Because the gigantic swords we have already don't seem to be damaging enough. In this game, the bigger the weapon, the tankier you are.
On topic: No to this request, there are way more than enough FFVII references as is, not only the victory pose, but the /battlestance is Cloud's as well (last pose).
Which is an homage to Guts from berserk. A lot of Japanese 2h greatsword characters use Guts as their base line and expand from there. Auron from FFX even looks like Guts. What DRK really needs is Dragonslayer. Hell we've taken down so many in HW I'm surprised its not in game already.

I'd say adding the weapons is fine. It is perfect content for the gold saucer, and would give a lot of incentive for that content. If there were 15 classic FF weapons for 250k-500k each in the gold saucer, there would be a lot more to spend MGP on that people actually want, and it would liven up that content a lot more. This game is built on callbacks to previous final fantasies, and we have literally everything except weapons, (except FFXIII weapons). These things haven't done anything to harm immersion in the game, and would be a welcome (and popular) addition.
