Materia Blade

The Materia Blade (マテリアブレード) is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It appears in every Tactics game so far. The Blade is a reference to Materia from Final Fantasy VII, though no such weapon ever appears in that title or its subsequent Compilation. The blade itself, while references Materia, may also represent Cloud's Ultima Weapon, as the blade has a small black like tint to it in the center, just like that of the Ultima Weapon in Final Fantasy VII where the blade has the purple tint in the blade.

Final Fantasy Tactics
In Final Fantasy Tactics, Cloud Strife must equip this weapon in order to use his Limit Break attacks. It can be found at the top of Bervenia Volcano by using a Chemist's Treasure Hunter ability.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance


In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, it is a rare Blade-type weapon that teaches Bangaa Gladiators Ultima Sword and Mog Knights Ultima Charge. It has an Attack of 27, which makes learning said abilities a hard task. It can be obtained by stealing it off the Mog Knight in Mission #20: Present Day (however, it is a random steal and the Mog Knight's initial weapon must be stolen for the Materia Blade to appear) and as a reward for a "Town-Town-Forest-Forest" Treasure Hunt. The weapon also provides +15 Magic and +10 Resistance.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
In this spin-off, the Materia Blade returns as a rare blade that teaches Gladiators and Moogle Knights their ultimate abilities. Unlike the previous appearance, the Materia Blade is the most powerful Blade in this game, providing +58 Attack, +15 Magick, and +10 Resistance, and can be bought for 12,000 gil in the shop after creating it in the Bazaar after using a Mythril, Hero's Tonic, and Demon Feather.
