The world is not yours and you don't have to agree with other people and other people don't have to agree with you either. Nor you have the right to criticize on other people when they are giving informative information. Thanks
Right, so, first off, I am Japanese. Secondly, I've did kenjutsu for over ten years in my youth. All the poster did is reveal the depths of their ignorance while attacking someone else over their supposed lack of knowledge by info dumping a bunch of irrelevant information. In the end, they're still wrong about the original point (that they didn't even argue against correctly), because as the person they quoted stated, you wouldn't be sheathing and drawing your weapon over and over again in the middle of a fight as XIV's Samurai does. In other words, they prettied their post up with a bunch of mostly correct, if contextually irrelevant, information in an attempt to appear as an authority on the subject when any actual authority would tell you that, no, Samurai's animations are very much style over substance. Frankly the fact they compare Samurai's many excessive flourishes to something like chiburi is extremely laughable.
