I have a number of resources I use, particularly whenever I write for Final Fantasy VII, as the canon is … convoluted, to say the least. In an effort to clean up my references folder, I've compiled a list of my favorite outside references for Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII. (Scripts, Summaries, Ultimania Translations, Fan Analyses)
