So basically:
Adventurer A: My sword is bigger than your sword!
Adventurer B: Yeah, but.. I still win my battles... and 1000 other battles while you were getting your sword....
Adventurer A: My sword is bigger than your sword!
Adventurer B: Yeah... i'll.. umm.. leave you alone to play with your sword now....


Sure, it may be bigger, it may be flashier, but it is more than you need.

When it means you can one shot kill Ifrit, or Chimera, or what not... then we'll talk....
