The Materia system first made an appearance in Final Fantasy VII, so it’s no surprise that it appears in Ever Crisis. However, players cannot immediately upgrade or create Materia in the mobile game. Instead, it must be unlocked through progression and various quests. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about Materia in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis and more.
How to unlock Materia in FFVII Ever Crisis
In order to unlock all functions and features associated with Materia, players must progress through the story of Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis. This will unlock the Sealed Tower of the Cetra and the ability to Enhance Materia. However, you cannot make full use of this feature until you can begin to Synthesize Materia. This is also unlocked by progressing through the story, and the game will provide an alert once you have unlocked this feature.
After getting the unlock notification, this is when you can actually start to upgrade your Materia properly. Now that you can Synthesize, you can create Materia of different “grades” at random. This means that you have the ability to create 2-Star and above Materia that you can Enhance by feeding lower “grade” Materia. Keep in mind that this process is extremely lengthy, as Synthesizing Materia does take some time. It can roughly take a few hours to Synthesize and create a single Materia potentially. It’s advised you just keep Synthesizing one type of Materia that is quick to create and use the second slot available to make the Materia you actually want to use.
Ever Crisis also features different types of Elemental Materia that you can create, which you can learn how to unlock below.
How to unlock different Elemental Materia in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis
Unlocking the different kinds of Elemental Materia in Ever Crisis is extremely easy. Once you’ve unlocked the Synthesis function, you will unlock new Solo Content. This comes in the form of Synthesis Quests. From here, you can obtain Synthesis Materials and the recipe for Elemental Materia. This includes the following:
- Fire Materia
- Blizzard (Ice) Materia
- Lightning Materia
- Earth (Quake) Materia
- Water Materia
- Wind Materia
Each of these recipes is unlocked by completing the Materia Synthesis. However, it’s relatively easy to obtain these Elemental Materia, as it only requires one quest for each one.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for Android and iOS devices. It will appear on PC through the Steam storefront sometime in the future.
