Final Fantasy XIV Historia Weapon Comparisons

This is a list of the 7.2 Tomestone weapons next to their original Final Fantasy IX counterparts! Images for the weapons from IX, fun facts, and in-game descriptions are taken from the Final Fantasy Wiki on fandom.

Very long post under the cut. Enjoy!

Historia Sword = Steiner's iconic weapon. (I thought it would be the broadsword, but the hilt is different, and you only see this type of hilt and handguard on Steiner's official design.)

Historia Claymore = Broadsword (Steiner's initial weapon)

Ordinary sword used in combat. - In Game Description

Historia Gunblade = Defender (Steiner's ultimate short sword. Fun fact: This weapon teaches Thunder Slash Sword Art, which is supposed to do thunder damage to an enemy. Unfortunately, it's bugged and only misses.) I was incorrect! The GNB is Zidane's offhand dagger!

Historia Spear = Javelin (Freya's initial weapon. Fun fact: this teaches her the skill Dragon Killer which lets her do more damage toward Dragons!)

Spear used by dragon knights. - In Game Description

Historia Scythe = Lani's weapon. I do not know for certain, but nothing else seems to have the same curve of blade... and if it is Lani's weapon... hell yeah.

Historia Baghnakhs = Cat's Claws (Amarant's initial weapon. The colors and whatnot are different, but the word "Baghnakhs" means "tiger's claws" in Hindi! Amarant also uses a weapon called Tiger's Fangs.)

Ordinary claws used for combat. - In Game Description

Historia Blade = Masamune (Zidane's strongest crafted weapon. Fun fact: This weapon teaches Sacrifice, where Zidane can sacrifice himself to replenish the rest of the party.)

Sword from a foreign land. - In Game Description

Historia Knives = Dagger (Zidane's initial weapon. Fun fact: this is the weapon in which Princess Garnet takes her alias from!)

Weapon used by thieves. In Game Description

Historia Shotels = Mage Masher (Zidane's second and most iconic weapon. The blades placed together even mimic the weapon synthesized from two mage masher's, The Ogre!)

Weapon originally used for combating mages. - In Game Description

Historia Chakrams = Winged Edge (Amarant's strongest throwing weapon. This weapon is also named after Locke's weapon from Final Fantasy VI!)

Throwing weapon, more powerful than the Rising Sun. It is used with the command 'Throw' and cannot be equipped. - In Game Description

Historia Staff = Oak Staff (Vivi weapon.)

Staff made from a legendary tree. - In Game Description

Historia Degen = Save the Queen (Beatrix's weapon, which cannot be removed from her. You can synthesize this weapon later in the game, but no one can use it. It can be thrown by Amarant, but it's... meh.)

Long sword used by holy knights. - In Game Description

Historia Cane = Healing Rod (Dagger's iconic weapon. Fun fact: physically attacking with this weapon heals the target, whether it's an enemy or ally!)

Weapon that can restore target's HP. - In Game Description

Historia Planisphere = Ultima Weapon (This is a stretch, but it's the closest I could find. They have some similarities!)

Considered the most powerful weapon in the world. - In Game Description

Historia Pendulums = Tiger Racket (This is the strongest racket in game for both Dagger and Eiko.)

The most powerful long-range racket. - In Game Description

Unknowns

The books for SCH and SMN are unknown to me. I though perhaps they could be the save book moogles use in IX, but it doesn't appear so.

The WAR, MCH, BRD, and PCT weapons I cannot find matches to. I believe they are just modeled to reflect the art style of IX, which is great! If I am wrong, please let me know and I'll correct this post or make an addendum below.

I would've loved to have seen some of Eiko's flutes used or Quina's forks, though we have the joke weapon that is a fork now. What about you? Are there any weapons you would've liked to have seen put into XIV?

I hope you guys enjoyed this! I love doing this because it allows me to nerd out about one of my favorite things. Thanks for reading!

Why the fuck would anyone want a remake for Final Fantasy VIII or IX? And I don't mean a slightly cleaned up port, I'm talking about what they did to FF VII. No I don't want voices added-- I've had years to determine what those characters sound like, I don't want some patently incorrect voice foisted on them now. Nor do I want new scenes, new mini games, "realistic" makeovers for the characters or any other unnecessary changes that will turn a beloved gaming experience into some uncanny-valley-ed version of itself. If you actually enjoyed these games originally I have no idea why you would want that to happen.

Zidane: I think I'm immortal.

Vaan: Why?

Zidane: I haven't died yet.

Tidus: Holy shit.

[acespeon]

Steiner to Vivi: First rule of battle, little one... don’t ever let them know where you are.

