Over the past 35 years, Final Fantasy games have featured hundreds upon hundreds of different weapons. Many are rooted in high fantasy, having traditional roots, but as the franchise has built-out, so too did the imagination of the developers who were responsible for crafting the weapons of destruction. Today, we're running through some of the weirdest and they come from all over the franchise.

@Vincent Valentine I definitely think cactuars could be called "mascots"
When it comes to weapon diversity, FF really has all the Bells and Megaphones.
No mention of Relm’s paintbrushes from 6?
I always liked Lulu's dolls.
Ace from Type-0 of one of my favorite characters, and he uses cards.
Lulu's dolls are one of my favorite weapons!
Cait Sith's Megaphones were weird, and there's also Vanille's Binding Rods (I looked up the name). Officially they are a rod, but the wires that swing off them are designed to bind the enemy.
That was forshadowing for the cutscene where she needed to catch a ride.
I'm surprised that Measures from FFXII didn't made it into the list: The characters wield literal measuring tools as weapons, which do very low damage but grant positive status effects to the target, be it ally or foe.
Yeah. I wonder are there people out there that really make use of it? I feel like there's some kind of secret to them.
Agreed. After the Mop from FF7, those were the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the video title.
@@s-wo8781 yes. I used them occasionally. I would use it to give effects to my team instead of wasting time casting magic. And if I remember correctly there was a strategy using reverse or something like that, which made it really good. The original ff12 was so intentionally broken in certain ways, that there was a lot of crazy broken strategies.
I was hoping for the dictionaries from Tactics, myself.
abacus stabacus
Shout-out to all my fellow Carriers of the Kettle!
Those Zodiac weapons... *shudder*
A fellow brother o7
Bahahahahha I never saw this but then I never played monk , might have too try it out I wanna be apart of the kettle mafia
When a monk offers you a drink
REFUSE!
Man i want those kettles for my monk but i shudder at the absolute grind needed for those.
The Kettle Knuckles....You've skipped half of it. You need to complete an ARR relic first before that quest even pops up.
That Kettle Quest was a worthy break from that grind for a single ARR relic weapon. The grind was real (kind of still is but pretty can solo 99% of it these days).
Fuck that quest line. I got my SCH weapon. Not gonna do it for anything else.
@@shoulditryit3564 the Atma books isthe only particularly nasty steps at this point. If only because it's so ridiculously slow. The light step isn't bad because even DPS can solo Bahamut fights in level 90 gear.
I remember doing so many FATES. For me, the Animus part was a drag. I think it was because of all the searching for specific enemies and FATES.
I'm confused, when does Bahamut come into play for the Zodiac weapons?
@@shoulditryit3564 The light collection at the Nexus stage. You get a lot of points by doing higher difficulty, relevant fights. Unsync solo Bahamut turns or extreme trials with your relic to gather aether.
I don't remember the fates for Animus being particularly heinous, but I did them all in Heavensward, after they massively bumped the drop rate. Maybe I was spoiled.
Final Fantasy 14 has MANY weird and comical weapons, for sure. I still startle a bit every time I see that Conjurer staff that LOOKS BACK AT YOU. If I remember right, it also makes a unique sound if you auto attack with it - most staves get a "bonk" sound effect but I think (and I could easily be wrong) that staff yelps "ouch!"
And I screeched out CHICKEN KNIFE when that showed on screen. Both the silliest thing in my glam collection AND the most awful attack in Shadowbringers as far as I'm concerned. I died SO MUCH to that darn knife in Heroes Gauntlet >.
Omfg someone linked that in fc chat and I never wanna see that weapon again!
What's the name of that conjurer staff?
@@Reaper1722 I don't remember the name, but I recall it's a low level weapon, perhaps 40ish, and I think you can find it in the market board
@@Reaper1722 the Dryad's Cane!
The upcoming Manderville weapons in FFXIV might crack this list if they wind up being the joke winners of the weapon design contest. Be ready for the update video lol
You could fill this list with FF14 alone. I mean we had a moogle on a dinner fork in the intro clip. I also jest that an actual mid-50s crafted Dragoon weapon, Mythrie Pugil Stick, is a giant shower curtain rod.
@@jaeusa160 It even extends when drawn to fit any shower!
Lol this is exactly what I thought when I read the title of the video.
