FFXI Great Sword 6A

The Ragnarok, a recurring Greatsword.

Greatswords (大剣, Taiken?), 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 Great Sword, the Claymore, the Ragnarok, the Tournesol, the Hardedge, and the Buster Sword.

Profile

Greatswords are swords whose construction are intended to be longer and bigger for uses against cavalry, distanced fighting against foes with range advantaged weapons, and even to slaying monsters of great size. Their sizes can range up to even the size of the very wielder themselves in some installments.