Zidane, shooting out of frame: WHOO-HOO! I’M RIGHT HERE! I’M RIGHT HERE! YOU WANT SOME O’ ME?! YEAH YOU DO! COME ON! COME ON! AAAAAH! Whoo-hoo!

Steiner: 'Course, there’re other schools of thought.

Cloud: Why are you being a little bitch?

Zidane dejected: I can't tear this open...

[square-incorrect]

Zidane: Okay, yeah, I love Dagger! I have loving feelings for Dagger. But does that mean I’m in love with her? No──

Zidane:...

Zidane: I'm in love with Dagger!?!

Zidane, to the rest of the party: Why didn't you guys tell me?

Freya: We all honestly thought you knew.

[hobo-chancellor]

Quina does have a lot of forks though.

[incorrect-ffix-quotes]

Vivi: I can't believe you've done this!

Dagger: I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Vivi: You can't just buy me a gift out of nowhere, now I feel like an asshole.

Okay yall, look. I have an issue with members of the Undertale fandom that I want to discuss. 

Something that really bothers me is on Undertale videos and such where Chara and/or Frisk is referred to as “he” or “she”, if you make the slightest even non-accusational comment about being disappointed they aren’t referred to properly, someone will jump on you and go “Um actually they can be they or he or she cuz you’re supposed to project on themmm” and it’s just factually incorrect from just these two following points.  (quick aside, this is different from the uneducated and often transphobic troglodytes that think “they” is always plural when it has been singular since the 14th century)

One: Chara is referred to as “they” by Asriel, their best friend and adoptive brother. Frisk is referred to as “them” when Papyrus talks to Undyne, as well as Toriel using “them” when they wake up after the fight with Asriel. All stories about the Fallen Human refer to them neutrally as either “they” or “it”. And you can’t use them not really knowing each other as an excuse, because this continues even when characters start using the names “Frisk” and “[whatever the fuck you named Chara]”. These are their canonical pronouns.

Two: This is literally only “projectable” because they are gender-neutral characters, which is ignorant at best and transphobic at worst. That may sound harsh, but tell me, has anyone ever argued that Sora from Kingdom Hearts is a girl because they felt Sora was? Have people argued Lara Croft is a boy just because? You might argue “that’s not fair, those aren’t personalized characters, they have names!” and, okay, then how about this: Final Fantasy IX. The main character can be named anything you want, and the placeholder name is Zidane. I have never seen anyone say Zidane is a girl just because the player feels he is and named him “Lizzie” or something (I mean, he can be Lizzie if you want but it doesn’t make him a girl). And he is about as customizable as Chara, and Frisk is even less customizable. It’s not a tool for projection.

Genderbending is fine (even if it can be a bit cringe, especially when used for the purpose of making a ship specifically straight or gay rather than literally any other reason) and can be really fun and interesting. You wanna write Frisk as a booby murder-girl? Cool. Wanna write Chara as a soft-boy psycho-killer? Awesome. But neither of these characters are canonically male or female, there is no indication that they are meant to be “what you feel”, and they are given pronouns that you don’t choose. It’s more of an issue when those two aren’t the only explicitly they/them using characters. There’s also the Dummy, Mad Dummy (until they become Mad Mew Mew where she becomes she), Napstablook, ghost/pre-body Mettaton, Monster Kid, Gyftrot, and Lesser Dog. These are characters either exclusively referred to as “they”, or also referred to as “it”. There’s also Snowdrake and So Sorry who use all of “they”, “it”, and “he”.

And no one should get up in arms and making stupid “attack helicopter” jokes like dumbass bigots. Let’s remember that this is a game with the biggest romantic couple a bisexual lizard nerd and a badass butch fish lesbian, there’s a cross-dressing male lion npc, Mettaton was gender-neutral before his body, after his body wears dresses and EX is mostly pink and his legs are styled like high-heeled boots, Mad Mew Mew was neutral before her body and then she also had a huge crush on Undyne, and both Papyrus and Alphys go on a date with Frisk. This is not a game that shies away from queerness. Trans-ness isn’t out of the question or even unlikely.

Look, I honestly don’t usually get angry seeing Frisk and Chara referred to as “she” or “he”. I get sad or disappointed, and I’ll either say that or say nothing at all and then move on. But when people see my sadness/disappointment and immediately insist that he/she isn’t wrong, especially when I didn’t say it was, it’s defensive, stupid, and rude, and that is what pisses me off rather than the perceived misgendering of a fictional character. Tbh, you can call Frisk and Chara whatever you want, they’re fictional characters, it’s not the biggest deal, do what you please. But if you use non-canonical pronouns for them, don’t insist it’s canon or you’re correct in doing so. That’s all I ask.

Bartz: Why is everything so expensive?! I swear nothing in this world is free.

Zidane: Man, everything is free if you can run fast enough.
