How to access character folios in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

You can access character folios in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth by visiting a Maghnata Books store in settlements like Kalm by looking for the Book icon on your map.

You can also use gold vending machines known as Maghnata Automats. These vending machines often appear throughout the world, usually in smaller settlements, at major story checkpoints, or just before you face a boss.

No matter which way you choose to access a Folio, your options will be the same.

How to use Folios to upgrade characters in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

As you play the various missions and explore the environment around you, you will earn skill points (SP). You can then use SP to purchase different skills and stat upgrades in a character’s Folio to improve their individual qualities.

To unlock a new skill or improve stats through a Folio, you will need to be in a Maghnata or Automat shop. Then, select the character you want to apply upgrades to from the list. Next to his name you can see how much SP he has.

Then, once inside your Folio screen, hover over the various options to learn more about them. When you do this, a small description box will appear showing you how much SP it costs and a brief summary of what it does. If you are searching for a skill, you will also be told which partners (if any) work on that skill.

You can also see the character’s current SP level in the upper right corner of this screen.

However, Folios work very similar to a skill tree in that they all have branches. You’ll need to unlock skills and upgrades through these branches, which means you’ll likely have to spend SP on a few things before you can get the one you want.

Additionally, most Folios have multiple branches that extend from the main section and these often end in specialized upgrades for the character.

When you’ve found an upgrade or skill you want and nothing else stands in your way, simply select it with X and confirm that you want to spend your SP on it. Once you’ve purchased it, its attributes will be automatically added to the character or the skill will automatically end up in your command menu.

As you level up your party throughout the story, you’ll unlock more levels within the Folio that will grant you access to bigger and better upgrades or skill options. However, the higher up the Folio, the more SP you will need. This may mean that you will have to wait a while before your next update. That said, you can always use another way to get SP quickly: manuscripts.

How to get and use Folio Manuscripts in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

You can obtain Folio Manuscripts in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth by doing additional jobs in each region through the quest board in larger settlements or by using Moogle Medals to purchase them at Moogle Emporiums.

Each character in your party has their own set of designated manuscripts:

  • Cloud – The Art of Swordplay
  • Barret – Sniper’s Companion
  • Tifa – Path of the Fist
  • Aerith – Telluric Scriptures
  • Red XIII – Tale of the Red Warrior

If you buy or find a Manuscript, the character it is made for will instantly gain SP.
