Status Effects have always been a staple in RPG games, for a long time now. The newest release in the Final Fantasy games is no exception to this mechanic. If you want to breeze through combat, you should be aware of the number of different status effects present in the game.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has 3 categories into which all Status Effects can fit. These are Positive (blue icon), Negative(red icon), and Mixed (yellow icon). Positive Status Effects apply purely beneficial effects on you; in contrast, Negative Status Effects do the complete opposite. Meanwhile, Mixed Status Effects give a positive effect along with a negative one, or at a cost.

Let us look at these in order:
