Suggestion: Stand by Your Sword

[SHJcules]

There was this Square RPG that has the weapons growing with your character. Can't remember what it is though. At certain points in time, you can "reforge" it for new improvements. Was it Secret of Mana?

I've never played that game (or simply don't remember, though I usually buy anything with the square logo haha) but sounds pretty fun! Even if you are bound to your base weapon from the start (not so much bound to it, just that a short sword will never turn into a wooden spanker sword, and long sword will always be a long sword) , it'd be cool if it still morphed along the way and was reforged at certain points.

Like @r20 you start with a rusty piece of metal that only resembles a Falchion. After a few quests and hitting r30 with it, the guild reforges it and it shapes a hilt and kind of has a blade. By r50 it resembles a true final fantasy weapon! and is toothed along the curved blade, yields a jeweled mysterious looking hilt with a guard, crazy transparency differences all over the place, and yeeauuhh. Changing the aesthetics of the weapon based on the quest paths you choose would be great, but probably too complex (but I'd love if certain parts of the weapon changed colors to match the element property you chose, or a multi-hit weapon had two blades! etc) . But making like 4-5 different upgraded versions of each base weapon couldn't be toooo crazy of a task

If you're going out to look for Secret of Mana, I'll save you some trouble. You'll be more likely to find it in the Super Nintendo section.

lol, the Super Nintendo section. Awesome news for me, I think I will have to torrent this huge, possibly 25kb, file later

Also, I would not be totally adverse to my weapon speaking to me! He could have a little icon floating around, like the paper clip icon from old word programs. Slapping me with little tips and tricks.

Sword:"Jim! This guys weakness seems to be slashing and fire. Do work son!"
Me: "For True!?" engage Red Lotus Blaaadddde
(yes I would talk back to my sword..)
