Buster Sword for Dark Knights

Why has this not happened. It seems so obvious, but yet they haven't done it. Is it licensing issues? Maybe they're waiting for a FFVIIR event.

FFVIIR is a possibility. The Buster Sword is already the LB1 and 2 for melee dps, so that could also be part of it.

Don't need it; we have Cloud's /vpose

But wouldn't it be better to have the sword with his pose? :p

and the strife gear (really the buster sword seems missing).

I'd be totally up for it if I can get Squall's revolver on PLD, Zidane's daggers on NIN, Kain's lance on DRG, Vincent's Cerberus on MCH, Yuna's staff on WHM etc. I'd love a final fantasy classics pack in the GC.

I've been using the i205 PvP weapon "Guillotine of the Fury." Closest I could find in terms of looks and accessibility.

Because it is already in the game, but not as a weapon, it's the graphic for the level 1 and 2 melee Limit Breaks 'Braver' and 'Blade Dance' (Braver naturally was Cloud's basic Limit Break in FFVII so it made sense to have the Buster Sword appear there).

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20150707122640

Also remember that Limit Breaks have been in ARR since launch, where as DRK was only added in Heavensward and, given SE's reluctance to retcon fanservice gear that was a part of earlier events for new Jobs (aka, the FFXIII weapons), I don't see this happening I'm afraid.

Mmm...I need my Buster Sword. The limit break only satisfies my need for only a split moment. QnQ

Also as far as I'm aware there wouldn't be any licensing issues by using just about anything from any of the Final Fantasy games in FFXIV. Square owns it all. When it comes to other IP's I'm less sure but I think they own most of what they publish.

Ultima Weapon as well plox?

DRK would have to do decent damage compared to WAR before they add a DPS style weapon.

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).

No, I just stated an opinion. Don't pretend I've got the power to change anyone's opinion. I'm just personally, firmly against it.

All the more reason to complete it.

You can; go use the two most used limit breaks in the game.

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.

This one I like. Tbh I'm set with the deathbringer and baldur blade, but this one's nice.

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.

I agree, I just don't want to see any more FFVII direct references. The buster sword does exist in the game, after all, and as two powerful moves no less. If I had to choose a FFVII sword, I'd pick something more obscure like the ogrenix, for example.

Considering that the "buster sword" in the LB is an orange aether based weapon, I'm pretty sure you could differentiate the two. Though i agree that something other than the buster sword would at least fit DARK better, due to cloud having different animations and the buster sword being a very peculiar shape that might not fit all of drks animations

I don't want an orange glowing buster sword.
I want the OG buster sword.

I don't really care for it ingame. Mind you, I do like the sword but I'm not gonna be for or against it.

If it comes, great.

If it doesn't, great.

we might see the sword on mog station at some point, we got the motor bike and two FF7 related minions....

I'd like for it to be added. The fact that it's already used as part of the LB animation... means very little to me.

They'd have to redesign the animation for the melee LBs or it would be redundant, I feel. I'd rather just keep things as they are. Besides, DRK's battle stance holding it wrong would trigger the hell out of me.
You already have his outfit AND his motorcycle, that should be enough.

NEEEEECROOOOOO~

Which Buster Sword tho? The one from the game? Or the cool spiffy looking one from the movie? (Preferably both imo :))

personally would prefer the crisis core one since its the regular buster sword but more detail
https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets...jpg?1513686878

i wish they would remove the generic LB 1 and 2
Completely re-haul the melee dps one
change bards and Mch so they shoot it out of the bow/gun not the cross bow
and Casters just cast it from there own book,staff and rapier

The one from the Movie is not the Buster Sword. It's the First Tsurugi, a combination work of swords.

Seconding this idea of an LB1&2 rework, though I'd extend it to all classes, not just the DPS.
Also replace the PLD LB3, that thing is ugg.

Given that we got Cloud's motorcycle and a mini cloud in the first two fanfests, it could possibly be a fanfest 3 item. Though they'll probably go with an item all characters can use like another minion rather than a job exclusive weapon.

i could totally see it coming with a FF VII crossover though if they ever get around to finishing the FF VII remake.

Part of the reason we haven't seen it may also just be that the Gunbreaker job is more directly inspired by Squall and his gunblade than DRK is from Cloud. DRKs use massive swords, sure, and they have some animations from cloud as a reference, but really the job isn't inspired by Cloud specifically or FF VII in general, it just has some fanservice animations. Where as with Gunbreaker, we're getting Squall's default weapon as a CE bonus because the job was more directly inspired by FF VIII style gunblades specifically.

LB1 and LB2 rework for all jobs please. Same effect just job-specific animations. Let SAM keep Braver/Bladedance.

The formula could be:
Melee LB1: Single or Two-hit attack
Melee LB2: Multihit attack.

For DRG, LB1 could be High Jump, and LB2 could be Penta Thrust
For MNK, LB1 could be Dolphin Blow (basically a rising upppercut) and LB2 would be Raging Fists (staple multi punch MNK attack).
