Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Unpacking the Mysterious Materia

By Streamers Visuals

Within the realm of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a plethora of magical orbs are scattered, known as materia. Each orb has a unique function, from granting new attack spells, healing or reviving abilities, to buffing your party or debuffing your opponents. However, three specific materia orbs can initially seem less useful, as they swap two different stats on a character.

Understanding the Materia Swaps

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth introduces three such materia. One swaps hit points and magic points, another interchanges physical and magic attack values, and the last one switches physical defense for magic defense. Let's delve into where you can find these orbs and how they can be utilized.

HP⇔MP Materia

Considered as one of the most peculiar materia orbs in Rebirth is the HP⇔MP Materia. It swaps your HP and MP values. The question arises, why would anyone use this when character’s HP typically reaches thousands while MP values barely touch the low hundreds? The answer lies in open world exploration and World Intel tasks.

The more you engage in fights within the game, the more likely you are to run low on MP and HP as you recover health from fights and burn MP to heal yourself. This is where HP⇔Materia comes in. Equip this to a character not in your active battle party, preferably someone with a high amount of hit points along with healing materia.

If you're far enough in the game, this will result in a character with an MP value in the thousands, making them an excellent default healer outside of battles, saving you from frequent trips to rest stops. The HP ⇔ MP Materia can be found at the mako fountain in Mt. Nibel.

ATK⇔MATK Materia

The ATK⇔MATK materia swaps a character’s Attack and Magic Attack values. This can be a great way to enhance a character who’s strong in magic attacks in physical attacks, and vice versa. The ATK⇔MATK materia can be located on the fourth floor of the Ventilation Control Room in Shinra Manor.

VIT⇔SPR Materia

The VIT⇔SPR materia is another quick and efficient way to switch your character's stats around. This materia swaps a character's Vitality and Spirit values, allowing you to customize your characters even further.

Final Thoughts

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a vast game with many variables. The materia orbs provide a unique way to customize your characters and strategize your gameplay. So, don't disregard the swapping materia orbs. They might just be the game-changer you need.
