5 most iconic mainline Final Fantasy weapons

A significant part of the Final Fantasy franchise is that over its 35-year history, it has a wealth of memorable weapons across the various entries. Some weapons have only appeared once or twice but remain impressive, and quite a few have appeared in nearly every game since their first appearance.

Final Fantasy has some genuinely terrific weapon designs. Though these are not the most potent in the franchise, they are among the most iconic designs that even people who don’t play RPGs might recognize.

When it comes to these weapons, the writer focuses on the mainline entries in the franchise. They do not have to be equippable in those titles to count, either.

For example, Gilgamesh brings a collection of swords with him into Final Fantasy XII, which counts for those particular weapons.

While these are not all incredibly powerful swords, some are among the top-tier, end-game weapons for the game in which they’re featured. Nonetheless, when someone thinks of Final Fantasy weapons, there’s a good chance that one of these blades will show up in the conversation.

This weapon is the writer’s favorite design out of the whole franchise. While it’s only been in a pair of mainline entries, it has a truly iconic design.

The blade that Wakka gave to Tidus early in Final Fantasy X, the longsword, also has a hook on end, similar to a hook on a fishing line.

The constant moving water and bubbles under the blade’s surface are mesmerizing and are one of the coolest things about the sword.

It’s seemingly made entirely of water or perhaps has water trapped under the blade. It appears across several side games, but Gilgamesh has a fake version in Final Fantasy XII.

Throughout the history of Final Fantasy, one weapon is almost a sure thing, no matter
