And, just because it looks kind of stupid, Squall's Gunblade in FFVIII.
Gunblade is awesome and you know it.
I don't think FF has especially ridiculous weapons compared to any other fantasy game that tries to add very unique ones regulary. I mean, FFX has dolls, Shadow Hearts has marionettes.
I mean, even Sephiroths Masamune makes sort of sense when you consider he's ultra powerful and fast supersoldier who has very little trouble slashing it through solid steel. It's mildly lampshaded by stating that Sephiroth is basically the only one badass enough to wield it... So he might be using such a inefficient weapon simply because he can.
Buster Sword on the other hand is directly lampshaded in one of Zacks flashbacks, which goes something like this:
Zack and Angeal are standing back to back, surrounded by a horde of monsters.
Zack: "Is it time to use that sword of yours yet?"
Angeal: "...This sword is heavy and unwieldy."
...And apparently he fought with his regular SOLDIER issue sword. Seems there's a reason why it's Clouds worst weapon in VII. =)
It does sort of make sense considering the sword was a symbol for Angeal rather than a weapon.
So yeah, unconventional weapons for unconventional people. However, how does one use a brush as a weapon?
