Final Fantasy 7 Remake set the stage for a lot of what Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has in store. Some of the systems from the Remake have been expanded upon, while others have been completely revamped. Take Weapon Levels, for example. Getting the hang of upgrading weapons in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will give you an edge in battles, granting you new weapon skills and stat boosts as you progress. So, let’s see in this guide how to upgrade weapons in Final Fantasy VII.
How to Upgrade Weapons in Final Fantasy VII?
Weapon Upgrades in FF7 happen pretty much on their own. As your characters level up their weapons, they will unlock New Skills and get Stat Boosts. You can track the skills you’ve acquired and the ones coming up on the right side of the Weapon Upgrades screen.
First, head to the weapons shop in Kalm for a quick tutorial on enhancing your trusty Buster Sword as Cloud. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can access the ‘Upgrade Weapons’ option from the Main Menu at any time. Just go into the menu, pick the character’s weapon you want to upgrade, and you’re good to go.
You also have the option to auto-upgrade your weapons as your weapon skills grow. You can adjust the settings for auto-upgrade based on how you like to play. You can choose between Balanced, focusing on Attack, or prioritizing Defense.
In FF7 Rebirth, when you defeat enemies, you’ll earn Weapon SP that helps level up your weapons. Once you reach a certain amount of SP, your weapon will automatically level up. When your Weapon levels up, you’ll gain passive stat boosts and unlock Weapon Skills that can be equipped with the weapon. So, basically, you get to keep your weapon level no matter what weapon you use.
To check how much more SP you need to upgrade a specific weapon, just open the Weapon Upgrade menu, choose the weapon you’re curious about, and you’ll see the Weapon level and SP info at the bottom left of the page. Having a higher weapon level means you will have access to more weapon skill slots, a wider variety of weapon skills, and more abilities in your folios.
So, this was all about how to upgrade weapons in FF7 Rebirth. Keep reading our other guides for more updates on Final Fantasy VII.
