The following is the list of weapons in Final Fantasy IV Easy Type. Some weapons can cast magic spells by using specific equipped weapons from the Item menu during battle. Easy Type simplified the names of items to make it easier for younger Japanese players to read and to help bring the point of certain comments across more clearly.

The attack and accuracy camps show how much of these stats is added to the character's main stat. Some weapons may reduce the stats, while some may not add anything at all. An unarmed character will have a hit rate of 50% and the max hit rate is 99%.

Arrows[]

FFIV SNES Arrow Icon

Arrows must be equipped along with bows for them to work. Arrows with bows are long range.

Arrows equipped without a bow increase Attack by 1. The attack formula with both equipped is (Bow attack power)/2 + Arrow Attack Power + Str/4. An unarmed character's attack power is Str/4 + Level/4, so there is the potential for a loss of attack power when equipping weaker bow and arrows.

There is no visual numerical counter that appears during battle, but the number of hits is use for the arrows upon hitting an enemy. The number of hits is related to the Attack Multiplier a character has. Rosa using the Aim command will ensure that the number of hits will be equal to her Attack Multiplier, regardless of the accuracy or hit rate of the current bow she has equipped.

The number of hits is the number of arrows that appears on the target. It should be noted that the maximum Attack Multiplier a character can have is nineteen, so that is how many the player can see on the target.
