    Btw, I always confuse our posts up when scanning quickly. We look so alike by profile photo lol.
    Me too. I always stop and think "wait, I never said that" lol

    But yeah, I think they did finally introduce grips in XI because of the dual wield situation. Even after they introduced the 2h buffs that brought an end to the "loldrg" days, it still was a bit unbalanced. Unless you were sam, of course.

    loldrg.. :P

    Also in relation to this game, if you can literally duel wield two different weapons then ninjas can meld onto both items with materia usually only allowed in one. I imagine that they might make all ninja weapons come in a set, would feel less ninja-ey though.
