There will be several endgame contents here, unlike Remake and Rebirth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you need a quick refresher of the OG JRPG, narratively speaking, Weapons are produced and unleashed when the Planet senses a threat to its existence \u2013 Sephiroth, basically. <\/p>\n<p>You see plenty of them in the main story, but there are two optional superbosses if you crave the punishment \u2013 Ruby and Emerald Weapon. They appear on the open-world map when certain criteria have been met, and are typically best faced when you have really maxed your characters out.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-3 pb-4 mb-4 border-solid border-y border-neutral-300\">\n        <span class=\"font-article-heading block pb-3 text-base! font-bold uppercase sm:text-sm text-[#333]\"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Considering how <a target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/uk\/tag\/square-enix\/\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/uk\/tag\/square-enix\/\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/uk\/tag\/square-enix\/\">Square Enix<\/a> has approached the Remake series so far, I can&#8217;t see things being too different here.
