There are a variety of weapons for your party members in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Weapons work a bit differently in this game, as not only can they change stats, but they will change the abilities that the character can use. This adds a deeper level to the weapons, as you may want to use one move over the other prompting you to switch to a weapon you found much earlier in the game. The guide below goes over every weapon in the game, what ability it activates, and where to find it.
