If you would recall (assuming you're familiar with FF), "great katana" is the term in final fantasy for the 2-handed sword used by SAM, whereas "katana" was the 1-handed sword used by NIN. But it was a poor of me to say a wakizashi would be "used as a two-hander". The wakizashi would not graphically be wielded with 2-hands; but "used" like a 2-hander "mechanically" in that it wouldn't come with an off-hand. I didn't expect the focus to be on the animation, more so on the proposed game mechanics.

Samurai throwing blades are not really a thing, yet a ranged attack is needed for the game and a small blade makes the most sense; leaving a tanto or the smaller sword, and wakizashi makes more sense on review. This ultra-realism of yours is a bit silly though. The idea is to take the key class identifiers and build a series of fictional attacks surrounding those class identifiers. Thanks for the history lesson, but discussing the proposed mechanics would have been far more welcomed.

Except in Tactics, where it was "Katana" and "Ninja Sword," respectively.
