A charm imbued with the fervent desire to be by one's side for eternity.
Description
Crescent Moon Charm is an accessory in Final Fantasy VII Remake that reduces damage taken when equipped by non-active characters.
Obtained[]
Crescent Moon Charm is obtained from the quests "Alone at Last" (unlocked by doing all odd jobs in Chapter 3, "Home Sweet Slum") and "A Verified Hero".
It is also the 20,000 points reward in the Whack-a-Box, available to play in the kids' hideout in the Sector 5 Slums.
Use[]
Crescent Moon Charm reduces damage on AI-controlled party members by ~20%. Crescent Moon Charm could be useful on characters the player is not controlling much in battle, such as Barret in a tanking role with Lifesaver. However, the battle system encourages frequent character-swapping, the enemies also focusing on the manually played character, so the AI-controlled characters are targeted less, anyway. The player could just equip an accessory that boosts 
Vitality or 
Spirit, and/or 
Steadfast Block Materia, as the characters the player is not using guard a lot.
Behind the scenes[]
Tifa Lockhart wears a crescent moon charm for an earring in her "mature" dress for Wall Market. It was already part of her design in the original Final Fantasy VII. 
Cloud gets the crescent moon charm from Marle if he does all odd jobs around the Sector 7 slums. Cloud's charm is shown opening to the left in the inventory, but the earring that Tifa wears opens to the right; they could be halves of the same pair.

The Crescent Moon Charm is Avalanche's Tifa's Super Trust Moogle reward. It offers +82 ATK, +48 to both DEF and SPR, and the Null Charm ability. When equipped to versions of Tifa and Cloud, it activates an ability exclusive to these units named Wish to Stay Close, which offers +500 to HP, ATK, DEF and SPR, and an increase of 50% to these units' Limit Burst damage.
Etymology[]
In art and symbolism, a crescent is the shape produced when a circular disk has a segment of another circle removed from its edge so that what remains is a shape enclosed by two circular arcs of different diameters which intersect at two points (usually in such a manner that the enclosed shape does not include the center of the original circle). In astronomy, a crescent is the shape of the lit side of a spherical body (most notably the Moon) that appears to be less than half illuminated by the Sun as seen by the viewer.
The word crescent is derived from the present participle of the Latin verb crescere, "to grow", and was originally applied to the form of the waxing moon.
