In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, weapons are not just for damage. They also affect your stats, skills, and difficulty level. To beat the toughest bosses and enemies, you need to find and upgrade the best weapons for each character.
Unlike other RPGs, you can’t buy or craft weapons in FF7 Rebirth. You have to find them in special Treasure Chests that glow purple. These chests are hidden in different locations throughout the game, and some of them are only accessible during certain story events, side quests, or mini-games.
If you miss a chest, don’t worry. You can still buy the weapon from a Weapon Vendor later. The first Weapon Vendor in Kalm sells all the weapons you might have missed. You can also upgrade your weapons at any Weapon Vendor using SP (Skill Points).
To get the most out of your weapons, you need to look for the purple chests whenever you can. They will save you money and give you an edge in combat. Don’t settle for less when you can have the best weapons in FF7 Rebirth.
