It’s been a week since the game’s release, leaving newcomers and longtime fans wondering where to find every weapon in the Final Fantasy VII Remake. The city of Midgar is a dangerous place to explore, but Square Enix has made sure to include powerful arsenals to aid in Cloud’s battles against men, monsters, and mechs in the fight to stop Shinra. And with powerful allies such as Aerith, Barrett, and Tifa fighting alongside Cloud, they’ll need a lot more than a hand-me-down Buster Sword to topple the evil corporation. Luckily we have assempled this guide so you know where to find all of the weapons hidden off the beaten path so you can master every skill and improve your arsenal when it comes to facing President Shinra and his ruthless military aid Heidegger.

All of the game’s four playable characters can utilize six different weapons, all of which come with their own unique combat ability that can be carried over once the player is able to master them.
Cloud specializes in swords while Aerith uses bow staffs. Tifa uses various gloves and gauntlets, and of course, Barret relies on new and improved versions of his gun arm. While it’s easy sometimes to go for whatever does the most damage, some are more beneficial in Materia slots while others have amazing special abilities, so you’ll want to really pay attention and explore which one is best for each situation.
Hit the next slide to check out our full weapons guide, and you can find the full Final Fantasy VII Remake description below.
“FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE is a reimagining of the iconic original game that re-defined the RPG genre, diving deeper into the world and its characters than ever before. The first game in the project will be set in the eclectic city of Midgar and presents a fully standalone gaming experience that provides a great starting point to the series.
Along with unforgettable characters and a powerful story, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE features a hybrid battle system that merges real-time action with strategic, command-based combat. For players who wish to focus purely on battle strategy, a menu-focused ‘Classic Mode’ provides a gameplay style more similar to the original game. More information regarding the newly revealed Classic Mode can be found on the Square Enix Blog.”
Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on the Playstation 4 now.
