Final Fantasy Dimensions description
Doublehand (両手持ち or りょうてもち, Ryōtemochi?), also known as Two Hands, 2 Handed, Two-Handed, Two-handed, Dbl Grip, or Double Grip, is an ability in the Final Fantasy series that increases the power of one-handed weapons by holding it with both hands. In other cases, said weapon simply requires two hands to wield.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy II[]
While not an explicit ability, the bonus to Attack from a character's Strength stat is based on what they have equipped in their hands. Having only one weapon equipped in a character's dominant hand increases Attack by half of the character's Strength, while having a second weapon or a shield equipped halves the Strength bonus to one-quarter.
Final Fantasy IV[]
The two-handed ability is tied to weapons and simply requires two hands to wield them. All of Cid's hammers and Edward's harps are two-handed, as well as the unused None sword. In the Super Nintendo version, the text that appears when the player attempts to equip a two-handed weapon on a character while they have a shield equipped or vice-versa is cut off. The popup message simply says "To equip", whereas the full message is "To equip with both hands". The formatting of the message is odd, because the coordinates for each line were never updated from the Japanese version, which centers the text.
Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-[]
The Two-handed ability appears on the hammers.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years[]
Weapons that have the Two-handed ability are the hammers and harps.
