This is a page about critical hits in Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7R). Read on to find out what determines the critical hit rate and how much extra damage they deal.
List of Contents
Critical hits deal more damage than a regular attack and occur depending on various parameters. You'll know you've landed a critical hit as the numbers that appear while attacking are much larger than normal. The basic formula for critical hits is as follows:
| (Luck Stat/512) ✖️Weapon Skill Modifier (i.e if the skill is 10% up, the modifier is 1.1x) |
If there are multiple modifiers in effect, they will be added together for the final value. For example, if you have a Critical Hit Rate 10% Boost skill paired with a Critical Hit Rate 50% Boost skill, the modifier becomes 1.6x. Keep in mind, however, that the weapon skill Weapon Ability Critical Hit Rate 10% Boost does not affect character's unique abilities.
The amount of damage done is as follows:
| Damage Dealt ✖️(1.2x + 1) |
Critical Damage Boost weapon skills will further increase this damage as well. However, critical hit damage does not apply to damage boosts from linking the Elemental materia on a weapon.

It's pretty cool to see critical hits get boiled down to a formula. Question though, the formula shows how numbers are crunched, but what number is needed for a critical hit to happen?