All the moogle weapons are wonderful. My favorites are the books-when you go into attack stance the book opens up while making a ‘wub wub wub’ moogle sound.
Gah I feel like they’ll start like that and then godbert will make the final weapon top tier
I love unorthodox weapons. Books, dolls, musical instruments and conductor's batons... all solid stuff
I feel like XII's measures are some of the most bizarre non-joke weapons in the series
Not the first one to say it, but I would include Rinoa using her dog as a projectile, technically not an equipable weapon, but one of the weirdest things I've seen to date
She wasn't the first to do that, but considering dogs can be trained to do attack like that, it isn't really all that weird.
Imagine making this list and not including something like the Abacus
FFXIV has a LOT of weird weapon designs and I love it!
I'd say the Bells used by the Geomancers of Final Fantasy III are weird, but that job class is one of the game's best.
FFIV had some strange ones. Edward's harps. The spoon that doubled as the most formidable thrown weapon for Edge. Also, in FF6, Relm's paintbrushes.
Oh, that's right. I forgot about the brushes. That's up there with books as weapons.
FF7's Mop is also a weapon in Chrono Trigger and yes in Chrono Trigger its Crono's WORST weapon stolen off of the Nu enemies in 65 million BC.
Express myself by killing literal incarnation of despair at the edge of the universe with a pair of fork
Wakka’s Blitzball
Cait Sith’s megaphones
Cid’s mop
Rinoa’s dog Angelo
Good video - but for whatever reason, you didn't show Lulu using high level spells and her dolls emulating her movement. you only showed her cast Fire lol
Vanille's net orb in XIII was kind of weird. She just finds it lying around near the beginning of the game.
I thought the implication was since she had been there before she knew where she supposedly hid it when on the run.
Quina and the forks all the way. s/he hit hard with those things!
Quina's forks would probably be more effective if they were practical tridents instead of weird scaled-up table forks.
Wakka hitting a giant whale monster with a ball was kinda wired tbh
it had knives on it!
@@gorimbaud Only some of them had spikes
@@skarloey1214 i feel like it's more like "only some of them _didn't_ have spikes", but if you liked playing playing blitzball you weren't fighting sin without the world champion, which had knives on it
I was thinking about the first fight on the boat were it was just Sins fin. Wakka would most likely only have his original blitzball at that point
@@Martyn-fon-Rosenberg Yeah, that's true. But when a giant whale monster rocks up to fight you, you gotta use what you have. I think that instance did teach Wakka the lesson that he's gotta put knives on it before next time.
The afrosword seems really cool
in FF4 there was a spoon that was a throwable for Edge called a Spoon in the US version (a kitchen knife in Japan) that did 9999 damage.
stave
1. A narrow strip of wood forming part of the sides of a barrel, tub, or similar structure.
2. One of the wooden planks in a stave wall.
3. A rung of a ladder or chair.
Great content, guys! I just got my Monk kettles like two weeks ago. Had no idea what I was getting until I saw them! Lol
Also, I had no idea about the Afrosword....I think I'm gonna have to fire up the brofest again soon to get it. :)
Me: I want those kettles!
FFU: ‘starts describing how to obtain them’
Me: NOPE! I ain’t doing that BS again! I still have PTSD every time I step inside a book store!
I did them during the wait for EW at lvl 80, took me about 3 hours to get them.
@@DLMoridin sounds about right, I did the quest right after ARR, and got to lvl 90 from doing it.. lmao a literal quest if you enjoy pain.
@@DLMoridin Is it that quick? been putting it off for ages cuz i thought it would be weeks of grinding to get
@@DiafolEternal if your level 80/90 have already done a arr relic and have a full stock of poetics you can litteraly get through it in about 3-4 hours for the Kettle Nexus weapon. all the other arr relics still take ages thou
i always thought Deuce from Type-0 using flute as a weapon is... weird.
Knowing y’all stick to one entry per game when I saw Lulu’s dolls, I knew Wakka’s blitz all was out. It’s funny why they decided to make a soccer ball into a weapon.
