Why do you humorously reckon the FF characters have such big weapons?

Why do you (preferably humorously) reckon that the characters in the Final Fantasy games have such big sized weapons ?

Because people will buy it.

"Reckon?"

WTF are you, Cid?

He's always about "reckon" this or that. Doesn't matter which FF, except perhaps FF8 and 9 where he probably said something like "By my reckoning" since he's the headmaster of a school for mercenaries and a king respectively. He couldn't sound like a hick in those. I'm sure he'll reckon somewhere in FFXII, I just haven't gotten to the part where he does.

Always with the "reckon," he never stops with that crap.

Because they're compensating for something else.

Ouch... poor Cloud.

That was my first thought when I saw this thread title.

other then like sephiroth and cloud no other ff character comes to mind that was a oversized weapon o.O

Why do Final Fantasy characters have ginormous weapons? Because they are men of ACTION! And women of ACTION! (Let's not forget Yuffies absurdly large shuriken).

Yes they are, Action Figures!

See the physics of the world work a lot better if you assume that the characters are all about the size of a action toy. Cloud's not jumping 500 stories in Advent Children, it's really about 3 feet, no more than you're average grasshopper can do.

Yes the weapons are huge, they have to be or they'll present a choking hazard to children under the age of 3 yrs.

Mog was just being coy.

It's for the same reason as the guy who drives the giant raised-up truck: TINY genitals. I think they get one pixel or something. I know if all I had was an itty-bitty fuzzy cube, I'd probably want to hurt people with a 20ft. sword as well.

Re: Why do you humorously reckon the FF characters have such big weapons?

Lots of people still say "reckon" these days. It's a perfectly suitable word.

They have over sized weapons because it's fantasy and fantasy is all about exaggeration.

They have over sized weapons because it's fantasy and fantasy is all about exaggeration.

Reminds me of the sense of disappointment I felt as a child watching "Peter Pan," seeing the titular character fight off pirates with an effing letter opener. Small weapons just don't seem right in a work of fiction.

Joe Pesci killing a guy with a ball-point pen in "Casino?" Same awkward feeling.

Re: Why do you humorously reckon the FF characters have such big weapons?

I dunno. Killing someone with a ball point pen is kind of badass.

Ya reckon?

I say reckon in RL as part of my everyday vocabulary. Sound like its common in parts of US, even more common in UK.
