-x, but things that serve a singular, specific purpose that can be left behind permanently. While many of these things can be obtained in a second playthrough, not everyone is into replaying even a short game just for a few items. One quick note before we get started, if you see (M) after the name of an item, it indicates that it's Materia. = = = = = = = = = = = = 3.0 Missables List = = = = = = = = = = = = 3.1 - Missions 3.2 - Materia 3.3 - Shops 3.4 - Items 3.5 - Mail ************************ 3.1 - MISSIONS ************************ *Note that while the cutoff point for missing these missions permanently is the end of Chapter 8, there are times before that point where they might be temporarily inaccessible due to storyline events.

He'll tell you about the first wonder, at this point go inspect the water tower, you'll find the Phoenix Materia, and it's all yours. - Make sure to obtain this the first time you enter Nibelheim, certain events unfold that ensure you won't get another chance to obtain it in this game. - To clarify, Summon materia is NOT carried over in New Game+, you'll have to obtain this the hard (re: incredibly easy, just late game) way every time. DMW Limit Materia - Meteor Shots, Lucky Stars, Octaslash, Rush Assault, Air Strike, Healing Wave are all DMW materia that can only be obtained from ONE place in this game, and that is from the Research Dept. QMC+ Shop, which is unlocked when you find the address in a chest in Gongaga in Chapter 10. - These materia, like all non-summon materia, are carried over in New Game+. - To clarify, these materia simply increase the chance of seeing these Limits, they aren't necessary to use the Limits, nor are the necessary to see all the DMW scenes. ************************* 3.3 SHOPS ************************* **Shop access does not carry over to a New Game+ Research Dept. QMC+ - Found in a chest in Gongaga village in Chapter 10. - Inventory: Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Hi-Potion, Meteor Shots, Lucky Stars, Octaslash, Rush Assault, Air Strike, Healing Wave. - Note that this shop is the ONLY way to obtain the DMW materia that it sells.

The Happy Turle - Found in a chest in Mission 4-3-6, which if not unlocked before the end of Chapter 8 becomes permanently unavailable. - Inventory: Fira, Blizzara, Thundara, Cura, Regen, Barrier, Magic Barrier, Dispel, Dash. - Note that there is nothing unique about this shop's inventory.

After the boss fight with the Gen. Tank, there is a mini game in the next area.

Speak with him to take upon the Wonders of Nibelheim sidequest. -Instead of reposting information that I obtained elsewhere, I'll simply give you the link to the FAQ I used. Absolute Steve does great work on his FAQs, and this is no exception. Simply search for "Seven Wonders" and you'll be brought to the part of his FAQ concerning this sidequest. http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/file/925138/50842 ----------------------\ 3.5.2 - Fan Club mail | ----------------------/ The following Fan Club mail can be permanently missed. To ensure that you don't miss any of the following, you'll want to join the four fan clubs as soon as possible. Red Leather, the Study Group and Keepers of Honor can be joined as early as Chapter 3. The Silver Elite (Sephiroth Fan Club) can't be joined until Chapter 6. The Zack Fan Club can't be joined until Chapter 8, and only if you spoke with Cissnei in the optional scene in Junon.

What is Sephiroth's dominant arm? - Left *Note that Keepers of Honor mail is sent to KEEPERS folder. Red Leather and Study Group mail is sent to GENESIS GIRLS folder.