I clicked on this video and came to the comments to see what ppl were saying about wakka. Shame he didn't make it over lulu. But seriously what is a soccer/volleyball gonna do
It’s hilarious early on watching him throw the standard Blitzball like 100 yards to hit Sin on the boat
The kettles are honestly more of a flex than anything else, for how insufferable they are to farm for. I have a great respect for anyone that has them, cause I surely don't have the time to get them, myself. Haha
when they came out I was capped on allied seals, so took no time at all
Vanille's weird wire thingy always confused me as to how it was supposed to work 🤔
Me too! What would you even call that? Lol
@@Michael_Schlapp I always thought it was supposed to be some sort of fishing rod
I came here expecting this weapon on the list, my best guess was it was some sort of hunting weapon that would reel out and throw hooks into prey but who knows. Cool af design though.
Thought it was a jump rope
Strange though it was, I liked it. The rest of the party had pretty standard weapons.
I love some of the strange weapons from Tactics. Attacking an enemy by reading a book at them is probably tops.
the MNKs Tea Kettles aren't weird. They are perfect for my Barista Glamour Set. I think they are TEA-riffic weapons.
Dont forget the Handbags from FFT 🤣😂
I'm a little surprised Wakka's Blitzballs didn't get a mention
I always thought wakkas bladed blitzball was alot weirder then lulus dolls
Yes! I’m glad the Mop made it to this list aside from the other mentioned weapons. The mop definitely was the most memorable in FF7.
Zidane and Gabranth had Twinblades which I haven't seen very often except by Groh of Soul Calibur VI.
I use those kettle pots every new expansion when I have to level Monk again :D they're so funny!
The Euclid's Sextant in FF XII.. I aint got time for that shite
I can’t imagine being a monk and doing the ARR relic quest only to learn you could get the kettle knuckles as well. Like do you show off the weapon that cost a lot of time and in game money or the kettles which is a bonus award on top of acquiring the relic weapon?
When Blitzballs aren't even the weirdest weapon from FFX.
The FFXIV monk's kettles nexus are my absolute favourite monk glam I worked hard for the lulz factor years ago and will never let them go.
the FFXV final camp scene can't hurt you. It can't hurt you.....lol
it will always hurt me
A magic class that uses dolls would be kinda cool.. maybe they can be called the puppeteer?
Controlling the doll to attack and cast magic
And you can put them down and the puppeteer can move their arms around to make them attack
If I'm right FFXI has the puppeteer class, but I don't know what does it do
If we are to include non mainline titles, FFBE has a few ones like a bouquet (axe) and a microphone stand (hammer), and while not really weird but just interesting, FFT has bags.
X-2 has microphones as well for the Songstress job and the auto attack is just whacking the mobs with it lol
Maybe not as obvious because they're not a "weapon" but dolls also appear in FF4 after years, I thought that should get some kind of mention
Love the video keep up the good work
Opera Omnia has a few that are basically paid skins that come with gems.
A paddle (sword), giant pumpkin lollipop and snowboard (greatsword), chocobo themed popsicle and a fan (gagger, presents (thrown weapons), a sunflower (Staff), cactuar (gun)...
And then there's "source material weapons" that are associated with a given character, such as Cait Sith's megaphone, Yuffie's Paper Cranes, Y'shtola's stick, Lulu's doll, wakka's ball, etc.
Forks were reference to FF4. In one of the older translations, Fork was the ultimate thrown weapon.
Special shout-out to the Cactuar Sword in FFXV Pocket Edition! The sword… is a Cactuar. Watching Noctis swing a Cactuar around for beaucoup damage is loads of fun. I rarely play with other weapons.
Alas, it doesn’t appear to be in the full FFXV game.😢
the kettle knuckles were added as pure glamour because of when they were added, also the resources required to get em, never actually used by anyone in 14 unless they were lvling a young monk alt job
7:35
Yuffie: "Why you gotta bring up old shit?"
I totally missed the afrosword, it's amazing!
No mention of the Chanel Bag, Prada Bag or Hermes Bag from FF Tactics?
Butler's set+Kettle knuckles=Best monk glam.
Trumpets/microphones and hair pins from FF7 too
I've wanted a list like this!! THANK YOU! Sub'd.
I still love FFT's bags, lol. That was the best thing and how fun it is to see this female-only weapon used in-game.
I always thought the books and fabrics from FFT were odd. Even the animations were strange.
Recently I just found one playing FFXV Comrades, the Deck Brush from Cindy! Could really fit on the list XD
I thought they shut down the Comrades servers. Would be very cool if they didn’t, that was fun yo play
Slapping enemies with books in Final Fantasy III is definitely unique to the series.
