Can you overflow with a frog?
Someone asked me this question a few days ago. Let's find out.
The Frog status makes all physical attacks do 25% of base damage.
Info on the overflow glitch from Xenomic's glitch FAQ:
There are two main dangers where overflow can occur. The first is right at the start where your Base Damage is applied to both the Power of the attack and the enemy's Defense. If this damage goes above 262,144 damage, an overflow will occur.
The second danger occurs right when Random Variance is worked out which is after all the things like Berserk, Frog, Critical Hits and the like have been added. If the damage before Random Variance goes above a random value from 524288 to 559094, the damage will overflow.
If the damage overflows (and assuming that it doesn't overflow by enough to go back into positive numbers again - that *can* happen with low enough Defense and high enough Power/Hero Drinks), the damage will be negative.
Negative damage is not the same as positive healing. Negative damage makes FF7 think: "Oh, you did so much damage that his HP overflowed and he now has more HP than before the attack. I'd better fix that." Instant death.
