It affects the party no different than the rest. You could have easily tested this simply by removing the weapon and looking at the stats of your team.

What they're saying above is that fire doesn't have any events for a long time, so they're stuck using whatever they can get for their soul, even if it's a R weapon. It really only applies if you just started the game recently.
