In MonHun, you kill a monster, acquire its hide/horns/claws/ect., and forge awesome gigantic weapons and armor out of them. As a result the weapons resemble the pieces of the monster that you used to make it. Similarly these weapons seem to contain parts of Ifrit that you will most likely use to forge each one. Hence why the weapons are huge, they're created from the parts of a gigantic beast (much like Monster Hunter's gear). As far as I'm concerned this is awesome. The weapons SHOULD look like they came from the monster who's parts you're using to forge it. Also, gigantic weapons MAKE SENSE in a world where you're slaying GIGANTIC BEASTS.
