    They probably just put the 7s in there to see how many people would notice.

    It could be a "theme" that Sqaure decided to put in. I have reason to believe that Sqaure like themes, at least in their later games (have to check the earlier ones), but I can remember that FFX had a lot of water related stuff for instance, and FFVIII had various references to feathers and flower fields (the appearance of lions might have been a minor theme too.) So maybe "7" was chosen to be a theme for FFVII...

    Probably, but it's more fun to assume it was intentional.

    I think that it must have been an intentional decision made by the developers. The 7777 rage (or whatever it is) was definitely a conscious decision made by the developers. Why they did it, I don't know. Probably because it was the seventh game in the series. Although I'm sure it's actually a secret Illuminati scheme to entrap the entire world.

    maby all of those 7777's are hypnotizing us all to become a mindless army for the illuminati shadow government. or mabey it causes more people to buy the game.

    The 7,777 rage mode (Lucky Sevens?) was because of slot machines that lined up 777 is sometime jackpot. Some of these 7's that y'all are stating are not even stated in the game. I could take any reoccuring number or theme and try to link it to some sort of theory or conspiracy if I wanted to.

    I like to think all the 7s are intentional. Another small point, Aeris final weapon has 7 materia slots

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    The question has been answered. It is a theme and themes are awesome. Every reference to the number 7 in this game adds to it.

    Why is Vincent (coincidentally has 7 letters) 27 instead of 26 or 29?
    Cloud is 21 (a multiple of 7) as would be Zack if he were still alive. I think he was 21 when he died. One of Zack's attacks in Crisis Core deals 15 hits. To a trio, it will deal 7 hits to two separate enemies and then 1 final (not worthwhile) hit to the last enemy.
    Genesis coincidentally has 7 letters in his name.
    I could have sworn Sephiroth's Masamune was supposed to be a 7-ft.-sword. Flub on that one.
    Before Cid's rocket went wrong, at some point, Shera says "Tank Number 7 check is complete".

    After being captured by Hojo, Ifalna escaped 7 years later with Aerith.

    Marlene coincidentally has 7 letters in her name.

    Zack and Aerith dated 7 years ago.

    Tifa hasn't seen Cloud for 7 years.

    Midgar - Midgard. According to the Norse mythology, it is the home of "man" one of the 7 races around at that time.

    Aeris's best weapon has only 7 materia sockets.

    In Bone Village, you can only have 7 diggers at a time.

    At the Chocobo Ranch, you can only hold 7 chocobos. Also, chocobos can be found in 7 different areas of the World Map.

    The monsters called Castanets, Custom Sweeper, Vargid Police, Elfadunk, Zemzelett, Levrikon and Forumla each have AP 7.

    Rocket Lanucher (monster) drops 7 gil.

    Striking Staff
    Wiser Staff, Dragoon Lance, Force Stealer, Platinum Fist, Sniper CR, Boomerang and Wind Slash all have m. att. 7.

    Tifa's final limit break, you will get 7 rolls to use and in Battle Arena, the limit number of the rolls is 7.

    LIMIT Breaks performed 7 times to get attacks.
    Tifa's Water Kick for Meteodrive.
    Cloud's Blade Beam for Climhazzard.
    Aerith's Healing Wind for Seal Evil.
    Barret's Satellite Beam for Ungermax.
    Red XIII's Blood Fang for Stardust Ray.
    Cid's Boost Jump for Dynamite.
    Yuffie's Landscaper for Bloodfest.

    You are held in Junon for 7 days after your capture.

    In Junon, one of the doors to get to Rufus (at the dock) is numbered 7.

    In Mideel, a couple of guys talk about how Cloud was discovered 7 days ago washed ashore near the edge of town, and that he is currently in the hospital.

    In the maze, the door at 7 o' clock brings you to the Trumpet Shell whose att is 68 (2 pts from 70).

    The promise between Cloud and Tifa was made "7 years ago".
    There are 7 types of Materia (if the Black and White Materias are included)
    When Tifa passes out, she is asleap for 7 months, acording to Barret.
    As you near the end of the game, it is said that Meteor will fall in about 7 days.
    The 7 Squares in the Saucer.
    If you are hurt in battle, and your HP lands on exactly 7777 that character will keep attacking and each hit will be 7777

    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
