One of the many joys of combat-based RPGs is playing around with weapons. The more we have to choose from, the better. This has always been the case with the Final Fantasy series.
With the release of Rebirth this week, fans of the franchise will be treated to an eclectic plethora of weapons. From human-sized swords to guns that slot onto arms, fans of the original will be aware of how bonkers the weaponry of this world is.
