For sure, best to rip the bandage off early; it will absolutely only become a bigger problem if left alone.

>so just keep them for now and forge new weapons for the rest of the characters for trial EXP?
Pretty much. As it stands, weapons are entirely useless in combat, with just a few holding value as statsticks (Wanewraith and Excresduo for skill damage, and Guixu Rachet for Lisbell combo shenanigans). If you have the mats to use on them, there's no harm in making duplicates for smelting, but there's not really a huge benefit either at this juncture; you can, however, think of it as an investment for a future update where weapons WILL be useful.
