Crossbow
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Crossbows are a type of weapon commonly used by Archers. Although typically more powerful than bows they fire in a direct line of sight rather than an arched trajectory of a bow, which sometimes can be a disadvantage.

[edit] Final Fantasy XII
Crossbows are Long-Range weapons which deal normal damage. They generally do not deal as much damage as Bows and its accuracy can be badly affected by windy weather or low visibility, but they have the shortest recharge time of any ranged weapon. Bolts must be equipped in order to use crossbows.
[edit] Final Fantasy Tactics
Archers are able to use Crossbows in battle. They are one-handed weapons, usually with a range of four tiles and are unaffected by height. However the main disadvantage of Crossbows is that they cannot be fired over obstacles like regular bows can so the target must be directly in front of the crossbow user with no obstacles in between in order for the target to be hit.
