In terms of the actual attack, yes, exactly like a left handed character would be. If you mean the number on the equipment/status screen I'm not sure, I'd need to check.

I was asking for the latter the whole time...

I'm not looking for visuals.. I'm just wondering if the Bow+Arrow attack penalty is applied under the two recessive hands.. if that happens at all.

Never mind, I got what I needed for the answer.. the pics explain themselves.

This I already knew:


Flip em around, looks no different:


Both hands recessive:


Flip em around:


So, the Bow+Arrow check obviously goes to the Bow in the recessive hand, which was expected.

Just to add an update to this old thread. (As if one couldn't already guess)  you cannot equip Two Two Handed weapons on an Ambidextrous character, nor can you equip a 1 handed weapon with a Two Handed weapon on an Ambidextrous character, and finally you cannot equip a Two Handed weapon with a one handed weapon with an ambidextrous character.

A note for me, since I'm looking to solve the mystery behind two-handedness and at first I thought it would be a range of allowed equips eg. "If you have Avenger equipped you cannot equip any other item 44 or above" But I see now it won't be that simple of a check. They were absolutely thorough with this Two-Handed business,  (almost makes it seem like they may have wanted a two-handed weapon for either Edge or Yang at one point since the Ambidextrous two-handed additions are so clean) oy, makes finding out its cause ever the more difficult. It does not appear to be a Compare instruction (all changes of C9 44 did not solve the issue)
