Cloud Strife butcher knife life is superior easier to be a badass with compared to LITTLE GIRLY SHIELD MEN, so I expect that...there wont really be a change. Most people that Rp with a shield I find often have a reason for their character using a shield at all. Id be more concerned about the Warrior Rp base really, seeing as Greatswords are generally more popular than a massive axe.
