Where do Phantom Edges come from?

Where weapons and Phantom Edges come from: the director says every weapon/Edge comes from defeating a specific boss; reviewers also describe finding them in the world and via side quests, and many main weapons as missable.

How we handle it: Sources describe this differently: the director says every weapon comes from a specific boss, while reviewers also mention finding some in the world or through side quests. Until we can check the full list, read it as: many weapons are earned from bosses, and some are missable.
