Doublehand



Doublehand, also known as Two Hands, 2 Handed, Two-handed, or Double Grip, is an ability that increases the power of one-handed weapons by holding the weapon with both hands. In other cases, said weapon simply requires two-hands to wield.

Final Fantasy IV
The Two-handed ability is tied to weapons, in this game these weapons simply requires two-hands to wield them. All of Cid's Hammers and Edward's Harps are Two-handed, as well as the unused None sword. The text in the Super Nintendo version is missing the remainder of its text, when the player attempts to equip a two-handed weapon on a character while they have a shield equipped, or vice-versa, a popup message will appear on the screen, "To equip". The full message is "To equip with both hands". The formatting of the message is a little odd because the coordinates for each line were never updated from the Japanese version, which centers the text.

The Two-handed ability returns on weapons in the sequel of Final Fantasy IV, the only weapons are the Hammers.
