Defense+, also known as Vitality+, is a recurring support ability in the Final Fantasy series. It typically increases the Defense stat by a fixed percentage or amount.
Appearances[]
Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-[]
Three variations of Vitality+ exists. The VIT UP materia is a Rank 1 independent materia that provides 1-2 Defense per level up to +9, and can be obtained either as the reward for completing Mission 3-1-4, stolen from Vajradhara Cala or Vajradhara Rakshasa, or bought from the Sector 5 Materia Shop for 1,000 gil. VIT UP+ is a Rank 3 materia that provides 2-3 Defense per level up to +12, and can be found during Mission 8-4-6. VIT UP++ is a Rank 5 materia that provides 3-4 Defense per level up to +19, and can be obtained as the reward for completing Mission 8-5-2 or found during Mission 8-3-6.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth[]
Vitality Up materia is a 
Complete Materia that increases the user's 
Vitality (in turn increasing their 
Defense, and thus their physical defense) by a percentage based the materia's level. Vitality Up materia can in theory stack up to a max of 100% up, but only two of the materia can be obtained. Vitality Up materia would contribute toward 
Spirit instead if the same character also has VIT⇔SPR Materia.
Final Fantasy VIII[]
The physical defensive stat is called "Vitality". Vit+20% is learned for 60 AP from Shiva and Carbuncle, or can be taught to any GF through the use of the Turtle Shell. Vit+40% can be learned for 120 AP from the previous GFs after learning Vit+20%, and taught to any GF through the use of the Orihalcon. Vit+60% can only be taught to a GF through Adamantine. Vit Bonus is initially learned on Cactuar and learned for 100 AP on Carbuncle, and unlike the +% abilities, will permanently raise Vitality by 1 upon leveling up with the ability equipped.
Final Fantasy X[]
Four variations of Defense +% are available to the player, and can all be found on various dropped armor. Defense +3% can be customized onto an armor by using Power Sphere x3, and adds 200 gil to the armor's sell value. Defense +5% can be customized by using Stamina Spring x2, and adds 500 gil to the armor's sell value. Defense +10% can be customized by using Special Sphere x1, and adds 5,000 gil to the armor's sell value. Defense +20% can be customized by using Blessed Gem x4, and adds 10,000 gil to the armor's sell value.
