Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: The Ultimate Weapons Guide

[@isaacddestroy3674]

I’m just so impressed with how each character is so unique and fun to play as. They really took their time ensuring everyone brought something different to the table. And it makes it to where even if you get bored of a character or a party combination, you can swap even just one character, and everything changes. Maxing out Cait’s Luck has made him stupid competitive for me. I’m not done beating the game the first time around, but rn he’s at Lvl. 41, 90% luck Up, with Luckey Jockey and damn, he’s getting critical hits in his sleep, and Fortune Teller is consistently dealing 3500+ damage.

[@nachot6592]

This is the best enhancement relative to OG, by far.

[@devak45167]

Tying learning new combat skills directly to finding new weapons and mastering their abilities is a masterful system. It not only forces you to switch it up from time to time it also makes finding the next new weapon so exciting because that next skill could be a game changer (like Yuffie’s doppelgänger)

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

That was a rather clever choice. It forces you to change it up for a little bit but also rewards you for your efforts by letting you keep the rewards with your favorites.

[@phootaphan9166]

@@Blasted2Oblivion Yeah, I like how the weapons all have a similar overall power level, just spread out differently between magic and physical damage. Then they each have their own perks that can be mixed and matched based on your own preferences, so everything is customizable and has its own uses in the endgame. Way better than "Here, this weapon does more damage. Use this now."

[@TheRogBG]

Facts. Way better than FFXVI which literally did nothing with their weapons other than give you insignificant stat boosts

This is the best video I’ve seen about how to use the various weapons in Rebirth. Most other guides focus on where to find the weapons… which is strange because (I think) the game automatically offers (at weapon shops) any weapons that one fails to find during the main story missions.

[@Memehuskie]

I usually play the buster sword to the end. (Especially learning new weapons abilities along the way) just because it’s his iconic sword

[@PikaPikaPrincess]

I pretty much did that. Just felt right yknow lol

[@YetiCoolBrother]

Same, plus the Buster Sword has the most balanced stats between Attack & Magic and has Reprieve.

[@GooseGumlizzard]

it also looks better than most of the other options. Although Umbral and Crystal Sword look great too. I hate the Igneous saber its so ugly but its so strong and has so many slots.

[@ShadeKazin]

It’s ironic because in the original game. You stop using it once you leave midgard because everything else you find was just “better”. Most players spend the majority of ff7 with cloud wielding anything but the Buster Sword.

[@snuzigames]

I mainly used it and the ingenious sword or the rune/crystal ones

[@MarcusSanchez2525]

Barret in Remake felt Underwhelming for the most part to me but in Rebirth I think he is one of the best, he’s an ATB machine and can take so much damage not only for himself but for others they really improved on everyone so much.

[@ianphillips103]

I like him in Remake, but you're right. He's a stagger god too.

[@MarcusSanchez2525]

@@ianphillips103 I wanted to like him in Remake and wanted to use him but so many of the post game bosses were so fast that it felt to hard at least when I played it last being able to perfect block also helped him immensely

[@cstaie85]

I agree he is much better in rebirth. In remake I felt his ATB was way too slow so I focused on cloud and Tifa. Since they had much faster gains for abilities. In rebirth it seems they buffed the atb gain overall to help minimize auto attack and downtime

[@ianphillips103]

Yeah, I may be the minority but I think why I liked playing him is because I felt like the general on a battlefield, standing back, telling orders while I focused on healing and picking off aerial enemies. Largely, he is useless in combat if you don't have Overcharge or if you don't equip him with Elemental+Weakness of an enemy, which requires knowledge of what is upcoming. And his melee weapons are awful. Giving Barrett his Bonus Round ability to dramatically increase his stagger damage along with his overall survivability due to being a long-range tank makes him so much more viable in combat encounters in this game. If you use a party of Red, Cloud, and Barrett, give Red Provoke and Barrett will hardly be touched.

@@ianphillips103 they even improved all of his close range melee abilities in Rebirth, didn’t use them all the time but there were lots of places where you can actually use them now.

I like the umbral blade on cloud because i use him as a hybrid. Its nice having reprieve and the +50 defence. Cloud is my reviver as he has chakra. Tifa has chaka and aerith i use magic focus/ ice or whatever element the opponent is weak to an then i magnify barrier and magnify healing as well and give her the upgraded karamic cowl so her defences are 160+ and then she uses the plumose rod.

