I had the bottom second glitch happen to me multiple times. It was usually Cloud learning Meteorain without learning Clim Hazzard. When I learned about the requirements about the limits, I thought I just wasn't doing it right, but it didn't make sense because I got into so many battles and Cloud never died. I've also experienced getting Yuffie's second level limit without getting Clear Tranquil.

Every day, there's a new reason uncovered for why VII SHOULD F-ING BE REMADE. All you who deny it, should shut the hell up!
