The weapon you start out with

[Van-Sama]

I was just wondering, what is the weapon you get at the beggining of the games as a warrior?

An Onion Sword, of course....

The blade is made of onion?! Doesn't that seem a little...odd?

[Khaelyn]

If you've played any of the other Final Fantasy games, you should recognize that name....

But yes, it is weird.

Not as weird as Lulu's Onion Knight doll in FFX - that was just creepy.

I thought this was about something else. Well, in case anyone comes in here thinking the same thing, here's my 2 cents.

A War should learn both axes. Why? They both have useful properties. A few quick points.

Great Axe:
- Shield Break very useful from low to mid levels. Elvaans love it when you shield break for them (lowers enemy evasion).
- Hi Damage (great with double attack, and monk counter attk)

One Hand Axe:
- Useful in Weapon Skill Chains. Look at the chart. 1H Axe shows up where the 2H Axe does not - and vice versa.
- Sheild for added defense (tanking)
- A War/Mnk w/shield has 4 defensive rolls when getting attacked: Evade, Counter, Parry AND Shield

Basic stuff, but there ya go.

Does anyone have any screenshots of the union sword in game??
