Why do you think the characters in FF games,have such big weapons?

[Croyles]

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.
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.....

The Fuuma Shuriken is best fitted for use when each blade is then length of one arm, preferably just shorter otherwise cutting off your arm while throwing it would be almost certain.

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!

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.

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