[@yumyumeatemup]

Slight correction. Reprieve doesnt actually revive you. If it did it would be much better than what it actually does. What reprieve does is, if you take LETHAL damage from an attack. Instead of reducing your HP to 0 you are instead reduced to 1. Most cases this gives you a last minute chance to get away from an enemy and heal up or deal the decisive blow if they are close to stagger or death. Only issue though is, multi hitting attacks like needle rain, or octolash that do massive damage over several hits. In that case you will get hit, go down to 1 being "Saved" by reprieve, only to get hit immediately again and die all the same. If the mechanic did as it was described here in the video it would be more so akin to reraise and you would be able to take as much damage as possible and then the blade would revive you. That would absolutely be the best thing ever because you would be able to live (even if only once) through even the most devastating attacks in the game.

For reals! Without him and his LifeSaver ability, i would never have been able to beat Rulers of The Outer Worlds 🤩✊️

[@TheModelGamer]

Gotta say, I DO think the weapon upgrade system from both Remake AND Rebirth are so perfectly done. First off, in both games, they give you the option to customize your characters. Do you focus on high physical damage? High magic damage? Or do you tailor the weapon to address the innate weakness of the character, i.e. giving Barret's weapons a bigger boost to magic to bring his magic stats up? The combinations and strategies are endless, ensuring no two playthroughs are going to be exactly the same. Secondly, and this for me is the big thing: it makes these games WAY less formulaic than, not only the original, but most classic FF games. In those games, once you got an upgraded weapon, the older weapon became useless. FF7 tried to address that minimally (ultimate weapons don't gain AP for materia, while some lower weapons offer 3x AP), but it essentially still was, once you got a new weapon, the old weapon just wastes inventory space. In these games, though, weapons you have in the beginning of the game can still be useful in the later stages of the game. Again, it is all about the play style of the player, and offers a lot of experimentation. Which makes these games so amazing.

[@calvinmatthews1527]

Alright, I'll say it. The Tales series wishes it had an equipment system this intricate, not convoluted.

[@jetreyes842]

What does limit break + 10% damage attribute do for Aerith? Always found it weird since she doesnt have offensive LBs

[@kronozord8346]

I think it only boosts the healing limit, nonetheless is pretty weird.

[@Ephideltrance]

It seems a lot of folks don't like the design of the Igneous Saber but to me it stands out the most of Cloud's weapons... looks super savage and swore it was made from a monster, until I read it was forged from molten rock. Definitely fits into monster hunter... I think people associate Cloud with more sleek modern looking greatswords... but that's my fav followed by the Slipstream.

[@jonathanabgrall6075]

One thing about Red XIII is that his damage and speed (so upttime) is already significantly buffed while in Vengeance Mode, whih is prolly why he doesn't have a glass cannon weapon. If you manage his vengeance bar well and keep him in that state the damage/pressure he does is insane. He's also probably the best character to use the Elemental materia on because of that.

[@BoBurnham69]

Sleek Saber all the way!!!! The platinum for this masterpiece drained me, but it was SOO worth it 😍🙏 thank you, square! Counting the minutes until Part lll

[@rollcats1290]

I think at least one weapon for every character also has a built-in buff to ATB charge rate (10% buff) without having to use an ability slot. You have to go to the second page of the characters stats to see this. For cloud it is Sleek Saber and for Aeritj it’s her Gambetein

[@awsomeboy360]

I love how many options there is. You can make some insane builds

[@brasstonberry3266]

[@TheRogBG]

No. Please don't bring up final hallway 13 anymore.

[@Ephideltrance]

​@slickdrick He is correct. FF13 started the more intricate customisation of weapons and this went over to the remake and was improved. Also, FF13 set the foundation of what is clearly a permanent mechanic in the FF series now- the stagger system. So can say what about the game... it was a FF that set new trends.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I know that it doesn't really fit within this game but I love games that let you make totally custom weapons. They usually end up, with some research and effort, being vastly superior to the existing ultimate weapons. My favorite example was probably dragon age inquisition.

