Final Fantasy IV: The After Years weapons

This is a list of weapons that appear in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

Some weapons can cast magic spells, this is done by using certain equipped weapons from the Item menu during battle.

It is possible to encounter a bug that prevents equipping certain ultimate weapons found in the final dungeon; this can be remedied by resetting the game.
