I managed to get my characters totally maxed out, i used a trick to get as many power sources as i could and as many luck sources, does anyone know how to get more sources without using a game genie or action replay, or using altered saves? give me ur highest stats without any cheating.

well i maxed them all out so i had 255 strength and 100% hit percentage and 255 luck these are the most important. this meant that every time and enemy attacked me they missed everytime without fail and every hit i did back was the most damage possible for attack 9999 and always hit them. i also had my materia set up so that everytime cloud was attacked even though the attack missed he would counter attack with 4x Cut , with each attack being 9999 hp . My party was totally invincible, couple all this with 255 magic defence and magic attack, the only attack that hurt my party was sephiroths frog and confuse thing! ah those were the days!

hmmm, i only every seemed to remember that i got cloud and tifa strength to 255, can't remember if i altered my games save, but i remember i definatly got my cloud's strength to 255

I personally haven't sepnt time at all down morphing the Sources but if I ever attempt to max everything out, yeah that's the way to go. It'd be great to have your characters buffed to the max, but it'll probably take quite some time.
