Final Fantasy 7 Remake: All of Cloud’s Weapons, Locations & Abilities

In Final Fantasy 7 Remake, each character can collect and upgrade six different weapons using skill points (SP). Upgrading weapons improves their core stats, adds more materia slots, and grants passive benefits to the character using them. Each weapon also has unique attack commands, Limit Breaks, and special abilities that players can permanently unlock by mastering them.

Cloud is the main character and a very adaptable fighter. He has a lot of health and magical power, making him effective as both a physical attacker and a spellcaster – players can choose how to play him. In battle, Cloud uses broadswords and can hit multiple enemies at once. He also has two different fighting styles: Operator, which is well-rounded, and Punisher, which sacrifices speed for stronger attacks and the ability to deflect close-range attacks.

Here’s how to find all of Cloud’s weapons in FF7 Remake Intergrade!
