Can I keep a limit break for later?
I have filled up my limit break. How exciting! Flashy colors! I can now deal serious damage! Wow!
...but I'd rather not use it on that enemy that would go down regardless. In particular the menu screen speaks about multiple "limit break levels," so it seems that it should be possible to save those up for boss fights and rainy days.
What can I do to not use up my limit now?
Best Answer
No, you cannot save your Limit Breaks unless you are prepared to only fight with magic or items for the duration. In both cases, you end up using a finite resource (MP or items) while also stalling the limit meter recharge, so its not very useful in general.
Note that many characters need to keep using their limit breaks for each level to unlock an alternate one (e.g. Braver / Cross-Slash). You will be better off to use limit breaks asap to progress in the unlocking and have more options.
If you know there is a boss battle coming up then it may be worth fighting with magic or items for a short while (so that you start boss fight with multiple charged limit breaks). Keep in mind that the level 1 breaks charge up really fast, while level 3 or 4 is far slower - you don't want to stall on level 1 limits when they will be up in a short time anyway.
Re. the menu showing multiple levels for each limit break - these cannot be charged concurrently, you have to select one and then charge it from empty (e.g. for Cloud, you can't charge Meteorain, switch to Cross-Slash for random battles, and then switch back before boss fight expecting meter to be full).

Can you save a Limit Break ff7?
You cannot choose to use your limit break or not. It's you use it or you use magics or items (or skip to another character). No other choices for this game. I only "save" a limit when it would take longer to defeat the enemy by watching the limit animation than by attacking it.How can I increase my Limit Break fast?
The more damage you take, and the more you stagger enemies, the more likely you'll be able to do a Limit Break soon. Also, be on the lookout for Accessories that help you fill your Limit Break gauge, and weapon Skills (which you choose when upgrading a weapon) that will boost Limit Break gauge buildup.How do limit breaks work in ff7?

Answer 2
You can defend and let Barret finish the enemy, you can kill it with magic, you can run, or you can kill the enemy with an item. You cannot use the ATTACK command with Cloud.
Answer 3
Yea you can constantly have cloud either use magic, defend, item, or change position if you want to save your limit break for a particular battle. and if you go to a save point and save with an unused limit break you can come back to the game and it will still be there. However you can not use the attack command. This really only has an advantage if you know there is a boss coming up shortly. Best bet is to use your limit breaks like others have said s your will learn new ones. If you have a hyper use that on your characters to change your character's status to fury. This will cause your limit bar to fill up more rapidly.
