How to Lock On in Final Fantasy VII Remake

Like any other traditional JRPG, you will be faced with multiple enemies at a time during combat scenarios with your party members in Final Fantasy VII Remake.

If you’re attacking an enemy and want to focus your attacks on a different opponent that is bothering your teammate or if it just requires your attention, you will need to lock on to your enemies and switch targets accordingly so that you’re performing the correct actions.

If you need to lock onto an opponent in Final Fantasy VII Remake, all you need to do during a fight is to press down on R3, which is basically just clicking in the right analog stick on your PS4 controller. Your target will now be locked onto an enemy but if you want to switch targets, simply tilt the right stick in the direction of said enemy.

And, of course, if you would like to remove the lock on target from someone, just press R3 again.

And hopefully, that answered your question about how to lock on in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
