An oar is such a stupid weapon, especially for the main character.
>>
Seems pretty cool to me. Repurposed tools as weapons is a fun trope.
>>
yeah and while we're at it spears are dumb too, and quarter/bo staves too main characters should only have swords and nothing else
>>
Complaining about the weapons? That's a paddlin'
>>

>main characters should only have swords
Only katanas

It's a reference to an anecdote where Miyamoto Musashi was supposedly fighting his arch-nemesis and his sword got knocked away, so he picked up an oar and started Jackie Chan-ing with it.

He should see his doctor about his leg tumors

Would be cool if there was a gun attached to each side. A gunoar.

It was an oar? I thought it was some kind of bladed staff thing.

A major theme of the game is the ocean of course it's a fucking oar.
>>
>>11107614
>Oars made of stone and steel
Ok man, sure.
>>
>>11106801
you havent seen me in blade and sorcery then
oars are completely valid weapons and over powered and over looked by all but the most skilled and accomplished of fighters.
>>
>>11106801
Disagree. Also I literally wrote the book on fighting and you're a pussy faggot.
>>
>>11106801
I always thought it was a twinblade. But an oar is basically a quarterstaff anyway you spastic retard.

"In short, the Way of the Ichi School is the spirit of winning, whatever the weapon and whatever its size."

Sasaki Kojiro was not even the first man the Sword-saint instakilled with a piece of wood.

You want me to stop? Oar what?

Why can't I simply play as a twink that uses a gigantic two-handed axe?

Why is the San Francisco bridge in the background?
>>
>>11106801

after all these years I just know realized that thing is an oar.
>>
>>11109097
Why not?
>>
>>11106801
The better question is, why did the game call it a swallow? A swallow's a bird.
>>
>>11109136
because the events of the game are kicked into action when schala, from across space and time, fractures the timeline so she can be reborn to SWALLOW serges load. its all very japanese

You know how people in this thread are talking about how Miyamoto Musashi famously beat the shit out of a guy with an oar? That guy was Sasaki Kojiro, who's (supposed) trademark move was called the Swallow Cutter, because it was a slash that changed direction so quickly it could feint and cut a swallow out of the air (or maybe he just pulled out a short sword and stabbed his opponent while they were focused on defending his big sword).

What the allusion has to do with Chrono Cross is anyone's guess.

Mongols only "lost" to natural disasters. Divine intervention is the only thing that saved nips from getting KHANNED
