Why should anyone care for WAR AF1, when it's so useless? So why is it still in the game, considering it's even shitty when you ding into it? It makes no sense for it to exist, so SE should remove it. And remove Garrison while at it, because it's not necessary either. Remove all quests from the game, since no one does them anyway, and remove hundreds of low level items that no one ever uses, along with their synthing materials, yadda yadda yadda. Hell, it's not even "necessary" to do things people are still doing. Why did they add PLD to Caladbolg, when they can DD better with Almace+Ochain? Why did they add mages to melee staves, or why are there melee staves in the first place, who melees with one? This could go on for days.
None of this is about what's necessary, and if you argue that you're completely missing the point. I named why it would make sense that WAR is one there:
- WAR has always been able to use Subduer-type greats words, which is what Caladbolg is (or at least looks like, which is the only way to distinguish him)
- WAR is on almost every other great sword in the game as well, only faussar-types are the exception
- WAR has higher great sword skill than PLD
So, what's the reasons against WAR using it? There's only one I can think of ("it's not necessary" and "it's dumb" aren't reasons), and it's that WAR didn't get two weapon skills that PLD and DRK did get, Sickle Moon and Spinning Slash. However, that doesn't explain how WAR wound up on Ragnarok, but was excluded from this. It's just not consistant. And this (in)consistancy is what bothers me, it makes my OCD act up.
Having said that, I completely agree with people. It isn't necessary, and I wouldn't use it ever. Doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.
