Swords for the Swordless

But you did understand what I was speaking about so therefore my point came across. Regardless if I sounded ignorant about the name or not.

Yes, I did. You are complaining about the lack of "proper" swords. Macuahuitl is a proper sword, just from a different era. If you want all the swords to be metal longswords, that's not gonna happen.

I didn't link the wikipedia page to make you seem "ignorant", but it's clear you didn't read through it. It's not a "wooden club", it's a sword. At this point, I highly doubt the devs are going to change all the macuahuitl in to steel swords just because you don't like it, so what's the point? I'm sure in in future patches we get all sorts of swords.

In the very article you mention they do not classify it as a sword. They call it sword like. They also call it a club and a baton as well. The point is it is not a conventional sword. Its a unique weapon to parts of South America.

The entire point I was trying to make is there is a distinct lack of standard style of swords. (European, Asian North American, Middle Eastern and so on) The fact is the weapon I mentioned is use far to often. I do not expect them to fix it over night. But I do want my voice my opinion.

My purpose wasn't to start a debate whether or not macuahuitl is a sword or not, my whole point was that it's entirely a design decision. And while criticism can be given on any game's art direction, I have no idea what you are hoping to accomplish. Art direction is the one thing that most gaming companies do not take feedback for, mostly because everything comes down to opinions. The fact that you do not like obsidian edged, club-like swords isn't reason enough for Square-Enix to stop making swords with such designs.
It's great that you want to voice your opinion, but this isn't a feedback forum. I wish more players would start to realize that. There are proper ways to submit feedback, in-game and out.
