Honestly it's just weird to me that Golbez uses a sword at all. I know in After Years when he was on his hobo redemption arc, he started using one, but in the original game he was solely a sorcerer versed in the most powerful black magic and summoning.

Where is my Golbez blasting our WoLs down a set of stairs with a giant Thundaga? SMH (Or you know, at the very least the FFIV DS intro Golbez blocking Cecil sword with a wave of lightning)

SE dropped the ball, but it is just Endwalker post, so it's not surprising I suppose. At least his VA is cool.
