    Default thieves that cant even duel-wield

    i was playing ff6 and tried to get locke to use two weapons but he can't also in ff5 thives cant i tried to get bartz whose a thife to try and duel wield but he cant then i realize in ff5 duel wielding is a warriors ability but in ff4 edge is just like locke and he can duel wield oh and in ff3 the ds one all classes can duel wield like dragoons dark knights ninjas thieves anyways im just finding it strange that in most game u cant duel wield with thieves or they can only use daggers and not swords but atleast they can all steal and in ff1 they can use black magic after the class change o yeah in ff1 they cant duel wield either hm this is a very pointless piece of writing yes yes it is

    I'm thinking your thread would be better suited to General FF.

    Thieves don't dual wield. Ninjas and Genji Glovers can. FFX-2 is a farce, and don't you believe it for a second.

    Ninja's dual wield, not thieves. That's why Edge can. In FF5 the Ninja's also dual wield. And for the record, slap a Genji glove on anyone in FFVI and they can use two weapons.

    "couldnt steal anything" was the usual answer

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    Hah, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure you spent more time in FFIX "trying to steal, but failing 85% of the time" than any other game. So yeah, dual wielding stealing doesnt work too well according to FFIX, which would be why most thieves leave one of those hands empty for obvious reasons >

    only on certain bosses

    and they usually had shields rather than an empty hand.

    Stealing was pretty successful in ff9 if you focused everyone else on attacking and zidane on stealing. usually he could steal at least one thing before the enemies died!

    (obviously I had a very powerful whatever that attack was called by the end of the game 8))

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"
