What were your biggest achievements in 7?

[CimminyCricket]

My biggest achievement was beating Ruby and Emerald and finally getting the Gold Chocobo.

[Skyblade]

What is most difficult to me in the game is to steal the Vagyrisk Claw and win the Umbrella at Gold Saucer... Even Chocobo Breeding is easier to me than these two...

I never understood the difficulty in getting the Vagyrisk claw. Sure, it's rare, but it's not like it's impossible to get. I'm an insane powerleveller (Meteorain before the first fight with Rufus), and yet I was nowhere near the cutoff point at which the Vagyrisk claw disappears when I first get to the Cosmo Canyon area. It takes a little persistence, and, yes, you have to know it's there. But it's not really hard.

And I did get the Umbrella/Parasol. But I do have an advantage there, because it's way, way easier to get on the PC version.

I got it on PS1 like a boss.

Yeah, maybe I used to be quite unlucky on this matter... I don't even powerlevel, I count on classes strategy but I remember passing ours with the poor Thief Yuffie trying to steal that damn Vagyrisk Claw... Maybe it was because she has huge Dexterity (granted by also equip and Materia) and is too good as a Thief?

Actually a worse Thief may have more chances... But my classes restrictions forbid to even equip the Steal Materia to anyone other than Yuffie... Hahahaha...

I always get it even on PSX for that matter and I don't go on until I have it, but it's hard to me... XD

Mastering all Materia/Getting my Gold Chocobo/Beating Emerald and Ruby Weapons/Getting all Ultimate Weapons.

Beating the game in one sitting with no eating or sleeping allowed. The final time was 21:42. (I could have gone faster, but I hadn't played it in quite a while and wanted to enjoy myself.)

Seriously?

Amazing!

I'm just trying now to record my Job class playthough but I don't have particular restrictions beside that any character has a class and only some equip/Materia allowed and the other thing is that I keep the initial weapon for that normal/special attack balance! Also, I keep low level but not as low as possible, just low enough to keep a bit of challenge (considering physical attacks remain low and characters have class restrictions)... Playing with this setup could be some degree of achievement in an harder Final Fantasy, but VII is especially easy!

[Greatermaximus]

Topic worthy - knowing when to quit. I found a reasonable amount of stuff. I must have posted it before. Don't need to find everything because it sits pointlessly in a file.

[Mercen-X]

Going nearly 4 years without playing it. Trust me, that's an achievement.

In-game:
Filling my stables with Rank S Gold Chocobos, dashing past Zolom without a Chocobo (skipping the farm altogether), Obtaining Leviathan, Typoon, KotR, Omnislash and W-Summon, Aeris' Parasol and Cid's Flayer, Mastering E.Skill, Having Sex with Aeris and Tifa, Recruiting Reno and Rude, and performing Omnislash V6

Obviously those last three are jokes. Obtaining that Parasol AND Flayer was definitely tedious. As I recall, you had to get over 5000 points for each. But as the points don't reset, it becomes insanely difficult to win the Flayer after obtaining the Parasol if you won with too high a score. If you manage to hit everything including the UFO at the end, then only the rotating paddles on the Ferry can alter your score by a multiple of 1.
