Final Fantasy covers a lot of ground, but you can't beat VI. I'd have to go with Atma Weapon. If it were a sword, I'd say Ragnarok or Masamune.

its Ultima weapon btw
Heartseeker

Bow of Elrond
ShadowCast bow
The one Bow to rule them all :D
Legolas' Home Project
i might think of some more later...
bah, i hate it that i can never remember how to turn the spell checker off, its annoying and worthless. all it makes us do is pad the stupid text with meaningless phrases like this so as to make the fraction of misspelled words decrease. its stupid. i wish there was a button to ignore the spell checker, now there's an idea.

What's Ultima Weapon? If you're trying to correct me, you missed where I mentioned it was from FFVI. That's where you fight Atma Weapon on the floating continent and then pick Atma Weapon the sword which grows in power as you do.

Ragnarok
I used that name for the first 5 years of online gaming. It served me well. It also sounds pretty cool, although all of FF games are based on mythology.

My bad, in the first question my second response, I meant it more in the sense of "are you telling me Atma weapon is wrong?"

Yeah dude, Atma > Ultima. Your both showing your age. But I know where your comming from Brandon. Your right, can't beat VI, sprites pwn.
Did YOU save Shadow?
This was the age BEFORE goofey hair, and every plot having to do with amnesia.
I'd go with:
Finger of Death
Touch of Grace
Angelic impaler
Impaler of Angels
Demonic Pact
Hells Suffering
Hates Fury
Sniper Rifle
Peace Maker
El Cid
Black Knight 2000 (also a GREAT pinball game)
I could go on and on and on.
Ragnarok

And so have a few thousand other people. :)

If you're lazy MegamanV, Ragnarok is the norse mythology for the apocalypse so it would fit an ELBow quite nicely =D

Save Shadow?! Was there any other option for one of the most kickin' characters of all time? Heck yeah I saved him! Crowning achievement was beating the game in 6:17 though.

- "bow before me" lol couldn't resist
- greasy elbow
- string-ed doom
or, if you've played DnD
(http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1179283&postcount=2)
- oathbow (Cuvesta in elven)
its a specific named weapon that whispers “Swift defeat to my enemies” in Elven when nocked and pulled.
just some ideas.

I read somewhere it was "Atma" because Ultima wouldn't fit. Also, I didn't save Shadow the first few times I played through the game - I didn't know you could. I found out on my own, leaving my guys sitting at the edge near the airship until he popped up. I was quite surprised. I also didn't know you could save Cid.
Anywhoo, in Final Fantasy II (I guess it's what, four in Japan?) there was a Samurai Bow, and I think an Artemis Bow. I think "Coin Toss" would be a cool name for a bow, being that's a recurring theme in FFIII/VI.

You should. I meant Cid from the FF collection. But I have no idea where I got the "El" from.

I dunno, if your looking for a better name that what has already been said by others, gl with the task since we are obviosly too closed minded for you. And i hate the spell checker and why dont we have button that says 'turn spell checker off'? Why why why! Also, i think i spelled some stuff wrong and what are your Elven Long Bow stats? I just want to know for know apparent reason.

YOU legoLOST...play on words..legolos..from lotr..lol any get it?
id name it after a projectile...something like
A Fire Arrow, or Flaming Arrows, because then thats what you see. for example:
Minion A was skewered by Flaming Arrows! [52089]
or
Minion A was shot by A Flaming Arrow! [43589]
some other good names are:
ice arrows
poisoned needles
Heartseeking arrows
(minions name)'s sniper bow
an arrow shooting sniper-rifle
or something that describes the other opposing minions, for example:
his wife
his ego
Minion A was shot by His Wife [34985]
Minion A was skewered by His Ego [34498]
just examples, something to play around with.
good luck with your naming :D
