No, they are many large Shuriken that are use as weapons in Japanese fiction. There are called Fuuma (or windmill) Shuriken

---

Exactly, fiction. They are oversized. If Yuffie's shuriken is not oversized because it has appeared in anime before, then no FF characters weapon is too big. I have seen bigger swords in fiction that is NOT final fantasy.
Its like saying Darth Vaders helmet isnt oversized because Darth Helmets helmet was even bigger.

...Darth Helmet was a joke though xp

No I'm saying that Fuuma Shuriken isn't just restricted to FF, and Yuffie's is just right considering.....

I dont think you read my post properly... Of course its not restricted to FF, but its still oversized because these size Shuriken dont exist. Im not claiming that they look out of place for a video game or anime or whatever, im claiming that they look totally out of place for a real life weapon, which you dont need me to tell you im sure.......I hope!

You're forgetting time period, in order to make a detailed weapon in FFVI they had to buff up the size of the image.

No, actually, I'm not forgetting the time period. Most of the other swords actually look somewhat close to proportional in that game. Then along comes something like the Atma Weapon which is twice as long as any normal sword. Let's also not forget the thing Cyan pulls out of his pants when he does dispatch and some other swordtechs. Obviously I'm talking about a really long sword, get your minds out of the gutter.

Nothing more sexier than a girl wielding a weapon too big for her own good

>>> Every RPG has at least one heavy knight with a big assed sword..
