Line 91:
** Swords and knives are not the same thing in that their different sizes and weights mean your fighting style with one won't be the same as your fighting style with the other. Try fencing with a knife.
** Saying swords and knives "are the same thing" is a [[Critical Research Failure]], plain and simple. Hell, two swords of equal length but different styles alone are going to be very different weapons to wield.
*** OP: Well, I meant that knives like Daggers look like shorter Short Swords, but you did make a good point. But, then how come all classes can equip the [[BFSBig Freaking Sword|Masamune?]] Even the Black Mages and White Mages can use it, so why can't they use the other swords?
*** My guess is because it's the [[Infinity+1 Sword]] of the game and Square wanted to make sure the player could use it with any party configuration.
** Training. Mages tend toward simple weapons because most of their time is spent learning magic, rather than the arts of war. But if you still insist, go out and spend the $450 get yourself a (cheap) blade, and a log. Then try to get the blade to bite into the wood with a horizontal swipe.