You mentioned cards, but no mention of their function in FFXI for Corsairs, being items usable to empower Quick Draw, the "blackjack" double-up/bust mechanic for Phantom Roll, and the overall aesthetic of the job. Quick Draw, Phantom Roll, and Wild Card are such neat abilities :/
Books. In FFIII you just attacked by hitting the enemy with them, which....works, it's just weird that they have higher attack power than staves and rods.
In Tactics, they're ranged weapons, not because they're thrown, but because you attack by reading.
There is a real world weapon called a chicken saber used by practitioners of xin yi chuan. While of course it doesn’t operate like the chicken knife it’s still interesting that there is such a thing. I wonder if it may have served as inspiration
I remember when I first played Phantasy Star Online. The Frying Pan was an interesting weapon as were the Fluorescent bulbs.
How is a blitzball not on this list?
Megaphones
The Afrosword is really cool
@Final Fantasy Union maybe u can help?.I just watched The History of Final Fantasy VII (A Retrospective Review) from 2 years ago.I'm curious what was the piano music used in that video?
It's me, Cloud Strife and I've got a big paintbrush or whatever.
I made it!!! kupo
what is the whm staff you showed at 0:58
Dryad Cane, obtained from The Stone Vigil :)
I live for unconventional weapons. I love taking things that are gags and making them a threat.
Frying pan in FF4, that stands out to me, although it is just a throw weapon.
Can you discuss about the Elements next?
Good idea
Hm I do recall how Afrojack apparently made a remix for FF8. Fingers crossed if the Afrosword will appear in FF8's remake. Man I loved Tactics and 8 for the ps1
I kinda wish you considered Kingdom Hearts as well, because the Casual Gear (and to a lesser extent, the Mystery Gear) from KH:Days would've been perfect. Casual Gear gives Demyx a tennis racket named "Prince of Awesome" instead of his Sitar and Lexaeus a giant squeaky hammer toy named "Bleep Bloop Bop". The joke weapons from that game are mint
the kettles are actually so easy to grind. I did it in like 2 hours. instead of the demanding several days it takes to grind to grind the zodiac relic you need to do first which will also cost you like a million gil easy unless you're an Omni crafter too.
Nouliths are weird weapons. Magic channeling drones that shoot lasers. Imagine a sage performing field surgery with those.
One could actually argue that the Mop joke weapon technically originated in Chrono Trigger.
Was I the only one who didn't find Lulu's Dolls weird? Did people not know about Voodooism prior to playing FFX or what? She shouldnt even be on this list. If anyone had a weird weapon of choice in X, it was Wakka and his balls
Cid's Mop is my favorite weapon.
"improvise" -Dinobot, Beast Wars
A video i love is your video on 7 strongest random encounters and i think that sequel could be interesting
(Old) Maplestory: "Hold my beer"
If X is the first installment with "doll" weapons...explain Cait Sith? Vivi? 😝
Cait sith isn't the Weapons his Weapons are horns.
How is Ward's harpoon from FF8 not on this list?
harpoons are normal weapons...
@@Kougeru Giant, anchor sized harpoons that you throw and then retrieve to throw again most certainly aren't.
@@Askeletontrappedinamanbody damn I forgot about that and I think his limit break caused him to drop it on his enemy while standing on it if I recall correctly
harpoons are common dragoon/lancer weapons in the series
@@FuraFaolox Pretty sure those use spears and lances. A harpoon is ammunition, not a weapon.
While merely a thrown item only, I'll give an honorable mention to the kitchen knife 🔪 from Yang's mom in FFIV. One guaranteed 9999 damage hit! It's also known as a spoon in older translations, similar to ye Olde spoony bard, making it even better.
Watched to see if the mop was on the list. 😁
I literally just did the kettle quest last week lmao classic
Lets goo new video
I have a demons hand camo for my Talis on pso2, I always fix it to my bottom to look like it is groping me...
Of course for laughs.
Frying pan : FInal Fantasy IV
Definitely the pinwheel
Measures
With a name like Afrosword, I was expecting the blade to be made from hair in an afro style.
In ff7 the weapon you get in the last dungeon of disc 1 is a baseball bat with nails. From a super ancient ruin.
