Weapons - Final Fantasy 2
There are 53 weapons in Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster split across six categories. Most early-game weapons come from town shops; mid- and late-game gear comes from dungeon chests or the Mysidia shop. Proficiency levels up by use, so stick with one weapon per character to raise its rank, which improves hit rate and damage.
The three weapons worth planning around:
- Excalibur: hits five enemy types in one swing (Dragon, Giant, Magic, Undead, Beast). Ask the Dragoon’s wife at Castle Deist about Dragoons.
- Masamune: the highest-attack weapon in the game and the only one safe for spellcasters. Drops in Pandaemonium 6F.
- Blood Sword: drains HP on every hit. Hidden in Paul’s house and locked the moment you enter the Cyclone; see the Missables page for the cutoff.
The M.Int column is Magic Interference: how much a weapon disrupts that character’s spellcasting (lower is better for casters). Knives and staves are caster-friendly; swords, axes, spears, and bows all hurt your spells. The Special column flags the seven weapons that cast a spell when used as an item and the thirteen that hit a specific enemy type for bonus damage.
