While the vast majority of the gameplay frameworks from the original title are as yet intact here, Square Enix has made a couple of changes and increments in FF7 Remake. In this guide, we will go over the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Weapon Upgrades in detail.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Weapon Upgrades
Weapons can be upgraded to get new skills while using them in battle. You can upgrade weapons by going into the menu and choosing Upgrade Weapons.
Skill Points
Skill Points (SP) are used while upgrading weapons. These are obtained every time a character levels up.
Skill Points are required to open nodes for your weapon upgrades. Skill Points are rewarded after certain numbers of battles to each character.
So when you gather good numbers of skill points, it’s a great opportunity to upgrade your weapons. You can likewise pick up SP in Final Fantasy VII Remake by spending Moogle Medals.
Weapon Abilities
Each weapon in Final Fantasy VII Remake has its separate ability. As you see the Cloud’s Iron Sword accompanies the Triple Slash ability and the Buster Sword accompanies the Focused Thrust ability.
You’ll have to have a particular weapon equipped so as to utilize the unique ability. In any case, the more you utilize that ability in battle, the more proficiency you will pick up with it.
Upgrading Weapons
You can select the weapon from the upgrade weapon menu to upgrade it. This will open up the weapon core screen, permitting you to pick abilities you want to open utilizing your available Skill points(SP).
Getting Skills of a weapon’s core opens sub-centers that permit you to get all the more powerful abilities and even extra materia slots.
