How to Get All Weapons in FF7 Rebirth
There are a slew of different weapons to find in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and they run the gamut in terms of how hard they are to obtain.
In general though, they can be found in one of three ways. The first is by opening purple chests scattered throughout the world. These chests always contain a weapon, and are typically found while you play through portions of the main story.
FF7 Rebirth Weapons can likewise be obtained as rewards for completing specific minigames and challenges tied to them. A new collar for Red XIII, for example, might require you to earn the top rank of prizes via a hard to achieve score.
You can also get a select few weapons through the completion of Quests. Some have the weapon as their completion reward, wherein you have to help the client make the weapon via the tasks you complete for them
And finally, you can get new weapons the old fashion way — by buying them from weapon merchants around the world. Bear in mind, though, that this can get expensive fast, as each new weapon can run you thousands of gil. We recommend you carefully weigh whether or not it’s worth it to shell out the extra cash instead of trying to find or earn the weapon you want.

Bear in mind that this is a work in progress, and we are still confirming whether or not there are legendary weapons for each party member.
