FFVII Ever Crisis Tifa and Aerith FFXIII Lightning Weapons Shared

As part of the Final Fantasy series crossover in FFVII Ever Crisis, we already knew Tifa and Aerith would get outfits based on Lightning’s appearance in the original FFXIII. Now we know exactly what the two weapons will look like as well. They’ll both debut in-game via the gacha at 7pm PT/10pm ET on October 29, 2025. This comes after we got a closer look at the event storyline and costumes for both characters in a trailer last week.

For this crossover, Tifa gets Lightning’s Gloves and Aerith can wield Lightning’s Rod. The former is a more offensive weapon, while the latter is designed to support the team. We don’t know every ability they possess just yet. But Lightning’s Gloves come with the Army of Strikes Ice-based C Ability that hits one foe, inflicting Ice Resist Down and 1,340% Magic Ice Damage to an opponent. It can also give her the Exploit Weakness buff if her health is over 70%. Lightning’s Rod’s Enhancing Rose will heal allies for up to 7% of healing potency and gives every ally a Magical Damage bonus. It also includes a buff if her health is over 70%, and though that applies to all allies’ PDEF instead of just Aerith’s. The first time you use that C Ability, it also boosts Aerith’s Command Gauge. 

Here are the two infographic images showing what the Aerith and Tifa Lightning weapons based on FFXIII look like in FFVII Ever Crisis:

While these won’t be available until later tonight, there is a new Angeal Halloween 2025 weapon and outfit available. The Ghost Ensis sword with the Rock Swarm C Ability is in the gacha until November 5, 2025. There’s also a Ghost Robe gear costume for him with a Ghostly Spirit that increases his PDEF and MDEF and Boost Earth Potency (All Allies) that increases everyone’s Earth damage R Abilities.

Here’s the trailer for that:
