Why are you using the weapon you have?

[Zorafim]

Right now, I'm using spears and daggers. The daggers, I can probably say, I got into by playing Majora's mask. As dorky as it sounds, Zora link was just cool, and attacking with those fins just sealed the deal. I've been an invert wielded short blade weapon fan since then. Of course PSO helped.

Spears have always been used by pathetic grunt enemies, so I never thought much of them. Then I played FFCC, FFIV, and Fire Emblem more or less back to back. Lilties had an amazing attack animation, and their focus attacks were beautiful. They still used spears like swords, but damn if it didn't look good. As for FFIV, Kain. 'nuff said. Then I saw how beautiful spears were in Fire Emblem were, and I've been a spear fan since then.


What about you guys, any (pathetic) stories behind your weapon preference? Sword users who liked Cloud don't count.

I use my current weapons (5* Sword, 3* Tenora Dual Pistols, and 3 sets of 5* twin sabers of various elements) for a reason I will now explain with this invigorating story.

Being a newman, I already have low ATP, and although I was excited before switching to fighgunner that I had grinded enough to equip my soon to be new weapons, I forgot that I would lose ATP by switching. As such my pretty new weapons are collecting dust in my PM's loving care. That is why I'm using the weapons I do.

Because I have it.

[panzer_unit]

I use every kind of weapon I can get my hands on because I have to.

I've gotta admit that GRM knuckles and the Bogga Danga PA look especially cool.

[Ryoki]

Lances are sweet because of Monster Hunter.
Twin Daggers rule because....of...PSO?

I'm using Rods, Bow, and Twin Dagger.

Rod: Because it makes it easier to support and dps at the same time, if I used a Wand I can't get Resta, Reverser, and offensive techs at the same time. Also because it forces me to go Yohmei, and since I hate choosing this is the better option.

Bow: Because a +7 Compadri is about the same strength as a +0 Hikauri. That, and since I use rods, I need to switch for range... why not use a two-hand weapon here as well.

Twin Dagger: I bought a 50% Dark Twin Stinger +5 for 1500 M. It lets me melee in the Neudaiz Relics, so I use it there sometimes.

I actually use a combination of 2 Twin Handguns, Rifle, and Wands. I also have a single handgun, a good knife, and planning to get crossbows.

While I enjoy the strafing goodness of Twin Guns, I actually engraved it into my character's background. Tynselle actually has a background story (one of which I'll include in the RP topic here, soon enough). Her favorite weapons are Twin Handguns and thus they serve as an extension of her character. Plus, they just plain work with the playstyle I'm going for. It's been fun working with that idea, and it's actually made decision making quite easy for me, as my character increases. I tend to like to give my characters some kind of ambition, and that ambition actually leads your course.

(Kind of a way I work with Western RPGs that give you a ton of choices. You can't get lost when you have direction.) Plus with PSU, I tend to test them out offline before bringing them online. If playing the character seems as fun as playing the style, they're my next pick for online play. I already threw one idea away because it was too traditional, and perhaps played too much to the stereotypes. And if anybody knows me, they know I'm the enemy of stereotypes when it comes to stuff I do.

Double Saber

It hits practically everything in front of you and it's so good you don't even need to PA with it, but when you do you can knockdown monsters (not up and back) for crowd control, or go all out 21+ for massive damage. It's the single most versatile melee weapon in the game. You also don't need to lock onto a monster nor line up to hit multiple ones.

Other weapon I use are twin pistols kubara 6* made off a tenora board. Sleek, black, magnums. Dang those guns look huge.

[etlitch]

I use it, because it's overpowered.
