Final Fantasy Tactics weapons

The following is a list of weapons from Final Fantasy Tactics and the remaster, The War of the Lions. The extra items introduced in the PSP version received from Multiplayer Mode will be unlocked after the player finishes the game in the mobile version. After the credits have finished rolling, the game will auto-save and all the PSP items will appear in the Poachers' Den. Multiplayer-exclusive weapons cannot be thrown with the Ninja's Throw command.

Some weapons are found as treasures on the battlefields with the Treasure Hunter ability. For the exact location on the grid, see the location article.

Axes[]

Axes can be wielded by Squires, Geomancers, and Onion Knights, though any job can equip them if the character has equipped the ability Equip Axes of the Squire. While Axes have higher attack power and can deal more damage than weapons available at the same time, their damage is random and they can do much less than other weapons. Axes cannot be used with Dual Wield, but can be used with Doublehand. Axes have a vertical range of 2 tiles up and 3 tiles down, and can be bought at castle Outfitters.

They will cast a level 1 spell 60% of the time, level 2 30%, and a level 3 10% of the time. In the PS1 version, the names of the Blaze and Glacial/Glacier Guns were mixed up. Guns have a horizontal range of 3–8 tiles, while having infinite vertical range and 100% accuracy if the line of sight is not blocked by an obstacle. The guns that can be bought can only be done so at the Clockwork City of Goug. The Stoneshooter can be safely used with Reequip so long as the character switches the gun out before the start of the next battle, which will Petrify them.

Other[]

Characters that do not have any weapons equipped will fight unarmed for minimal damage, and damage can be boosted by having a greater Bravery.

The damage formula is:

${\displaystyle DMG=[PA\times (Br/100)]\times PA}$^[1]

If they have the Brawler support ability, innate to the Monk job and also learned for 200 JP, damage is boosted, and the formula becomes:

${\displaystyle DMG=[PA\times (Br/100)]\times PA\times 1.5}$

A unit can be forced to fight unarmed if they are struck by the Knight and Nightblade's Rend Weapon ability or by the Sword Saint, Divine Knight, and Delita's Ark Knight's Crush Weapon ability, or if they had the weapon stolen from them. Unarmed has a vertical range of 2 up and 3 down.

Weapon	Atk	Def	Mag Pwr	Acquisition	Cost
Unarmed	0	0%	—	Anytime	—
	Default weapon equipped when not equip with a weapon.

Unused weapon types[]

Found within the weapons' graphical in-battle sprites within the game's data, there are two unused weapons among the various weapon and shield sprites. The first appears to be a boomerang, while the second is a doll. It is unknown if the doll would have been used as a weapon or a shield, as the graphics contain both intermixed together. The reason for why these equipment pieces not appear within the final product is unknown, but it could be assumed that the developers could not make them return to the owner's hand after attacking a target, much like how boomerangs behave or the doll walking back to the owner.
