    RealTalk: Dagger Sizes

    I've got a bone to pick with SE. Let me post a few shots of what we call "daggers."

    Khanjars


    Sasuke's Blades Zeta


    Serpent Elite's Knives


    These things are way too big, they're even as long as the Gladiator's "spatha" type sword





    Here are some Daggers of the appropriate size:

    Mythril Baselards


    Vamper's Knives


    Mortal Moggle Mogknives


    If you were to line these daggers up with the arm, the blades would barely go past the elbow at most.

    For another reference, here's the dagger that the Khanjars are modeled from:

    My main point here is that I want whoever handles Square Enix's weapon designs to take a step back from his or her work and reevaluate what he or she considers a dagger, because these weapons are clearly shortswords.

    I don't really see a problem. I like the bigger weapon size.

    I'm fine with their size but I want to see more short katanas (a little longer than daggers) like Yoshimitsu though.

    What I would like to see is a true separation of daggers and katana sword. Daggers for ROG and katana swords for NIN. There should be a definitive difference.

    I like lengthier daggers. If I cared at all about my Ninja, I would get the Khanjars glamours without a second thought.
