Hyper is a restorative healing item in Final Fantasy VII that cures the Sadness status, and when used on a character not under Sadness, will inflict Fury status instead. Sadness halves the rate a character's Limit gauge fills, but the afflicted will take 30% less damage in general. Fury makes the Limit gauge fill fast, but the afflicted will miss their attacks more often.

Use[]
The Hyper is a rarely used item, as the Sadness status does not occur often. In addition, the Sadness status, while it reduces the rate at which the Limit Gauge fills, reduces damage by 30%. The main use of the Hyper is to grant Fury to the player to increase the rate of which the Limit Gauge fills at the tradeoff of taking more damage and lowered accuracy. If the player is equipped with the Ribbon, they cannot grant Fury to that character.
Using Hypers on enemies is the way to make them miss their attacks, as Darkness from Ink will have no effect. Hypers cannot normally be given to enemies, but if a character chooses to use a Hyper, but is then immediately confused, they will use the Hyper on the enemy party instead.