[@coltdeedede]

I loved the weapon system a little more in Remake but it still worked in Rebirth, the only thing I kinda wish made it into the game was a Moogle Workshop or Item Transmuter for some kind of Ultima Weapons - there were so many materials to collect I thought it was a littler weird that almost all of the team's best weapons end up being the Cetra based ones you find in the Temple.

please someone clear somethin up to me, to upgrade my weapon level i need to find the books?

Pretty much. The books, or manuscripts, yield 10 consistent ap for their designated character upon receiving them. Every time your character increases in level they either gain 5 additional ap or 10 (I only noticed this postgame playing in hard mode, some characters may have increased in level twice after a harder fight). Either way, I hope this answers your question!

[@Malacite]

As a general rule of thumb, anything with ATB Up on it tends to beat out other options regardless of stats. Action Economy is what wins the day, not marginal increases to ATK or MAG, especially on Spam-heavy characters like Cloud Yuffie or Tifa. I do like that there are niche options available as required, and I especially appreciated that materia slots naturally improve with weapon rank. However I do hope that Part 3 uses a more straightforward system for the weapon skills. I don't like that each weapon has its own predetermined list of what you can equip. I would much rather choose my weapon based on the other factors and then customize it accordingly, much like how materia allows you to customize the characters themselves.

[@xRoycex]

Agreed. I feel like it would have been really helpful if you could "save" certain loadouts for different builds if that's the route you wanted to take for certain, more versatile characters, and then not even being able to consistently or easily view whatever weapon abilities without having to close this, open up that, then switch around---- HUGE pain. Specifically referring to Tifa :]

[@spicybag22]

I want to hit the like button but it's says 777 likes right now 😂

[@grandpagohan1]

I usually just stick with what weapon I got most recently, unless I still have skills to learn. Since Cait got so many megaphones before I could master their skills, I had like three new weapins for him unmastered at one point. But yeah, get a new weapon, slap that on, put them in the party, master the skill, then boot them out so Tifa can come back. Rinse, repeat. But now that I have everything, I think I'll just stick to the final weapons unless I really prefer an older design. I kinda love Cloud's Crystal Sword, Tifa's Dragonscale, and Yuffie's Bird of Prey. Oh, and I usually alternate between Cloud and Tifa. Both are the best for my preferred play style of sheer brute force and lots of dodging. I'm not really one for finesse and patience, so Aerith is easily the worst to me. Taking down Sephiroth was a nightmare cause she took forever to become useful and I usually needed to burn her ATB to heal Cloud rather than set-up wards and use magic. I really hope Part 3 doesn't force her to be your sole partner in the final battle again. I don't mind her playing a part, but in a two-person party, she's very restrictive.

Guy in the video doesnt even have weapons at max level. Weapons like sleek sabre beat igneous, it only has like 2 less attack power but lets you use double atb bonus. Same with tifa, dragon claws overtake pretty much everything because they get access to 6 materia slots, high attack and weapon abilities. Dragon claws gets the 15% weapon ability damage bonus also. Its a clear winner

[@Ephideltrance]

Don't all weapons at max level have 6 materia slots that are all linked? To me that was the case in remake. The only difference between weapons are stats and abilities and these are more subtle differences. If a weapon at max has less materia slots, it literally cannot compete with ones that have more as materia options are the core mechanic of the game. So unless they stats are way higher than a weapon with more materia it is inherently worse imo.

I find cait sith goofy and whack i dont like his playstyle at all easily the best combination is cloud tifa and aerith you build aerith as magic only tifa as physical only and cloud as a hybrid and you arcane ward spam magic with cloud and aerith and use tifa to haste/ plasma discharge/ unbridled strength/ soothing breeeze/ rancid breathe your way through everything every fight has been easy using this strategy tifa is broken

I was just spamming his limit breaks 🤣

@@hjk3351 give him to luck Materia and level it all the way up, and he hits like 6k with his abilities, he is at level 46 and can hit really hard

as like in the remake, the buster sword is the best sword by the end game

[@travisleonhart3371]

After everything is maxed out or before ? Felt like it lacked some punch compared to the sleek saber or the slip stream saber and the umbral blade felt like a better option as well imo but I also am on I believe lvl 9 upgrades I need like 300 something for the next weapon upgrade

[@chadzka]

I liked the weapon system better in remake. In rebirth I felt forced to use one weapon for each character
