Before I go using up all my free time to try and figure this out, does anyone happen to already know what the game does for the harp attack animation?  As far as I can tell, the weapon sheet just has two identical sideways harps.  If anyone already knows which is used for what and how, it could save me a fair bit of effort in experimentation.  I would love to know what it does with those images.

And for anyone wondering why, I'm trying to see if I can work in the Judge Blade from the FFTA games in its place.  (You know, the weapon in all the main character art but NEVER ACTUALLY APPEARED in the game just to drive people like me nuts?)  LastingDawn suggested the harp with the possibility that it could be put in Mercenaries.  (Wild guess, I suppose the harps were chosen because they aren't used in Mercenaries.)

They aren't identical. The strings are shifted in one to make it look like the strings are being strummed.
You'll probably want to use the mace or axe graphics for that.

Ah, thank you.  I must have overlooked the shifted strings.
