    Dude, this is the IP that produced Cloud's Buster Sword. *scratches head* Anyway, big weapons are a thing in MMOs, or did you actually enjoy using daggers from lv1-40?

    I, for one, love the hell out of that outfit. Except maybe the shield because it's a round shield, and I prefer the look of kite shields.

    Daggers? No. Swords that actually looked reasonable? Yes.

    Most of the Lv40 range swords are great, but then we start getting things like Ancient Sword and I start thinking "These are closer to metal clubs than they are to actual blades...". I mean, is Break Blade really meant to be a blade?

    The Buster Sword was a great sword, right now we seem to be using it with a shield. Seriously, what are great swords going to be at this rate? The most over the top great sword in the franchise is already a one handed blade here... Sometimes I wonder why Paladin even needs a shield, considering half its endgame swords are bigger... There is a point where parrying with a blade just becomes an out right block, and the XIV developers passed it a while ago...

    I am looking forward to the weapons of (potential) future two-handed sword classes. They are probably big enough to live in.
