In FF7 Rebirth, as in the original game, there are many Materia that players can use throughout their adventure. One of these is the FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia. In the original game, the name was different, but it has practically the same function: the effects of the spells will be used against all enemies, not just one of them.
What is FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia?
Those who played the original game will surely remember the presence of All Materia, a particular type of Materia that allowed all those that were equipped in a joined socket to inflict damage or benefits on all enemies and allies present in the fight. It was a very interesting and important addition in some situations of the game, since most of the Materia was able to affect only one target at a time.
Consequently, if you wanted to deal damage to multiple enemies at the same time, the only solution was to cast the spell over and over again. Obviously, in certain circumstances, this technique was certainly not the most effective and this is why All Materia came into play. Furthermore, it did not use extra MP, but the power of the orbs was an indication of how many times this effect could be used in a battle.
The FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia has practically the same functionality. So, all you have to do is equip this orb into a linked Materia socket with another green orb and you will be able to use spells on everyone on the battlefield. However, there are some changes compared to the main version.
Since this is a very powerful move, the developers decided to revisit it a little. Now, there is no longer a limit to using this feature during battle, but its effectiveness has been significantly reduced. Below are the percentages for each level:
- Level 1: -60%
- Level 2: -45%
- Level 3: -25%
As a result, we can say that when the FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia is found at the first level, it is not as useful as it was in the main game. Both the amount of damage and those related to bonuses for your party members are so negligible that one wonders whether or not it is actually useful to use this Materia.
Things change, of course, as you increase the level. At level 2, in fact, although the effectiveness is not yet so impressive, it certainly begins to be more useful than before. When it reaches level 3, we can say that we have an ace up our sleeve that we can use at any time to have a strong advantage in the fight.
All FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia Locations
Now that you know roughly what the FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia is and how it works, the time has come to know where you can find it. Let’s start by saying that it is a truly rare resource, in fact there are only three in the whole game. Fortunately, however, none of the three will be difficult to obtain, so fear not.
You will receive the first automatically during the first chapter of FF7 Rebirth. However, you should know that since this is the beginning of the game, you won’t actually be able to do anything with this orb. You will have to wait until you reach the ninth chapter of the game and for Cait Sith to join your team to start using it. On the other hand, in this way, you will also automatically receive the second orb.
Finally, the last FF7 Rebirth Magnify Materia that is present in the game, you will be able to acquire it during the twelfth chapter. To be precise, you will have to successfully complete the secondary mission “Victim of Circumstance” which is located in the Cosmo Canyon region and you will receive as a reward the last Magnify Materia that is present in the game.
