Behind the scenes[]

Ta2grenades

Hidden in the game codes is a sixth set of ranged weapons—Grenades—which were to be the class specific weapon for the nu mou job, Transmuter, which was removed due to testing issues. If hacked, jobs that can use all weapons, such as Chocobo Knight, can use them, but they are all at 0 for all stats and titleless, suggesting they were not fully developed before the Transmuter job was removed.
