How to Recover HP and MP Guide for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth)

Below is a guide on how to recover HP and MP for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth), including ways to fully restore HP and MP in and out of battle, how to recover HP and MP on Hard mode, and other useful tips.

Ways to Restore HP and MP

Use items in and out of battle.

You can restore the HP and MP of character by using various items found or purchased throughout the game. Below is a list of all consumable items to heal or recover MP in and out of battle.

HP and MP Restoring Items

Using Items in Battle

Using items in battle requires 1 bar of the ATB gauge. To do so, open the Commands Menu by pressing the X button while in combat. Then, select Items, choose the consumable you want to use, and pick the ally you want to use it on.

Using Items in the Field

To use items in the field (outside of combat), open the main menu and go to Inventory > Items. Afterwards, select the item consumable and character to use it on.

Note that using items is disabled on Hard difficulty mode.

Rest at benches.

Resting at benches fully restores the party’s HP and MP, functioning similarly to inns but do not require you to pay a fee in gil to use. Benches can be used as many times as you like and are usually placed as checkpoints in between large dungeon sections filled with enemies or throughout the game’s explorable open world.

Resting at benches does not restore MP on Hard difficulty mode (only HP).

Stay at inns.

As mentioned, inns also recover the party’s HP and MP to maximum but at the cost of a fee for the night’s stay. Unlike benches, however, inns are mostly found in towns and villages.

Note that staying at an inn also does not restore MP on Hard difficulty mode (only HP).

Other Ways to Restore HP and MP (Hard Mode)

Below are ways to recover HP and MP while playing on Hard Mode which disables the use of items in addition to several other restrictions that make it hard to manage both resources in and out of battle.

Use HP and MP drain abilities and materia in battle.

Certain characters such as Aerith and Red XIII can use abilities to absorb HP and MP from enemies in battle, allowing you to gain back both resources without using items.

Break boxes to find Mako Shards.

Some crates contain Mako Shards that automatically recover a portion of all party members’ MP. Because of this, take the time to go around breaking boxes you find while exploring dungeons or the open world.

Clear side quests.

Side quests can fully restores the party’s HP and MP as if you rested at a bench or inn outside of Hard mode. Try clearing these optional missions if you need to recover all party members to top condition if all other options are unavailable.
