RealTalk: Dagger Sizes

[RolandDebreton]

I go out of my way to glamour realistic weapons. Curtana, for example did not last long. I'm the same with daggers. I'd like more realistic weapons and smaller meaningful sizes. I'm guessing the giant sizes are people wanting their glams to have more snap/size/shine.

Over sized daggers are not limited to Square Enix games. It's pretty industry standard.

I'd say FFXI would like a word with you but that seems to be the exception to the MMO rules. Their Daggers always felt like daggers but never felt like they were so small it was laughable/weak. its like they actually cared to imagine a proper model size for a dagger . --- I do like my Khanjar's but seriously the first thing i noticed were that they were basically freaking Cutlass sized. They're originally FFXI items as well, "Darksteel Jambiya". Its still my current glamour cause MA NOSTALGIA but dang.

Edit: Here's a picture of the model. Notice how they still look as dangerous/etc, but also realistically dagger sized.



I don't really mind the huge daggers alot though.

Gods damn it, I was wondering why the Khanjars looked familiar.

Who said they were daggers? Please cite in-game text that explains that NINs only wield daggers.

Clearly, if a PLD is able to wield anything between a gladius and the Curtana, which is arguable something like a broadsword, then its totally reasonable that NINs would have the ability to wield both daggers and long-knives, which I think any of those fit into.

Some of the weapons are going to be bigger than normal and some will be smaller to add flavor to the world.

I see no problem here. In fact, add more short sword-esque models.

The real problem to me is lack of proper kodachi-style weapons other than the Yoshimitsu, for that real NIN look.

THIS. All day.

An as of that. I want Zidane daggers in the game now. XD

IX for ever!

^this so much, this game is missing Mage Mashers. D:

[Songi]

I just want Dancer class added in game.

Batliege Soto.

I'm fine with their size but I want to see more short katanas (a little longer than daggers) like Yoshimitsu though.

I couldn't agree more, I use the batliege soto as well, there are very few ninja-esque weapons in the game, everything is a dagger it feels except relic. Really we should have very few daggers and several katanas and kunai.
