Greatsword (weapon type)



Greatswords, are a recurring type of weapon in the Final Fantasy series. The weapon class often features in games with some sort of speed statistic, where the Greatswords are stronger than the normal sword types, but make the user slower. However, Greatswords are usually equipped as two-handed weapons. In essence, Greatswords are stronger and heavier versions of the ordinary swords.

Recurring Greatswords include the Greatsword, the Claymore, the Ragnarok, the Tournesol, and the Hardedge.
