Hidden (Final Fantasy VII)

The following article is based on a subject that has not been officially named in any official Square Enix material; the current title is merely a placeholder.

Hidden is a secret Element that is given to several attacks in Final Fantasy VII. There is no definite way to see this element except by the use of equipping an Elemental Materia with a non-elemental materia (Long Range) in a character's armor. Many Materia are also classified with this element. The only attack that deals damage from this attribute (and thus is the only attack that can be absorbed) is Ultimate Weapon's Ultima Beam. Also, note that all of Aeris's Limit Breaks have this attribute as well.
