==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy VII===
Emerald Weapon is one of the Weapons created by the Planet as its defense mechanism. It and Ruby Weapon are two superbosses first introduced in the North American release, and later appearing in all subsequent versions. Fought under the sea by ramming it with the submarine, it boasts the highest HP of any enemy in the game at a staggering 1,000,000, and is one of few fights in the game fought under a countdown, 20 minutes without the Underwater Materia. It attacks with powerful non-elemental attacks, the deadly Gravity-type Emerald Beam, and the powerful Aire Tam Storm. Defeating it yields the Earth Harp item, which can be traded for a full set of Master Materia with the Kalm traveler.
Final Fantasy VII Remake has a side-quest called "Corneo's Secret Stash", where Cloud and his party are tasked with finding Don Corneo treasury. One of them is the "Emerald Tiara" , which is shaped after Emerald Weapon.
====Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-====
Though Emerald Weapon does not appear, a Weapon strongly resembling it appears as a Hidden Easter egg, buried in Banora Underground. In the northern sections of the first area, "Depths of Judgment", the Weapon's shoulders emerge from a large formation of crystal. The ridges and slots on the shoulders give it the appearance of Emerald Weapon, but the player is unable to move Zack or the camera in such a way as to see past the crystal, and the Weapon was confirmed to be different from Emerald. The Weapon discovered in stasis underground caused the Shinra Electric Power Company to close the Banora mining site, and the village was built to hide its discovery, with Shinra staffing it with residents.
===Final Fantasy XIV===
The Emerald Weapon is a Garlean warmachina. Like the Ruby and Sapphire weapons before it, the Emerald Weapon was reverse-engineered from the Ultima Weapon by the VIIth Imperial Legion and incorporates a synthetic auracite core containing combat data based on Gaius van Baelsar.
