Just to make one final note of clarification, I did some digging and found exactly what was changed in the american release of FF7 from the Japan release. This is fact:
-The materia exchange system was added.
-The use of the select button to display screen exits and interactive points was added.
-Emerald and ruby weapon were added, because weapons that were mentioned never appeared in the original version.
-The entire zack flashback Nibelhiem sequence was added.
-Enemy encounter rates were reduced in all areas.
-Finally Jenova boss sequences and Sephiroth boss sequences were made more difficult, the reason is obvious.
Just as some DYK: Sephiroth's name comes from the Kaballah and represents a perfect state of self awareness and the highest level of the spiritual plane of which I believe there are nine levels.
