The best accessories in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

By

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is filled with baddies to take out, so you’ll need to be as prepared as possible when it’s time to face off against them. As such, you’ll be updating your equipment frequently throughout your adventure to apply upgraded pieces of gear. In addition to weapons and bangles, you can equip each character with a single accessory to customize their skill set in battle, and it’s worth swapping these out occasionally depending on the upcoming fight.

Though the best accessory for each character will largely depend on how you’ve built them and what role you have them playing in your party, there are still some accessories that we feel are generally useful and tend to be worth keeping around to make battles go more smoothly.

Note that many of the accessories below are not available until late in the game, so we’ve included their lesser counterparts so you can make sure you keep them around until they become upgradeable.

Safety Bit

Safety Bit is an immensely useful accessory that grants immunity to some of the game’s most detrimental status effects: Instant Death, Stone, and Petrify. Always equip these to at least one or two characters when entering into a battle against foes who regularly apply these status effects to make your life much, much easier.

Full-Throttle Wristguards

Full Throttle Wristguards are the best accessory for characters who are going heavy on physical damage, as it grants them 10% strength alongside an extra 500 HP to aid in getting up close and personal. If you haven’t reached the point where you can upgrade to this yet, go for some Power Wristguards or Hi-Power Wristguards in the meantime.

Riot Vest

Riot Vest sports a 10% vitality increase alongside an extra 500 HP, making it a fantastic choice for tanky characters who stay in the thick of it and soak up damage while teammates unleash hell. A Bulletproof Vest or Survival Vest will do a pinch while you wait to reach a point in the game where this higher-tier option becomes available.

Sorcerer’s Earrings

Sorcerer’s Earrings are the best choice for characters focused on magic damage thanks to a substantial 10% magic power increase and extra 6 MP. However, as it’s a late-game item, don’t sleep on its lower-end cousins, Earrings or Platinum Earrings, in the meantime.

Healing Materia Earrings

Healing Materia Earrings allow you to use Cure, Cura, and Curaga without taking up a materia slot with a Healing materia. This can be helpful for your primary healer/buffer character, particularly if you’re using other gear that limits their available materia slots or have them decked out with other important materia and can’t spare a slot.

Revival Earrings

Revival Earrings grant a character one use of Auto-Life, meaning that they’ll be automatically revived upon death. However, the accessory will break after use, so it’s really best suited for incredibly challenging encounters with enemies who use abilities like Doom. It shouldn’t be kept on anyone long-term.

All Cactuar Capers locations in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is overflowing with fun ways to interact with its world, many of which are minigames that task you with completing challenging objectives or winning games. One of the more laid-back of these minigames is Cactuar Capers, which you'll have to complete when trying to earn some beachwear in Costa Del Sol. This scavenger hunt will send you to take photos of pink Cactuars that have been painted on various objects around the town. In this guide, we'll tell you how Cactuar Capers works and where to find all of the pink Cactuars so you can get to the beach in style.
All Cactuar Capers locations
There are four pink Cactuars to find in Costa Del Sol during the Cactuar Capers scavenger hunt, and they're scattered throughout the town in various spots — with some more cleverly hidden than others. You'll need to find all four of them to complete Cactuar Capers, which can be a bit of a hassle since all you have in your possession to help with that is a map that gives you general locations.

Luckily, the Shinra executive you're teamed up with will be nearby each of the pink Cactuars commenting on how they must be in that area somewhere. This will help you discern where to look, though our photos further down below will show you precisely where the pink Cactuars are hiding.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: all zipline Refurbishment Material locations

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is overflowing with content, including a wide variety of side quests to undertake as you work through its 50+ hour adventure. Some of these are given to you by returning characters, such as the lovable screwup, Johnny, who has found himself entangled in a whole new mess this time around.

After finishing up some of the main story content in Costa Del Sol, Johnny will eventually task you with seeking out his clones in the Corel Region, who will grant you a quest called "The Saga of the Seaside Inn." To complete this mission at its highest tier and earn its best rewards, you'll need to round up eight Refurbishment Materials left near ziplines in the area, so check below for their locations.
Where to find all the zipline Refurbishment Materials
The two Johnnys will send you on a mission to find eight Refurbishment Materials scattered across the Corel Region near ziplines. However, it's worth noting that all these materials are found exclusively at the top of the ziplines, never at the bottom, meaning you'll need to keep an eye out above you to find them all. Luckily, we've got a map below showing you the location of each of these zipline starting points, and you can find the Refurbishment Materials in plain sight next to them.
