weapons rank speeds

[Skuda]

I've heard that weapon types increase in speed as they grow in rank. I thought this was just a rumor, but lately, I've been trying to see for myself.

Weapons APPEAR to become faster as you increase the rank. But I'm still not 100% sure.

I am unsure if it is just the PA that speeds up, the weapon, or both.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

Mm. Since that one update we had, I've noticed that some weapons have decreased in DPS.
The chance isn't much, but to someone who's been using a certain weapon like crazy, it's noticeable.
Axes and Spears were decreased.

If there was a speed decrease i didn't notice it lol. (why does sega keep hating spears so much? FF are getting the wrong end of the stick)

Spears keep getting tones down because they were obscenely better than anything else on bosses. They still are, just not by as much. It's not like the made them suck or anything.
