Dual wield when?

[Venur]

That is categorically untrue. https://youtu.be/-1R-xZy-Gb4 That is a video where someone talks about the history of dual wielding across many cultures in history.

Yeah cuz youtube is true.

For many reason duel weild was never used and the major one is that peeple are too tight in a battlefield to use them. Poeple often had no idea who they killed with their weapon.

I don't mean it was never used by anyone. Of course assassin used dual kama in asia. But Dual weild is really a minority in real life compared to what you see in MMO.

I mean you could argue that "forks" were used as weapon, its probably even more popular then any kind of dual weilding ever been.

Yeah cuz youtube is true.

Why don't you do some research before you open your mouth. Matt Easton is the man that you see in the video. Some of his credentials include a degree in Medieval Archaeology and History and a founding member of Historical European Martial Arts Coalition (HEMAC). He has been teaching various historical martial arts since 2k. I am willing to bet this man has far more knowledge and experience than you do in this subject area. Here is his resume.


Just because something is on Youtube, Wikipedia, or The Internet doesn't make it untrue. It just means you may have to do some fact checking. There have been many instances in many cultures of people using two weapons to fight with. Even if someone can find a way to disprove all real world instances of dual wielding we still have precedence in Final Fantasy to have it. The genji glove from FF6 and the Ninja and Dancer classes from FF11 come to mind.
