Ribbon is an accessory in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. One of the more useful protective accessories in the game, it protects Zack from most negative statuses. This makes it very slot-efficient as well as very protective.
In addition to Ribbon, Crisis Core has the Super Ribbon accessory, which also provides protection against Death attacks.
Obtained[]
Ribbon is obtained as a reward for completing "M5-4-6: Experiment No. 124", stolen from the Gaea Malboro, and through the level 5 version of Item Mugger.
Use[]
Immunity to the majority of statuses makes a significant number of missions easier, due to the hindering impact that statuses can have on Zack. As such, the accessory is very important to acquire. Due to its timeframe of availability however, a more accessible tactic is to purchase or create Hell- attack magic materia and Status Ward materia, allowing Zack to be immune to the more common and debilitating status effects he may come across.
The Ribbon is outclassed by Super Ribbon and Genji Shield, which also protect against Instant Death as well. When one of these are obtained, the Ribbon can be retired as to the player's discretion.
When used in Materia Fusion, one is used to increase SPR by 1. This should only be done if the Ribbon is ever in abundance for the player.
