    Same for the bows. Some of the english longbows used in the middle ages were nearly 7 feet long. So this is actually quit realistic and not oversized.
    Well, that's true, but medieval English archers didn't have to run around in dungeons and other tight spaces, engaging enemies at close range, constantly shifting position. And I'm telling you, that one bow was like eight feet long, well over "nearly seven feet".

    So, bows in this game are oversized.

    I don't have a problem with this; things do tend to be a little over-the-top visually in Final Fantasy games. This has been obvious since FF7 introduced 3D models and you could really see the size of Cloud's sword in a realistic-looking environment. This, really, is the point I was trying to make.

    Edit: And weapons can be glamoured, can't they? If the size of your weapon bothers you, why not use a smaller weapon for a glamour?
