Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthgives players a long list of Materia to equip on their characters and use in battle.Most Materiagives an additional spell or ability while others give passive stat boosts. Better weapons and armor can be found for each party member with most of them offering more Materia slots to choose from.
Most spell Materia are damage-focused and give players the ability to hit an enemy’s weakness and stagger them but more supportive options are just as helpful.
