Loretip: Weapon Choice
Everyone in Izo Town has a choice of weaponry, from Grimoire Keeper Morgan's Spellweaving to the Fisherman's Rod. Weapons can tell you a lot about a person's past. Guns are destructive, but require constant upkeep and bullets, which are rare. Mr. Drilby's choice of a Canegun is due to his past in the Army as a General where bullets are plentiful and guns are reserved for elite fighters.
Every weapon choice has its downsides and upsides, but can be balanced out through special techniques or with teamwork. You will usually be able to know someone's weapon just from what they carry on them.
Magic is powerful but uses Mana and the more powerful a spell the longer it takes to cast.
Guns are fast and deal high damage but need bullets and reloading.
Melee Weapons slash fast but you need to close the distance between you and your opponent.
Bows can shoot long range piercing projectiles quickly and accurately but need arrows.
Unarmed Combat is weak at first but a Master can be extremely destructive.
