Dude, you're better than me. I completed most everything but Emerald and Ruby Weapon. I tried, I honestly did... but complete phail. So I just gave up and went on with my life.
For awhile, I was super obsessed with chocobo breeding. To the point where my husband became concerned. There was an intervention... I don't want to talk about it anymore. *weeps*
My friend, David, managed to find a way to get and keep one of his characters stuck in the 'Lucky 7' mode and that's how he beat Emerald. I'm not so sure how he did it. And I watched him do it... Anyway, it was pretty cool.
Oooh, every last little dingly side-questy thing too? I always got carried away with the choco racing (final breeding pair named Seph and Aeris, always =3) and never actually knocked off emerald weapon. I've been wanting to do a replay, it's been years and I kinda want to reconnect with the roots, so to speak. I did pack my pc version with me...
On the materia thing, I did one full playthrough before I found that. A headdesky moment if there ever was one. I do adore Cid though. If circumstances had been different when I first played I might not be wild about him either but he cracks me up instead of tripping alarms. Cait did get some brogue-spouting kitty moments in DoC but I guess I've always been more interested in the guy behind the zipper mog. I don't think I really thought your Aeris was too much like Tifa, maybe because I always figured Aer would do for Seph what Tifa did for Cloud.
Well, ok, I didn't find the six posters for that one Wutaian restaurant. Cheerful Tortoise. So maybe there were some leftover sidequesty things that I missed

That Forrest Gump run is one of the best things about Cid. I was so glad to see the little bit of it in AC! Run, Highwind, run! From the start he reminded me terribly of my choir mistress, since I first played in high school and was a dedicated little choral girl throughout. She was the same way with the yelling and the screaming and the constant put-downs and a dose of overall weirdness. It was clear that was just her cracked-ass way of dealing the world and it became a game to see how hard we could make her head spin and how fast... Thinking back on it, her shrieking may have been fairly justified. >_>
I think I downloaded the Scorpius patch to play as Zack a while back. I've been contemplating the replay for a while. Ah, no matter how much time you have to waste, it's never enough, is it? :P Last time I played, I only went partway. Got hung up on trying to see how many All materia I could master to go rolling in the dough, and then life cut in.
I Love Final Attack + Phoenix! I actually thought about drawing something for that combo, because in my opinion there simply isn't enough fanart devoted to materia combos.
Another totally awesome one was Added Effect (I think it was added effect) + contain. That one rocked because every now and then an enemy would just freeze and die when I was hitting it.
I never really mastered the differences between the characters...

But life is a good thing to get on with. Rather a crappy thing to miss, actually.
I wouldn't have beat the weapons if there hadn't been buko hints and tips posted online. And still, my first few tries with Emerald=instant death.
