Final Fantasy 7 Remake maintains one of the best features of a Final Fantasy game; limit breaks.
All four playable characters – Cloud, Tifa, Barret and Aerith will be able to use limit breaks during battles.
They are basically overpowered attacks / buffs when your limit gauge is full.
Here’s how you can unlock all of the limit breaks in FF7 Remake.
Limit breaks for each character
Below are the limit breaks each character will get in the game.
Barret
- Fire In The Hole
- Catastrophe
Cloud
- Cross Slash
- Ascension
Tifa
- Somersault
- Dolphin Flurry
Aerith
- Healing Wind (restores party’s HP)
- Planet’s Protection (nullify physical damage made to party)
How to unlock the second limit break for each character
To get the second limit break in the game, you need to reach Chapter 9 first.
In this chapter, you’ll reach Wall Market and you will be introduced to the Corneo Colosseum during the story.
As part of the story, you will need to take on some matches together with Aerith.
After the story matches, you will unlock optional matches that you can take part in.
To unlock all the limit breaks for each character, you basically need to win the following matches:
- Cloud vs. Wild Animals – unlocks Ascension
- Barret vs. Wild Animals – unlocks Catastrophe
- Tifa vs. Wild Animals – unlocks Dolphin Flurry
- Aerith vs. Wild Animals – unlocks Planet’s Protection
To do the Barret and Tifa matches, you need to come back to the Colosseum in Chapter 14.
