This FAQ pertains to real-life, not the video game.
To be more specific, to the Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts. Square-Enix's Merchandise sector is perhaps best known for their intricate Play Arts Action Figures. They even included a supplementary line called "Play Arts Arms."
But a few years before the boom of Play Arts Action Figures; Square-Enix had released a separate Dragon Quest line called "Legend Items Gallery" (2003-2006, with some 2010 reissue) whose weapons are in-scale with the later-released Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts (2005). Some fans would regard the Legend Items Gallery as the Play Arts Arms for the Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts.
When we say "Play Arts Arms," we are talking about what suitable weapon to use with a particular Play Arts figure. Final Fantasy VIII and X; Kingdom Hearts; the Fomalhaut, Death Penalty and Conformer had described "Play Arts Arms" as "Ultimate/Strongest/Celestial Weapons" for that particular character while the rest of the FFXII and FFVII Play Arts Arms sets have went for the most suitable weapon for the character in terms of color and design.
