It looks damn awkward if you try to swing or do some drastic/dramatic movement.

It is okay for casters to hold their staffs with 2 hands while in stationary positions but during casts, it is really awk and movement restricting to constantly hold it with two hands.

Looking back at other FF titles, staff users like Yuna (her staff is actually heavy on the top logically speaking and thus not easy to swing at all due to weight concentrating on the other end of the pole) casts one handed (ie. the famous "the sending" cut scene etc).
