This is a page on what to do if your player character is bound in Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7 Remake). Read on if you are unsure of how to handle this sort of situation.

Getting Bounded

Throughout the game you may find yourself up against enemies that have the ability to bind your characters, making them unplayable for a period of time.

How to Get Unbound

To combat this, you can switch or command an ally to damage the enemy. While the enemy should eventually free your character, this may take some time and potentially knock out the bound character. Dealing enough damage to the enemy will help to more quickly free your immobile partner, allowing you to keep attacking another day.

In other words, there's no way to get out of it. But, can you prevent it?
