heal and cure materia

[illusiionary]

what's the difference?

[Del Murder]

Cure (Restore) - HP recovery (Cure1, Cure2, Regen, Cure3)
Heal - heals status effects (Poisona, Esuna, Resist)

[Wuggly Blight]

I fund cure muucchhh more useful

[TheSpoonyBard]

You may find yourself coming across a FullCure materia during the game. This is similar to Restore in that it restores HP, but is is significantly different. It costs 99 MP (much more than Cure3) and fully restores a single character's HP to a maximum of 9,999. It cannot, however, be linked to an All.

[DJZen]

The only reason Heal isn't too important is because all of the status effects wear off after battle.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Resist is quite useful if you find yourself against a status inflicting enemy of some kind (SPOILER)*coughsafersephirothcough*

Or the Gold Saucer.
