Clouds weapons concept

Concept art of some of Cloud's weapons.

This is a list of weapons that appear in Final Fantasy VII. They are listed in the order they appear in the menu if sorted by type.

The costs displayed here are the buy prices. Not all weapons can be bought in stores and sell prices are calculated as half the buy price. Some weapons cannot be sold at all.

All characters have at least two weapons with double Materia growth. It is also possible to find one weapon with no Materia slots for each character; those can be considered "joke weapons" due to their unusual models, such as Cloud's Nail Bat, Cid's Mop, and Aeris' Umbrella. However, they're usually far more powerful than the weapons the party can access at that given point. All ultimate weapons, except for Aeris's Princess Guard, have zero Materia growth. Each ultimate weapon has a unique damage formula.

List of weapons[]

Cloud's broadswords[]

FFVII Sword Icon

Barret's gun-arms[]

FFVII Gunarm Icon

Barret's default weapon, the Gatling Gun, cannot be sold or thrown. Most of Barret's weapons are long-range, meaning they can hit enemies that are "out of reach" and do the same damage in the back row as in the front row.

Tifa's knuckles[]

FFVII Glove Icon

Tifa's gloves cannot be thrown with the Throw command. Most of her weapons give bonus critical. A couple of her weapons have unique damage formulae and deal more damage the more status ailments Tifa is afflicted with.

Aeris's staves[]

FFVII Staff Icon

Aeris is more geared toward magic use and is in the back row by default, making the number of Materia slots the important factors over Attack Power, though she has one weapon that can make her the party's strongest attacker by the time it is first obtained (Striking Staff).

Red XIII's headdresses[]

FFVII Hairpin Icon

One of his weapons, the Hairpin, is long range, and another one, Seraph Comb, cannot be sold. Red XIII's weapons are not visible in battle and there are no models for them in-game. His weapons cannot be thrown with the Throw command, likely due to the lack of models.

Cait Sith's megaphones[]

Cait Sith's weapons are not used to actually strike an enemy, but to command his Mog, but their Attack Power stat still counts toward the damage dealt. The weapons thus also have the Hit element, rather than the Shout element.

Sephiroth's longswords[]

Sephiroth is only ever seen using one weapon, the Masamune. The player cannot obtain the weapon; it is only used by Sephiroth in the Nibelheim flashback. An item called "Masamune Blade" can be won at the Speed Square, however, it is just an extra, technically not even a weapon. The Masamune Blade is a replica of Sephiroth's sword, and cannot be equipped by any character.

Other appearances[]

Many of the weapons in Final Fantasy VII reappeared in spinoff titles as weapons used by characters in those appearances.

Two of Cloud's weapons, the Buster Sword and his version of Ultima Weapon (as the first Ultima Weapon was introduced in Final Fantasy VI), have appeared in boss battles in other titles, alluding to Final Fantasy VII. Notably, Cloud's Ultima Weapon is wielded by the Final Fantasy VIII boss Ultima Weapon, and the Buster Sword was wielded by Gilgamesh in Final Fantasy XII,

The Final Fantasy VII Remake weapons are largely a collection of weapons from Final Fantasy VII, with updated names, and with a new weapons system.

Behind the scenes[]

The Final Fantasy VII rendition of the Scimitar appears not as a sword, but as one of Cid's lance-type weapons more akin to a Guan Dao. This is because in the original Japanese version, the weapon was not named "Scimitar" but Seiryuu Engetsutou (青龍偃月刀), or Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the famous Guan Dao wielded by Guan Yu. Similarly, "Viper Halberd" is named after Zhang Fei's "Jahoko" (蛇矛) and "Flayer" is named after Lu Bu's "Houtengageki" (方天画戟).
