They're only well designed under the context of Japan's shitty iron, and to be carried while holding other weapons. Once you widen it to the whole world, it'd been completely surpassed in both creation and application in places with better materials.
>>333434087
>short as fuck sword that's meant to be held with two hands
>no hand guard of any kind
Yeah great sword there, mate.
>>333434548
I'm not talking in terms of practicality. I'm talking purely design.
The katana is slim and simple. There's nothing extraneous about it.
>>333434548
Japanese iron isn't the problem. It's that Japan has a history of paper armor and didn't understand the concept of a shield.
>>333434867
they're for cutting down fleeing peasants, what could you possibly need a handguard for?

Faggots still spouting memes about shit they don't know.
Iron is an element. There is no shit version of it. The Nip island have shit ton of iron. They face difficulties in refining it. That's it.
Their armor advanced enough to the point that by the end of the Sengoku period, even poorfags can afford armor resistant shit. Where does bamboo armor memes come from anyway?

Its ability is doubling the weight of what it hits every time it makes contact, until the opponent is unable to move. That sword isn't for slicing, its for beheading.

It really bothers me that these swords that turn into guns are called gunblades, because a gunblade is a canon thing that already exists and has nothing to do with the transforming weapons in FF13.
I just wished they were named different things, they are nothing alike.
>>333438958
It's okay anon. Soon, they shall know.Espania will rise again
>>333439049
The irony is Damascus steel used the same folded 10000 times shit people joke about japan
>>333439517
Damascus steel is simply a mix of several different kinds of metals, hence the wavy patterns.

Fuck you, there's nothing autistic about that. You shouldn't create two entirely, functionally different devices and then call them the same thing.
Come to think of it, they kind of did that with Aeons/Eidolons/Espers as well.

Sword shifts into a gun
Bayonet seem silly, but has no ill effect on weapon
Guard is akin to a lance guard for when she ride upon Odin
>>333433584
Imagine you move out of your parents' basement and get a place of your own. Upon moving in, the front wall falls apart as soon as you close the front door due to shoddy craftsmanship from the builder. But you can't complain because you've never built a house before in your life nor would you even know where to start.
Imagine the world worked like this. A world where criticism, even something so blatantly obvious that a child could see what was wrong, is null and void unless you are skilled in the profession which you are criticizing.
>>333442523
>Bayonet seem silly, but has no ill effect on weapon
It actually reduces the cutting edge and gives a large weight to the underside of the hilt
>Guard is akin to a lance guard for when she ride upon Odin
That might be good if it were a lance, but the way it is now is at the back of her hand and would stop her from holding it properly

That was Wolf's Torrent or whatever the Garuga hammer was called. The problem is it required White Fatalis gear to be useful

Anon, scythes, as many other farming tools, don't have a standard shape. Scythes where I come from are more akin to war picks

>>333462326
>>333462472
They're straight up not at all similar. They're just polearms you use for drawing cuts- their name is derived from the ACTION of "scything," and even then it's still a bit of a misnomer because the movement involved in their use probably wasn't anything like a harvesting scythe. Harvesting scythes also didn't use a blade that was ANYTHING like what was on a war scythe. A farming scythe's blade was more like a long sharpened strip of metal the thickness of a spatula. They were bendy and more or less useless for cutting things in war because they had too much give (they were, after all, designed for cutting fucking wheat,) and thats BEFORE you account for the fact that the orientation of the blade and method by which the scythe was held was completely counter-intuitive to hurting other people.
Scythes make OK magic staffs I think aesthetically, but anyone who thinks they would make cool weapons is an edgy faggot.
See:

>Hating on the one sick ass red halberd
>>333447439
bretty gud
>>333463242
-What the fuck was that? Sorry, got cut off.
Sickles were worse than knives and probably only used because they either were more commonly available en mass than knives (At least the kind you could expect to defend yourself with) to farming folk. They might have also been slightly less conspicuous in the hands of farmers-who-were-actually-ninjas-about-to-suicide-rush-you.
>>333463269
that halberd either has a massive blade or shaft so short it would make it an axe, not a halberd
>>333463536
What about it?
The weapon itself is a noobtrap but the design is ok
Later iterations sucked.
Always reminded me of Resident Evil though.
>>333463704
I agree, it's a bit wonky. I would wield it, though. Everything else in that set is fair game, but the halberd is nice.

Yes.

Lightning is the best character in the world in my opinion. She should be the lead character of every title we make from now on. She is perfect in every way. She is cool, calm, and has a great sense of humor. Sometimes I think people hate her because she saved the Final Fantasy series, those haters just want the series to die. But truly, she is the greatest thing to happen to the series since it began. If I could go back in time and change everything about FF1, I'd have it titled Lightning Forever. Then when I return to the present, Lightning will be the star of every past title now and she would be praised as a true Goddess. - Motomu Toriyama
