weird swords

[thegirth]

i think that weird swords keep final fantasy alive and since seven we have had them

Buster sword- Cloud
Masamune- Sephiroth
Gunblade- Seifer and Squall
Tidus swords esp Brotherhood- Tidus

i think ff9 failed due to it not having a weird sword

[silentenigma]

or maybe the things that kept final fantasy alive were engaging storylines, in-depth character development, excellent gameplay, beautiful graphics, and beautiful music.

"There was no IX! They skipped a Final Fantasy!" "Was too. The guy had a tail." "Was it a sword tail?"

[Cruise Control]

Because we all know four weird swords out of four-hundred plain swords is cleary indicative of a trend.

[UltimaMasamune]

Gilgamesh(especially in FFXII) has some the best swords ever

8 arms FTW FTW

Please enlighten me as to how it "failed"?

[lufia]

ff9 being in the top5 games of all time in the ps1 makes it even higher than ff7. thats a very shallow remark to say that ff9 failed cause it had no weird sword.

Main character in Final Fantasy:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10

Had a sword. (Unless you were rubbish and chose a class/job which couldn't use swords. In which case you are a pansy and probably called Yuna.)

THAT'S why it failed.

If the main character can use any weapon, the whole the "Main Character uses swords" arguement falls a bit flat. :rolleyes2 So we can eliminate 1, 2, 3, and 5 from this right off the bat.

8 and 9 are debateable, as Zidanes weapons are refered to as Thief Swords. If that doesn't count, then gunblades sure as hell don't.

So that leaves IV, VI , VII and X. One could easily argue that IX surpasses all of the above in many different respects. Ergo, it does not fail. :D

Besides, if all a game has going for it is "ZOMG, SORD!!!111!", then it's a pretty damn pathetic game. :rolleyes2

[Vermachtnis]

This is probably a little off topic, but I made Firion use a Sword and Spear at the same time. That's a little weird, huh?

[Ashley Schovitz]

What's so weird about their swords???:confused:

[Radje]

I'm right and you're wrong.

Wait. Final Fantasy had these? You sure?

[Masamunemaster]

Yazzo and Loz have gunblades..but they arent on any games....

That would be great if they made one though

[farplaner]

I'm a blockhead and you know it.

QFT

[cloud_doll]

actually, zidane's swords were pretty crazy. much more than squalls.

[Radje]

:cry:

swordchucks yo!

[Tavrobel]

Main character in Final Fantasy:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10

I could use any class.
IIj could use any weapon.
IIIj could use any class.
V could use any class.
VI explained below.
XI could use any class.
XII could use any weapon.

IV, VII, VIII, IX, X use swords.


I'm right and you're wrong.
LOL no. Zidane's weapons are more swords than Squall's could ever be, and you know it.


So that leaves [VI]...

Arguably, if we consider Locke/Terra the main character, neither one of them has to use swords, either. Locke focuses on knives and dagger-type weapons (dual Valiants, please). Terra can also use other weapons: in the plot, she's more of a weapon because of her magic, not her physical abilities (Morph).

If you don't consider FFVI has having a single main character, then it automatically fails succeeds.

Atma Weapon is also a Lightsaber, not a Sword.

[Jessweeee♪]

I LOVE WEIRD AND UNIQUE WEAPONS!!!

My favorite weapons in the Square games would be~
Mint's Dual Halos
Rue's Arc Edge
Several previously mentioned weapons
Lightning's nifty little gun-blade thing
Demyx's Guitar
Axel's...things...
Lulu's puppets


Don't be a smart-ass, please.

[LoKuS]

Lulu's weapons own all.

[utelektr]

Staffchucks are better than swordchucks.

But seriously, if Auron perfected two-fisted monkey style, he would be so totally kewl.

As for weird swords... atma wepin >>
