To Grit,

Well in fact in FFXI you would gain about the same TP per second and DPS as any other jobs weapon in terms of just the weapons' stats. At least then it felt like something tangible. Now you just see someone swinging away at the same time as if there is none of Newton's laws at work.

"Man....That axe sure is big, yet you're swinging it like it's weightless!"

It seemed much more appealing that it took two swings from a Thief's dagger to equal the swing from a Dark Knight's scythe.
