Irina "Zemlia" Sukhanova Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was recently released to critical acclaim. The game introduced some changes to the gameplay. For example, weapon enhancement now has different requirements. The gist is that gamers need to improve not only the weapons they've unlocked but also their party. But let's dive into all of this in more detail in our article.

Where to view weapons and their specifications
If you're opening Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the first time, you might face some difficulties regarding weapon specifications and bonuses. If you want to see what weapons you have, then open the tab named Materia and Equipment and Weapon Upgrades.
However, if you click on the Upgrade section, a somewhat confusing screen appears, where it's hard to make sense of anything at first. But it's precisely here that you'll find the weapon level indicator and the upgrades. It's best to pause the game so that you can take your time and look over everything carefully.

At the top right, the skills acquired in handling the equipment are listed. If you look down, you can see the skills that will be unlocked in the future. Also, there are improvements in the characteristics with the increase in weapon level.
There is also a chart that shows the weapon level along with the required SP. If you change weapons, the level does not change, which is a huge plus.
How to obtain new weapons

There are seven weapon options available for each character. To achieve this goal, you need to finish each chapter or search thoroughly in the area where it might be located.
In summary, if you haven't found what you're looking for while exploring the world, the weapon will become available after completing the chapter in special stores.
How to upgrade weapons

For an upgrade, you need to earn SP (this is possible by leveling up characters, completing quests, or defeating enemies). At some point, you'll notice that when you collect additional weapons, their characteristics do not always improve with the change of equipment. For example, one might be better in attack, while another is better in magic. It's important to note that different skills are required for each of them.
Essentially, weapon levels do not need to be manually increased as this process happens automatically, significantly easing gameplay.
In general, upgrades can be focused on obtaining bonuses, such as additional health, enhanced attack power, and more.

You will be able to select active skills for your weapon that will constantly work. However, upon your first entry into the game, only one skill slot will be available to you. Everything changes upon acquiring SP: more slots for improvements become available, and these are necessary for activating skills simultaneously.
Remember, each weapon has its own upgrade options. The skills from your previous equipment will not automatically transfer.

Different types of weapons will offer different upgrades. For instance, you may need to sacrifice over 150+ HP for a significant boost to Punisher mode when selecting swords for Cloud.
What's the advantage of this system? You can play at your own pace without hurrying, especially with open-world maps. Just level up and accumulate experience for improvements.
