I put it in spoiler tag.
Axes/Hammers:
(SPOILER)At the beginning of the game, axes/hammers is less seen but later on (Approximately when you're going to get your Velias), axes/hammers shows its true potential. Since then, Axes/Hammers have always been the weapon with the best attack available.
FFXII is different, Axes/Hammers does not have poor accuracy, it can hit like a normal weapon. You can also equip shields when you have axes/hammers equipped (If you equip Spears, Bows or Guns, you cannot equip shields, -less defense-). Here's the catch of axes/hammer:
a) Axes/Hammers can do a damage that is more than 20 swords can do but can also do a damage that is less than a 10 Strength (Stat) character.
b) Don't let them bug you, since I always get high damage instead of low damage, if you're screwed with Axes/Hammers, Sword is your best choices but sword sucked for being way too expensive.
c) Axes/Hammers is also expensive like Swords but worth your money.
Forgive my grammar, please.
