In this mode, the player only needs to select which skills, magic and items they will use their ATB charges for. This brings the gameplay feel closer to the menu-based battles of the original Final Fantasy VII, but with the remake's amazing immersive graphics. It is also possible to revert to direct control at any time during Classic Mode by pressing buttons on the controller.

Cloud can "attack" with his sword at close range with the Square button and create combos by repeatedly pressing Square. Holding Square, Cloud can unleash a radial attack.

The Triangle button activates each character's unique ability. The cloud's unique ability is to switch between different fighting styles. He can switch between "Operator Mode", which has a good balance between offense and defense, and "Punisher Mode", which is heavily geared towards offense. In Punisher mode, Cloud's movement speed is reduced, but his square button basic attacks are upgraded to even stronger attacks.

—Operator Mode: "Attack."

—Punisher Mode: "Strong Attack."
