Do you know anything about swords at all? That sword would easily weigh twice or three times what Cloud weighs. He wouldn't be able to pick it up. And even if he could, he wouldn't have the leverage to use the sword effectively, if at all. It would actually make an extremely poor weapon.

That's worse than a sword being on fire or dripping acid. It makes no logical sense at all; even if he was super-strong, physics still exist. So, I think it's entirely fair to say that ideas about what would or wouldn't be realistic looking have been abandoned by this series long, long ago.

Why don't you just give it a go in-game and see if you like it or not? Also, there are many new swords being added in the new update and the Materia system will allow you to pimp one of those out to your heart's extent, more powerful than any of these drops. Let those of us who like the style enjoy it, and focus on what YOU like... rather than slagging the devs and calling it 'poor design,' based on nothing more than your opinion really.

I think the dagger for Thaumaturge is the coolest of all of them. Looks awesome with the blue gem on the end.
