This is a chart of all the weapons in Final Fantasy. The icons next to the weapon names are not necessarily the ones that the Game uses, they're just to make the chart a bit easier to read. The weapons are listed in alphabetical order. The Location column refers to the location where the weapon can first be found or bought; many of them can also be found other in places not listed. A higher Hit% and DMG makes a better weapon. The Masmune, the best weapon in the game, can be equipped by every class; for each class's second best weapon, consult my Characters page.
Some weapons, when used in battle as an ITEM, cast a spell at the enemies or on your party. I have added a chart at the bottom of this page listing those weapons and their uses. Also listed are the strengths of the some weapons versus certain monster classes. NOTE: These strengths, as far as I know (and according to most FAQ's I've read online) do NOT work in the NES version of FF1. These special strengths were listed in the Nintendo Power Strategy Guide as working, but they were never implemented in the NES version, for whatever reason. However, I think they do work in the WSC remake (although I'm not positive about that), so I listed them below.
