Steal

Just wondering if any particular stat determins or increases the success rate of Steal, in FFVII in paticular? It's been hacking my brain for years yet can't find any solid info about it on the intornetz.

I've been wondering that myself, considering the poor success rate the steal materia has on this game, hardly worth using.

Though I don't know anything solid my guess is increasing speed and luck. Also levelling up the steal materia may give you a higher success rate.

I agree with FFguy I think Speed, Luck and leveling the materia are most likely your best bets.

I must admit the steal materia has always seemed less effective then steal abilities in other FF games.

Zidane in IX seemed so much more likely to succeed for example. Except for that damn moos giant when trying to get that flute.

I also found that steal in FFVII wasn't to handy either. You never got anything that exciting and most of the bosses didn't have much to steal either.

I think throughout the course of the game I only stole from two enemies. The SOLDIER 2nd class for the sword you get and the boss in cosmo canyon though I can't remember what for.

High Luck determines your steal rate. If I recall correctly, Yuffie had the best steal rate in the game. I just put a mastered Lucky Plus materia on her and she would basicly steal on the first attempt. I tried the theory out by equiping the sneak glove on her and removing the Luck+ materia, and she stole at half the rate as she was before.

I never had a problem with steal, I stole from everything, if it failed I just kept trying until I got what I wanted....but then I am a persistent fool....

I pretty much manage to nick summin from every battle I chose to steal from tho. It took an absolute AGE to get mug though which was a pain in the backside

I just remembered you can steal Tetra Elementals from Cactuars on Cactuar Island. Just goes to show that even 30 odd playthroughs down the line, there is still stuff I forget or just don't know about lol

Luck Plus on Yuffie it tis then

Steal was a great Idea but it can be a bit stupid sometimes. In most final fantasy games the stealm command doesn't really get you many benifits. usually 1 or 2 good items per game.

The best stealing I've seen is in final fantasy 6. stealing from the Merchants and low ranking soldiers.
