It's roaches that survive the A-Bomb, fool!Originally Posted by farplaner
That's flimsy. You could also say that the huge weapons are much too bulky for fighting enemies like lizards and such. It's like killing a fly with an A-Bomb. Plus, magic can be as effective (if not more so) on the big enemies as swords and such.
My position stands!
I never said anything about what survives the A-Bomb.....fool. And besides, roaches may survive the radioactive wasteland left by the bomb, but they won't survive ground zero.It's roaches that survive the A-Bomb, fool!That's flimsy.

Your position may stand, but your argument has flatlined, and the doctors have pronounced the time of death.
Brian: "If I remember correctly, this is the Physics Department."
Chris: "That would explain all the gravity."
If they didn't have such big weapons, you guys would be asking, "Why are Cloud and Sephiroth fighting each other with little sticks that are 3 inches long?"

Cloud has a big sword.
Squall doesn't.
Zidane doesn't.
Tidus doesn't.
The rest all have normal sized swords. Cloud's is big because it is a BUSTER BLADE.
Fixed.
Big weapons? Cloud has a big sword but thats it... Ok you can also wonder how Zidane swings the double blades around every time he attacks when they are the same size as him
Some of Squall's gunblades were absolutely massive. Same for some of Zidanes double ended bladed thingies relative to his size. Some of the swords in FFVI (especially Atma Weapon) were longer than the actual sprites of the characters. Plenty of characters have had massive weapons. They're much better for hitting the weakpoint for massive damage obviously.
Yeah of course, Cloud is the ONLY character with a big weapon. :rolleyes2
Actually, you'd be able to find loads of characters with massive weapons since FF7, and at LEAST one in the FFs before then.
Squall definitely has some big swords.
Zidane definitely has some big swords.
Tidus definitely has some big swords.
FFX-2 Dark Knight: Longer than their bodies
FFVIII Squall: Wider that his head
FF7 Sephirtoh: No comment necessary
FF7 Yuffie: "Ouch, my foot."
FFVIII Ward: "Lets ram the castle gates!"
No weapon specialist could be able to wield those even remotely as good as the FF character wield them, and wouldnt be able to even LIFT some of them.
As for WHY they have them........ They look cool!

Actually Yuffie's Shurikun isn't too oversized, although Squall's gunblade is ridiculous.
You're forgetting time period, in order to make a detailed weapon in FFVI they had to buff up the size of the image.
Why?
Simple, people dig huge weapons. They found that out when Sephiroth and Cloud got all of their fans and now their milking it for all its got.
Ehhhhh, shuriken are supposed to be the size of your hand. How on earth is Yuffie's NOT oversized?

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.No, they are many large Shuriken that are use as weapons in Japanese fiction. There are called Fuuma (or windmill) Shuriken
Its like saying Darth Vaders helmet isnt oversized because Darth Helmets helmet was even bigger.
If you mean 'oversized' in terms of to the point where it looks ridiculous even in terms of anime/games, then thats a different matter.

No I'm saying that Fuuma Shuriken isn't just restricted to FF, and Yuffie's is just right considering.....
This conversation actually happened
Little Red Riding Hood Demon: "Oh hero, what big weapons you have!"
Hero: "All the better to slay you with my dear."
Little Red: "But why would you want to do such a thing!"
Hero: "Because you carry Gil in your pockets and help me buy even bigger weapons."
Little Red: "That's very reasonable. Let's fight each other to the death."
Hero: "Yes, quite."
