Name
The type of terrain where this encounter may be found
Terrain
The higher the terrain's safety rating, the less often you will fight encounters there
Safety
There are several encounter tables in a given area, each with its own encounters; you have a chance to fight an encounter of any given type, and this chance can be modified by certain materia; if no special encounter type is chosen, a Normal Battle will be fought; note that while this usually matches the encounter type, there are exceptions to this rule (e.g., a Back Attack in a Normal Battle slot or vice-versa); Chocobo Lure battles are only fought while on chocobo tracks with a Chocobo Lure materia equipped; only one Mystery Ninja encounter is available at any given time, based on the party's level, and only if Yuffie has not joined the party
Slot Type
How common this encounter is for its slot type; each encounter is out of 256; for Chocobo Lure encounters, these values are for a Meet Chocobos value of 8, and increase proportionally for higher values to a maximum of ×4 at Meet Chocobos 32
Frequency

Level
EXP

Gil
In a pincer attack, your party is surrounded; in a side attack, your party surrounds the enemies; in a back attack, the enemy attacks from behind
Type
Whether pre-emptive strikes are possible in this encounter; pre-emptive strikes are only possible during normal battles, and are disabled during any set encounter on a map with no random encounters, even if the encounter would normally allow them; there are no pre-emptive strikes in the battle square
Pre-emptive?
A factor indicating how hard it is to run from a battle; for example, it will generally take twice as long to run from a battle with a ×2 run difficulty than one with a ×1 run difficulty
Run Difficulty
The specific monsters that appear in this encounter; a dagger (†) indicates that one or more of the marked monsters have cover, meaning that they cannot be attacked until certain monsters in closer rows have been defeated

Gil
The rate of Steal success per item by a character of equal level to the monster; these rates will change based on the level difference between the Stealing character and the monster; hover over a percentage to see the base rate (which is based on being 10 levels higher than the monster); this rate is multiplied by 80%±2% per level difference; only one item can be stolen, so an increase in level may in some cases decrease the effective Steal rate of items later in the list
Steal
A monster will never drop an item if an item was Stolen from it during the battle; only monsters present in the final battle of a multi-battle sequence may drop items
