Am I Dumb?

http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/06/2...or-blade-down/ Here's a guide. They way a Samurai wears their sword changes depending on what they're wearing.

That is, at once, somewhat correct, and somewhat incorrect.

A katana was never left hanging in the sheath with the edge down. As I mentioned, that would needlessly damage the edge.

The drawing, on the other hand, is mostly correct, but simplistic. Again, the scabbard was tied to the waist in such a way that you could easily rotate in it in the desired direction for the desired draw style.

And in the case of that article, the samurai in FF14 are considered to be the "kimono-wearing" samurai, not the heavily armored ones from the early to mid Edo period (regardless of the fact you can get "armor" looking equipment in game).
