it means that the weapon is in two pieces and CAN be changed if the dev team wanted to. but it would still take work and use extra data when storing your glamour or saving your gearset. instead of having one link to two models, you need each model as its own separate entry.

(incidentally mch appears to have an offhand. its dozens of copies of the same lunchbox lmao)

so i understand why it probably wont be changed right now, especially with the graphics overhaul soon. but its not OFF the table.

what is more likely the "case" isnt that the weapons are "mirrored" in runtime, but are mirrored beforhand(there are some asymetrical dual weapons for NIN iirc???) but still use the same "stuff" to reduce drawcalls etc
