Welcome to Final Fantasy!

That doesn't mean "completely divorced from reality." This just doesn't look like a serviceable weapon.

Gold globs do not make for a cutting edge. You are more like to annoy your target than really hurt it.

And Sephrioth can destroy the galaxy when fighting you many times over, yet we still live and breathe with a few thousand HP shaved off.

So again, welcome to Final Fantasy, a franchise where showy weapons and flashy spells do more than the practical knife or a sword being more powerful than a gun. Name me one JRPG that has "normal" looking end game weapons and I'll show you a moogle's arse.

That excalibur IS pretty ugly though, regardless of whether it's practical or not ..

Well, it always annoyed me in FFVI that gold armour/weapons were better than mythril armour/weapons :3 But the game said they were, so who cares about how impractical it is? =D

As a side note, it makes me wonder what the other relic weapons would look like in that tier...

Nearly every single unique weapon in this game would be absolutely useless in real life. Chances are if a weapon looks cool it is completely ineffective. This is no exception. Enjoy the fantasy weapon designs as this is a fantasy game.

You make the assumption that Eorzean gold has the same properties as real world gold :P

Also.. It could just be .. You know .. Gold plating.

And look at that fantastically point tip. Perfect for thrusting :P
