In Final Fantasy VII Remake, Summon Materia allows party members to call upon powerful fearsome creatures to aid in combat. Here’s a guide.
How to Summon in Final Fantasy VII Remake
Summon Materia is noted by a Red color scheme and lets the player pull off some of the most powerful attacks in the game.
After acquiring the Summon Materia for the specific monster, you need to go and equip it in the Materia & Summons tab of the Main Menu.
Summon Materia can only be used in certain fights, including boss battles. In a similar way to how you build stagger with enemies, you have to charge up the Summon meter before the Command becomes available in combat.
