[GameSpot] - Final Fantasy 7 Remake Weapon Upgrade Guide: How To Best Spec Each Character Early On

[343iBot]

In Final Fantasy VII Remake, you can customize your party's stats and further specialize their roles in battle via the Weapon Upgrade system. This series of weapon-specific skill trees expands the more you level up your characters and increase their max SP (skill points), which eventually increases their weapon level and allows you additional skill tree nodes to further strengthen the weapons they're using. After your Avalanche buddy Biggs introduces you to Weapon Upgrades early on, you'll want to take advantage of fleshing out each party member's attributes.

Below we've outlined some background on Weapon Upgrades, as well as a reliable approach to upgrading your party's weapons during the game's first handful of chapters--one you can even use throughout the whole game if it works for you. If you find it doesn't work for you, you're welcome to respec at any time by talking to Chadley, a character you meet in a side mission during Chapter 3, who you can pay to reset your upgrades.
