"Mastering Materia in FF7 Rebirth: A Guide to Stat-Swapping and New Abilities"

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth introduces stat-swapping materia that allow players to exchange HP and MP values, physical and magic attack stats, and physical and magic defense stats. While initially seeming useless, these materia can be strategically used for open world exploration, balancing character strengths, and preparing for specific enemy encounters.
