Equips "Sense" command
Description
Sense is a Command Materia in Final Fantasy VII equipped to provide the ability Sense, which displays the HP, MP, and elemental weakness of an enemy, provided its HP is lower than 30,000. This allows the player to plan their strategy around an enemy. Sense is also provided by the Master Command Materia.
Obtained[]
Sense is first found in the Sector 6 playground following the battle at the Sector 7 Support Pillar, during "Aeris's Secret" chapter. Later, when Red XIII joins the party, it is already equipped for him. After this, Sense can be purchased at Junon before the party gains the Highwind, and in Kalm.

Use[]
The Sense Materia provides the Sense command, which has its own slot. It does not come with stat changes.
Sense will display the HP, MP, and any elemental weaknesses of an enemy with a max HP lower than 30,000. After being used, the HP of the enemy will be visible in the [ASSIST] text. This ability can be especially helpful for planning around how to defeat an enemy and which skills are best against it.
Sense can be paired with many Support Materia. Pairing it with Added Cut or Steal as well allows the player to make more use of a turn in which Sense is used, but most other Support Materia when paired with Sense have little value.
Sense can be used to determine when the enemy's health is low enough to be morphed. Sense can be useful for determining Chocobos' levels for learning Chocobuckle and for using Goblin Punch, which does incredible damage if the user and the enemy are on the same level.
The following enemies are immune to Sense: Master Tonberry, Tonberry (Battle Square only), Unknown 3 (Battle Square only), Vlakorados, Diamond Weapon, Jamar Armor (Battle Square), Turks:Elena Lifeform-Hojo N, Proud Clod, Jenova∙SYNTHESIS (main body only) Bizarro∙Sephiroth, Safer∙Sephiroth, Ultimate Weapon, Emerald Weapon, Ruby Weapon (Final Fantasy VII), and Ruby's Tentacle.
