This is a guide to buying items in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FF7R). Read on to learn more about the places where you can purchase items!
Where to Buy Items in FF7R
You can buy different kinds of items from different shops scattered around the map. Each shop has their items organized into categories: Items, Weapons / Armor, Accessories, and Materia. Categories are grayed out and inaccessible if the shop does not have any item on sale that falls on that category.
Shops usually sell other types of items in addition to the items under their category, like item shops selling materias, so be sure to switch categories by pressing L2 or R2 to check on other items on sale!
Item Shop
Item Shops are where you should go if you are looking for recovery items to purchase.
Weapons Store
Weapons Stores sell weapons, armors, and accessories. Some weapons in the game are not available for purchase and you need to progress to later chapters before you can find purchasable weapons.
Materia Shop
Materia Shops sell different kinds of materias but are only limited to Magic materias and Complete materias.
Vending Machine
Vending Machines sell all four categories of items, are found nearly everywhere, and usually have a rest area right next to it. How convenient! Most of these machines have discounted items so always check them out whenever you find one.
The Moogle Emporium
The Moogle Emporium is a special shop located at the Sector 5 Slums which sells different kinds of rare items in exchange for moogle medals.
This shop will be accessible once you clear The Mysterious Moogle Merchant Odd Job in Chapter 8 by purchasing a Moogle Membership Card from him for 1 moogle medal. After doing so, rare items will be available for purchase from his shop.
This is the only place where you can use your moogle medals so if you have already collected a lot of moogle medals, you can spend them here for rare items, kupo!
Chadley
Chadley sells materias that are not purchasable anywhere else and are only limited to a few stocks. Chadley will request assistance for his Battle Intel Reports. In return, he will be able to develop a materia which you can purchase from him.
