Can we please get a Two-handed version of Zantetsuken for Dark knight?

Maybe have a vender in mor dhona that let's you switch out the 1 handed for 2 handed.

It doesnt even look viable to be a drk blade lol. Drk blades are huge and thick but this thing resembles more of a long thin katana if you ask me. Hell other games call these huge blades greatsword and i dont think the odinsword fits that description any better in my opinion.

Looks like a Dark Sword to me. I made a topic about this before but all the PLD's rushed in to say lol no. Despite a couple of PLD weapons being copied into DRK weapons. And it being huge and having a hilt long enough for 2 hands. They'll likely argue that Odin used a Shield so it should stay a one handed weapon because reasons.

An 8 foot long katana could work as well.

Can't long katanas be considered greatswords?

If DRKs get one, then WARs will want some kind of axe adaptation too.

Well look at Frostmourne from WoW - they did Shadowmourne. That weapon was superb. I could see them doing like variations of the weapon.

Greatsword - Shin-Zantetsuken

Two handed Axe - Oni-Zantetsuken

It's just an example and a thought - I would love to see DRK get it.

Yes need Zentetsuken for my DRK and my Odin version is complete \O/ or at least give us Sephiroth and Masamune glamour :D

NEED THIS. Tbh i wouldn't mind just a DRK sword, might bring people back to doing the fate. but ideally all the Jobs from the start should of had a wep,

Funny thing about that....the shield never came out, so you can have matching sword, armor, and helmet, but the shield would throw off the whole thing.

Skjoldr is available at the gold saucer.

The only thing I can think of is giving Odin some new fresh air. Everyone just looks at him and walks away.

Zantetsuken in this game is closer to a katana in design. In other words, a weapon of eastern origin and generally not a sluggish or messy weapon, unlike how their European counterpart is usually portrayed. DRK movement while using their great swords are more akin to that western "pure strength" type of look. I'd imagine any FF7 Masamune type of variant is on reserve for SAM.

Of course, this is PURELY from the perspective of wanting something sleek like the 1h sword we have. If people would be okay with some thick blade like DRKs normally get, it'd be another story. It'd probably be a Gold Saucer item, if anything, unless they reintroduce Odin somehow.

If they were to do it, it would probably be via the same way for the PLD version: Get 5 of Odin's fate tokens and trade em in at Mor Dhona.

Personally I don't see em doing it, but it wouldn't make me go into a holy rage or anything.

Not really.. katana is always a one sided blade whereas greatswords are a huge double edged sword. And dont get me wrong swords can have double edges two we see it all the time but greatswords are thick as hell they arent thin like PLD swords or katanas which are thin and fast cus drk isnt about fast if i saw adrk swinging around a katana that slowly id say they look stupid.

I get it i say large sword youpost a picture of sephiroth how cou ld i expect anymore on the forums but a katana i

you can already convert 1hand<>2hand allagan weps, so i don't see why not zantetsuken.
also there's plenty of simple 2h-weps, like Balmung, so zantetsuken being slim, isn't really a viable reason to not add it.

Western swords/greatswords is anything but sluggish or messy considering the design of katanas have stagnated for thousands of years versus the ever evolving and changing blades of the west.

That aside, Zantetsuken can work either way and the general definition of a greatsword is 'a really big sword'. Zantetsuken is moreso a "really big sword" than a katana which is usually in between a big sword and a regular sword; atleast in the real world anyways.

What we really need are Odin & Behemoth based weapons for all roles, period. I have over 50 Odin mantles and a little less Behemoth horns collected just in case they introduced something new to the fights.

I remember when someone would call out Odin Fate and half of the server would join into the fight just for everyone to wipe by Zantetsuken at 1%. Good times...goood times.

Welcome to the Final Fantasy Forum :P

I like when people use the "it isnt thick enough/one sided blade" excuse when DRK has Balmung and its Law weapon

Kinda true

Look at Zantetsuken:

Vs DRK Lore.

It's not hard for them to make slight alteration (or not) to Zantetsuken so that DRK's can equip it. Many DRK weapons are already enlarged swords or daggers

Lol yea i figured someone would bring up the law weapon. Law is the exception and its not like drk is the only one that got a unique weapon with law they were all themed.

Negative. ( kinda? )

"Long Katana's" are call An ōdachi meaning (large/great sword) or nodachi ( field sword). While yes it COULD be called a "great sword", iconically great swords are a western themed weapon that are large, broad and heavy.

Odachi's are elongated katana's that retain the thin look to katana's.

But i'm being technical.

I can support a two-handed version.

Just dont' take away PLD's single-hand version to make it (Another topic suggested "giving it to DRK instead" and was shot down pretty fast.)

no one here said "instead" the only pld mention was the possibility of allowing us to trade in the 1h version for a 2h version, options should never be removed, but having them added is always a good thing

Balmung still almost touches the ground when on my back and is thick, lol. Hell i just wenttothe mb and easily found blades looking like Balmung, the Zweihander.

You might be thinking of a different topic, or likewise I am mis-remembering. Either way, we are in agreement on the subject - that having a two handed version, so long as PLD's maintain their version, is perfectly fine.

since Zantetsuken is a sentient weapon, why not just have it take the form most suited to it's current wielder, and be able to be any weapon in game? :P

I do want to see Zantetsuken-like weapons! I say if we make enough noise about it, the community/dev teams will consider it.

It wouldn't hurt to have the body piece of Odin's gear have a cape too... it will go well with my $23.00 Slepnir mount and new DRK Zantetsuken =)

Actually, should we start a new thread petitioning the community team to pay extra special attention to our request for the devs like they had suggested for a few other things in the past? (EG Chinese/Korean dresses)

I hope yall have been loving Eureka, because your prayers have been answered, and that's where you get it!

For confirmation.

After all these years, they finally added it to the game. But of course they had to change the look of the sword, so it's no use to me for my current Dark Knight glamour, because it clashes with my all black armor. =/

Except DRK already has a katana. The mendacity weapon.
