Here are some essential tips that will help you get more Gil in FF7 Remake.

1. Battles - you get a certain amount of Gil for defeating enemies. Of course, the harder the enemies, the greater the reward. You get the most Gil for bosses and stronger optional enemies in the later chapters of the game.
2. The locations in the game are very linear, but occasionally you can reach hidden barrels, which often have additional items and Gil. It is worth exploring locations to get a little more money.
3. In Chapters 16 and 17, complete a Two-Person Team vs High Flyers in Shinra Tower VR to win Gil Up Materia. It increases the number of Gil received from battles by 100%. This Materia is perfect for grinding!
4. You can also use Steal command during fights to steal valuable items from enemies, especially bosses. This will sometimes allow you to steal a nice amount of Gil.
5. You can sell excess items to traders - if you have accessories, etc. that aren't useful anymore, sell them. Sometimes you can also pick up items that can only be sold.
6. You can get a lot of money by replaying chapters on Hard. Not getting enough Gil seems to be a problem only during the first playthrough and only sometimes.
