2 Weapons. Always 2 Weapons. Since I ALWAYS have a White Mage/Sage in the party with 830,000 Level 1 Heals available, taking a little extra damage now and again is no big deal. And besides, when you do so much extra damage, you kill things before they get a chance to hurt you at all. Truly, the best defense is a potent offense - at least in this game :P
