The Final Fantasy series has experimented with its combat style plenty of times across its many entries, and with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, they’ve found themselves a winner. With a mix of more classic ATB commands and real-time combat,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthrefines and deepens the system even further.
Like any game, the weapons your characters wield are core to how you operate in combat, with each new weapon unlocking new abilities for their respective character. There are quite a few weapons to find in Rebirth, seven for each character, so let’s dive in and show you where to find each and every one of them.
