The Mako energy suffusing the Planet and giving it life, the Lifestream runs in currents beneath the Planet's surface. All life born on the Planet is born out of the Lifestream, and when they die their energy returns to it, keeping the Planet alive. If any unfortunate being should fall into the Lifestream, the Mako poisoning that will follow will most likely leave them broken and mindless. In the present day, the Lifestream is filled with the Planet's cries of agony, as the Shinra use Mako Reactors to suck out its very life.

A Limit Break is a special "desperation" attack, much more powerful than a regular physical attack. When a character's limit gauge is filled after taking enough damage, the Attack command changes and they can unleash one of these instead. Each character has their own unique Limit Breaks which can be learned by using the ones they already know and by defeating enough enemies.

A Limit Break is a special "desperation" attack, much more powerful than a regular physical attack.

A bar reflecting how close a character is to reaching Limit Break. This rises whenever they take damage, but is reset to 0 should they be KO'ed. Their current Limit level determines how much this bar needs filling, but it can be sped up and slowed down by Fury and Sadness respectively.

Each character's Limit Breaks are divided up into levels. Most have four, but Cait Sith has only two. Cait Sith and Vincent also have only one Limit Break per level, while the others have two. Higher levels have more powerful commands, but require more damage to fill the limit gauge. Limit levels two and three can be learned by defeating enough enemies, but the fourth requires using a special item unique to each person.
