Well, yeah. Of course.

Hence the question since I never see spear users in JRPG. Hell, I saw gun users as JRPG protags before spear users.

FemMC in P3P if you count non-canon spin offs.

Spears are sidecharacter material, no MC worth his salt is gunna use that pussy shit.

In DQ8 the hero can specialize in spears but I don't know how good they are, I picked boomerang

spears are the best weapon in DQ8

The main character in EO untold 1 is a spear user, but I don't know if that counts because it's a remake of a game with a customizable main character.

Why not both?

In Tales of Phantasia you can choose from swords (including rapiers), axes and a number of polearms (spears, halberds and so on).
>>
>>318071416
That's kinda hard if we're talking about as a main weapon then I can hardly think of any.

If you mean JRPG MC who can use spear another weapon of choice there's a few more choices.

Although if you still want an example Alc the MC of Arc the lad 2 starts with a spear and are generally his main weapons(Even though he can use other weapons)
>>
>>318071416
Loads of Fire Emblem games.

If the main character had a canon name i'd play it.

you get a low costing ability that always crits and another ability that gives you 20 tension each time you use it

and then there is multistrike which hits a million times

Gungnir
Ar Tonelico 2

I don't mind the ubiquitousness of swords, but the best MC weapons in JRPGS are either everything (like Ashley Riot in Vagrant Story) or really weird, specific things (like say in Mana Khemia).

Persona 3, FemMC.

>>318073457
His canon name is Hitonari Tadano, it's from screenshots on Famitsu and drama CD.

Tadano Hitonari 只野人也, it means "He's just a normal human"
>>
>>318074294

Yeah but the MC is american in the NA release so that can't be it.
>>
How about a JRPG character that uses Chakrams or Tonfas?
>>
>>318074546
A chakram is just an improved boomerang, so DQ games.

Outside of Hector, I can't think of any JRPG heroes who use axes.

Suikoden 2.

If you can read Jap(Or Chinese) Then you can play Zero/Ao no Kiseki who's MC also uses them.
>>
>>318074738
Fuuka from Disgaea 4 uses axes.

>>318075001
I guess I'll check out Suikoden 2 then. Shame mainline Monster Hunter games don't bring over Tonfas. I barely see them represented In video games.
