The following is a list of status effects in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Spells and items can be used to apply beneficial status effects, also referred to in-game as "buffs", while many negative status ailments can be applied by enemies or the party. Negative statuses can be healed using abilities from the cleansing materia.
Beneficial status effects are marked by blue icons, while negative status ailments are marked by red. Status ailments with a yellow icon can have a positive or negative effect, depending on the situation.
