Alright, let's talk about kitting out your party in Final Fantasy VII Remake! Armor and accessories are super important because they boost your defensive stats (Physical Defense - DEF, and Magic Defense - M DEF) and, crucially, give you more Materia slots to customize your characters. More slots mean more spells, more abilities, and more ways to tackle any challenge.
This guide covers all the armor pieces and accessories you can find, so you know exactly what to look out for. We'll break down their stats and how many Materia slots they offer, including any linked slots (O-O) which are great for boosting specific Materia.

- When you're starting out, the Star Bracelet and Caliginous Bracelet are fine, but you'll quickly want to upgrade to pieces with more Materia slots.
- The Magician's Bracelet, Geometric Bracelet, and Force Bracelet offer a good balance of slots and decent defense early on.
- As you progress, keep an eye out for the Titanium Bangle, Gothic Bangle, and Cog Bangle for more slots and better DEF/M DEF.
- The Leather Bracer and Studded Bracer are interesting because they offer more DEF than M DEF, which might be useful depending on the enemies you're facing.
- The Mesmeric Armlet and Mythril Armlet are the opposite, leaning towards higher M DEF.
- The Iron Maiden and Astral Cuff have massive DEF or M DEF respectively, but lack Materia slots, making them a trade-off. You'll usually want more slots unless you're facing a specific, overwhelming threat.
- Always consider what Materia you want to equip when choosing your gear. More slots, especially linked ones (O-O), are generally better for powerful combinations.
