Fav Weapon

for me, it would have to be the DarkSword. in all incarnations of FF the fact the darksword has stolen HP to cause more harm to opponants is cool and could spawn a fantasy novel in itself. FFX2's darkknight was an extention of this.

the gunblade.....now i we had a DarkGunBlade lol

two words, Atma Weapon

Agreed.

[Snowman]

actually pies...you can, with another lightsabre that said the fightin in SW was so horrendus and they couldnt even think out how you would actually weild such a weapon effectivly and to it's best technique.

[TasteyPies]

Mmmm Two atma weapons, Genji Gloves are awesome (Drool)

[Rase]

Crystal Sword

[sephiroth21]

[Del Murder]

Actually that isn't true...some hardcore FF fans who had some welding skills made a Masamune replica that weighed a measily 6 pounds...was about 78 inches in length including the handle which itself was about 18 inches. It was all one piece too so the handle/blade wouldn't be weak or wobbly. Still, it would be hard to carry around and use without cuttinig the guy next to you in two...but the fact is, it IS weildable...and so is the buster sword, btw.

Just try to keep in mind that the steel would have to be very thin...because a 2 inch thick buster blade would obviously make the weapon unweildable...but the Sephiroth sword I described above had a 1/4" thick blade at most. Using the same thickness for the Buster would make it weildable...unfortunately other measures would have to be taken to insure the strength of the blade. Well, if the weapon(s) in question are made form pure carbon steel, then you could get away with a thin, lightweight, and surprisingly weildable weapon...though hard to carry ;P

[Snowman]

im afriad making it doesnt make it weildable....by which i not only mean you can swing it but fight with it. ive trined in broadsword for 22 years....i currently teach it and my farther makes real swords so i do understand.

a sword....especially a katana at that length would be unseuable for many reasons...mostly because teh whole purpose of a katana is to cut with the draw from teh scabbord or swing rather than the broadswords chop. certainly you wouldnt be able to fight with it unless you were battling on an open field with no allies.....but you wouldnt wound your enemy either since all your streatgh would be going into NOT allowing it to be knocked aside. even if teh sword is leight....your ability to fight with it wouldnt be and even with the proper technique for a two hander....you would have an almost impossible job. whats more theres no point as even the basicest trained person would be able to parry the first blow and before you could move teh thing he would step in and you would be dead. the blade flowing into teh handle is called the tang....without this ANY sword will simply break.

it doesnt matter how thin or thick the buster sword is....it's wiidth in simple breadth from edge to back would make it unsuable in a real fight. im not just trying to say your wrong....i teach people to really fight with real edged weapons and also all the skills and abilitys to control yourself so you dont go to hospital unlike many others.

ignoring the fact most people carnt fight with a two hander because of teh skill you need.....if a murasame was made as real katanas are it would be broken easily as they are only any use fighting other katanas

[skatehippie]

Awesome points dude...

but I wasn't exactly picturing a real sword-to-sword fight...I'm thinking like you're with two people taking turns hitting a monster...negating the laws of real life swordplay.

But this makes me wonder...does Squares' weapons only fall into two catagories: realistic and magical? I always figured that those two were the basic factors behind the weapons...as in, swords, staves, etc. are realistic, whereas dice and dolls and whatnot would have to be magical. But with this argument of the Masamune, is there a "middle" catagory where some weapons are slightly realistic but are inevitably magical because of their inefficiency in real life?

I'll accept Seph's weapon as being finally and utterly unweildable, therefor magical based...but I HAVE seen a replica of the Buster, whilst being used correctly as well.

So what other weapons fall into that "iffy" catagory?

Gunblade - I think it can be done
Blitzball - Uhh *flashbacks to 3rd grade dodgeball* I can see how you could use a ball to inflict pain...but having it ricochet back to you is another thing
Pinwheel - And it's supposed to behave like a boomerang? Riiiight

Oh, and to actually contribute something OT, my favorite weapon is a staff that is dual-edged somehow. I love Baralai's from X-2, how it has the a ring at each end.
