Fantasy arms...

[G.SummonerBWM]

As a whole, what do you think about the final fantasy armors and weapons? Which weapons were your favorite from which game? This is only for the talk about weapons and armors related only.

A lot of times, I think the weapons are slightly ridiculous. For example, the buster sword. Seriously? How the hell can anyone lift that, let alone swing it with enough force to take someone's head off? It's like as long as Cloud is tall. o.O And the gunblade. How exactly does that work? The suspension of disbelief is at work here.

Aside from that, the weapons are usually pretty cool. I sometimes find it odd when so many fight with swords, while the setting is more modern and there are guns and such (like in VIII). I don't have a favorite weapon out of all the games. In each game, the weapon I like the most is usually the most powerful, and as such, the most useful one.

As for armors, well, I don't really have an opinion on them. There's not usually anything special about them, and there's not usually "ultimate" armors for the characters like there are weapons.

Buster Sword - We are chalking it up to the fact that Cloud is a genetically enhanced super soldier haha.

Gunblade - What I understand from the game is that by pulling the trigger of the gunblade, it causes the blade to shake, creating a Viro-blade like effect

I suppose, but I still say it is ridiculous. ^_^

Apparently the gunblades in XIII shoot projectiles.

A gunblade just seems like something some kid would make up. 'Guns are cool. Swords are cool. So, let's just mash 'em together'. But, the fact that it is Squall who uses it makes it cool regardless of the stupidity.

I think the armor that you wear in FFX is helpful and brings some protection to your characters but they provide some more usefulness in FFXII.

^Yeah, X's armor was alright, with Auto-Phoenix, Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect, and Auto-Potion stuck on 'em. Getting enough of the items to customize the armors was sometimes a pain, though.

i like the brotherhood how it looks like there is water in it thats radical. the buster sword is another fav though it huge whats not to like about it. and it a Classic

[G.SummonerBWM]

I find Aerith's staves preety good. <.> I never was able to get teh Parasol weapon in the Gold Saucer. Made me mad.

[Goldfish]

Eh, I just like Giant weapons. No matter what it is, if it's ridiculously huge, it's cool. Not to mention it also can make one look more of a bad arse. Even Yuffie's Shuriken, pretty cool in my opinion.

[G.SummonerBWM]

I'm more of a stave person anyways. Yuna's staff are so colorful and shows promise. Aerith's staves do to. Now, the weapons in FFXII are unique in it's own ways and has it's own abilities. I like weapons like that. -____- I still can't get Tournesol. Vincent's Death Penalty I love and that's because I have learned that his weapon and Barret's has a glitch that can defeat the Emerald Weapon in one move and can possibly defeta the Ruby Weapon even faster.
