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.
All status effects, whether they're beneficial or ailments, have a set duration. Certain weapon upgrades can increase the duration of beneficial effects and reduce the duration of ailments.

ability is Bubble Breath. This sends slow-moving projectiles that cause minimal damage, but can make opponents flinch. Characters under Toad are capable of using items, and using a maiden's kiss item can cure toad, as can using Esuna from another character.
Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith in toad status.
Toad can only be afflicted on the player characters by three enemies: Sahagin and Sahagin Prince through Salientian Curse and Harpoon Hurl, and Malboro through Bad Breath. The accessory called Enfeeblement Ring also puts the wearer in a permanent Toad status, only really useful for potential challenge runs.
Each character has a unique model when afflicted by the Toad status effect, such as Cloud having a tiny Buster Sword on his back, Aerith having a small pink bow on her head, Tifa being a black and white colored toad and Barret being a brown toad with sunglasses.

during combos while in Punisher Mode.
