Or maybe a wooden pole to use as a quarterstaff. Or maybe they fashioned a makeshift spear out of something. Or maybe they even just grabbed a hatchet and started using it like an axe.If it had a edge, a farmer would use it. Scythes probably had the biggest blades around back then so they would use those especially against wolves for the range.
However do notice, scythes are comfortably portrayed in fantasy as efficient weapons by humans. Why? Because fantasy humans don't suffer the same physical limitations as real humans. Especially Final Fantasy characters. See bloodborne for example. No REAL human could do this.

^ is that REALLY so far fetched for a FF ARR character to pull of to the point you will have people going "my immersion is ruined because that random guy is using a scythe."
Like really?
