I like the naginata, it's got reach, slicing, stabbing and it's far lighter than most polearms.

Mine would either be some type of spiked mace/club, because you dont need to learn/train real long on how to use it effectively. You basically bash with it, and the spikes/blunt force does the killing for you. Even Armor doesnt work so well against them, as the force can still cause major damage.




Or the war ax. Choppy goodness that can be used for things other then choppin. Not to mention, when you do get down to the choppin, it causes incredible damage, that you just cant walk off

I dont think so. I blame the anime thing, its terrible looking in my book. Its the main reason I can stand playing final fantasy games anymore, the artwork makes me feel kindda sick

But gloves are made for 2 HANDS! Like a staff. Therefore its not dual weilding. Am I dual wielding when holding my claymore? My battle ax? No sir.
