I realize these games may not have the same kind of "leveling up" as what you mentioned in the OP, but I think that there is enough emphasis on upgrading your weapons to make these relevant:

Final Fantasy 2 (stats on your characters - not your weapons - regarding weapon proficiency)
Some people already gave their reasons. I'm just going to add that it is still my favourite Final Fantasy of all time (tied with FF5). Great characters, cool stat system, decent story.

Final Fantasy 9
You can forge old weapons into new ones. Since there are opportunities for weapon/armor synthesis in almost every major city, I'd say that it's a main point of the game. My favourite thing about it is that it makes holding onto your old equipment worthwhile.

Tales of Symphonia
Of all the Tales games I've played, I think I did the most weapon customization in this one. Works similar to FF9. This is absolutely my favourite JRPG of all time. I think the best way to explain it is this: it's the FF7 of the Tales series.

Cave Story
Lovely free-to-play platformer/2D side-scroller. Very charming game with fun gameplay. Big emphasis on weapon upgrades, since that's really what will make or break it on the harder game paths.

Knights of the Old Republic
Let me start off by saying that even though this game is a dinosaur, I JUST started playing it this month and am really enjoying it. It took a little while to get used to the controls, even with my own custom hotkeys, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. Some great dialogues, decent item customization, and plenty of skills to choose from. The combat has a pretty steep learning curve though.

Dark Cloud 2 has only a pure leveling weapon effect. There is no level for the character, only the weapons that can change depending on what strengths (against certain types of monsters) you put into it and it evolves, changing its aesthetic form.

Really great game.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny

A sweet PS2 game. You kill enemies and collect their souls, which you can spend on leveling weapons. Each weapon had like 3 ranks if I remember correctly and changes every time you level (new moves, faster animations, better looks etc.)

I would highly recommend you check out Darksiders if you've got a system that can run it. It's a very fun, well made God-of-War style game. Your sword Chaoseater consumes the souls of enemies you kill and gains power over time (as well as your other two main weapons, mind you). You can also purchase different strikes and whatnot using more souls. Souls.

Souls.
