Giant Family - Final Fantasy (PlayStation)

Giant

Effective Weapons

Members

Fire Gigas, Goblin, Goblin Guard, Hill Gigas, Ice Gigas, OGRE, Ogre Chieftan, Ogre Mage

Ogres and Gigantes make up the majority of the Giant family, though for some reason Goblins are included as well. The Claymore will deal extra damage to them, and is well worth using until you have an Icebrand to use in its place. Giants generally have a lot of hit points and deal a lot of damage, but with the exception of the Ogre Mage, few tricks. They are your staple meatwagon enemies.
