I'm going to go out on a limb and the Taia Sword and Star Dragon Sword are pretty unique. Not necessarily unique as swords, but in the method that Victor uses them. His stance with them and the way he swings the swords is very unique, the underhanded uppercut if you will. Victor's stance is also an insight into his character which I like a lot. This stance offers virtually no defense which mirrors Victor's personality, Conifdent and Reckless. That's my two cents (I know Im gonna get beaten for actually choosing the weapon that was in the example). Ohhh, and I almost forgot the Star Dragon Sword is the best becuse it talks to u. LOLOLOLOL

I think bow guns are called crossbows but I could be wrong on that.
As for the geese comment, you have obviously never been near a goose's nest or goslings. They attack anything including people that they feel are threatening their young. Sure they look cute but they can be quite dangerous. As in you have to get lots of stitches dangerous. As big a blow to my pride as it is to say this, I'm talking from expierience here. In conclusion geese=badass

Well, I liked Tuta's pebble, just because I really enjoyed seeing him throw "pebbles" to fight. It really made you feel patheticly level-1-like at the beginning of the game having that character as a comrade. I still enjoyed it. I'm odd like that. But it wasn't a useful weapon, except that while the damage Tuta did was barely better than Luc's physical attack, at least he was long distance, so he could survive a little better in combat. That assumes someone other than me was crazy enough to want to level him as much as I did...
But more deffinately Nina's books. unique, yes, but effective too. That unite attack was quite useful for much of the game.
And as far as weapon with a presence, Landis' giant pole-arm-scyth is darned impressive. In gameplay, it's a decent weapon with attack power of around 240 at max. (there are stronger weapons at around 250 and maybe more, but 240 isn't bad. Star Dragon Sword is actually 240 max too.) But looking at the weapon design is wonderful. It has 3 blades. the standard scyth is almost as long a landis is, the end of the staff it's on has a spear tip, and there's an axe blade facing away from the scyth. I think it looks pretty impresive. I'd feel quite in-charge holding that thing. ^_~ |
Don't feel bad, Tuta was even in my party when I went up against Luca, he was damn fun to watch. I also agree with what an amazing weapon Landis's scythe was. I don't agree however, about feeling in-charge while holding it. I'd be scared that I'd drop it on myself, or poke out an eye. On another note, you wouldn't know where I could find a picture of it do you? I can't seem to locate one.

Well in my humble opinion the weirdest weapon of them all is Simone's (From Suikoden II) Roses.
In my entire gaming experience I have never seen any character use flowers as a weapon, so that is at least for me VERY original, the fact that he also throws them in a most certain "unique" way mesmerizes me as well.
He must truly be a "Master Florist" to make that kind of Damage with a Rose, after seeing him make all that mayhem I understood the risk of underestimating the torns of the roses! |
You didn't watch Sailor Moon growing up did you? There was a man in a mask and a tuxedo (I can not remember his name though, it's been a good ten years since I've last watched it) that was always throwing roses around at enemies.
Lastly, my vote is for Branky. Come on, who else attacks with a puppet? Mr. Rogers? It shouldn't be scary but it is. Especially that creepy thing.

His name was Tuxedo Mask.
Though I've only played Suikoden 1 and 2 and read some of the manga of 3, one of the coolest weapons I've seen is Kasim Hazil's sword. Yes there's many swords in the Suikoden series, but his is the only one that I've seen thats the closest to a scimitar.

Besides the unique weapons that have already been mentioned (Nanami/Hero 5's three-section-staff and the Chef's cooking appliances), I am a big fan of Yoshino and Sanae Y's weapon, the naginata.
I read the history behind this weapon and apparently the naginata is a popular weapon among women; training with the naginata reflected virtues associated with women of the samurai class. During the Edo period wives of the samurai were expected to have capability to wield the naginata in order to protect their homes and children when their husbands were away at war.
Yoshino and Sanae Y. are the only characters in the Suikoden universe who wield this weapon and is one of the reasons they are my favorite characters who I often had in my party.
Statistically, Yoshino is more adept to combat than her wimpy husband, hahaha. |

Clive's Sturm.
It's not really a spectacular sight to see being used in battle - although in the original it looked much more like a shotgun blast when fired, which is cool - but it's clouded in mystery. Rumors about it having a Rune with an own will dwelling inside or it being the gun version of the Star Dragon Sword peak my interest in the history of this gun. |
I knew someone was going to beat me to it.
In Suikoden one, and world of swords, bows and shields... Clive enters the war very late armed with a shotgun, the first time I saw that I was like WTF this guy is crazy!
In Suikoden two, the "shotgun" got turned into a "rifle" type, where you clearly see him aim that thing. He also can take multiple shots in a couple seconds, which I don't believe is possible with a shotgun.
That, and the whole Rune thing, makes Clive crazy-interesting... as far as some 500-odd characters by now are considered.

I thought in Suikoden I Clive's gun was more like a Blunderbuss....?
I though Hai Yo's Wok was pretty creative. Also, someone used a wrench in Suikoden I correct. Pure Gold. Oh, and Blackman used a Spade didn't he? That was unique.
Err....Oh, Gabocha's slingshot, I never get tired of watching him slay hundreds of Well-trained Highland soldiers with a....slingshot.
Oh and...Ace's...Sai I think they were called in game, were damn cool too.

Ace's sais and Clive's gun were great I like SII Riou's Tonfas and Jowys weapon is definitely a throwback to Tir but hey like I always say two swords rules(Killey in SII) but if you want strange weapons check out SV that one is full of Chakrams, Three-piece rods, Naginatas, 4-sided crossbows and three sided boomerangs.

| The most interesting and original weapon has to be Simone Verdricci's rose. I mean, come on... who else would fight with a freakin' rose in a war? Who else would fight the Beast Rune and Luca Blight with a flower as a weapon? No one else but Simone Verdicci! It certainly is hilarious if you ask me. But the best part about it is that you actually get to upgrade the rose with the help of a blacksmith! Now that's something never been done before: A blacksmith forging a rose to be used as a weapon. |
