Conspiracy theory time...

Cecil's weapon in this game appears to be a lance, even the DK version seems to be using what appears to be more of a lance than a sword. Both actually have swords equipped but neither form seems to use them. My theory is that the lance actually belongs to Kain. I think it would be a nice nod to one of the FF favorites and also cause it changes up the play styles more cause only Cecil and Zidane seem to be using weapons that are not swords. :rolleyes2
