Throughout the course of Final Fantasy 7 Remakeplayers can collect six weapons for each playable character, all of which can be upgraded by spending skill points (SP). Doing so will raise the base stats of each weapon, increase the number of material slots available, and even provide passive buffs to their wielder. Along with unique attack commands and Limit Breaks, weapons also come with special abilities that can be learned permanently if players spend time mastering them.
Cloud is the de facto leader of the party, whose greatest strength is his versatility. With the second highest HP and MP pools, his stats are balanced, and he fits well as a damage dealer or spellcaster, depending on how players want to use him. As a melee fighter, Cloud uses broadswords and has the added advantage of being able to hit targets in a wide radius. Players can also switch between two stances during battles: Operator and Punisher. The former uses Cloud's more balanced fighting style, while the latter greatly reduces his speed for heavier damage and the ability to counter melee attacks.
