Buster Sword xmog

[kyuven]

That's a very... modern list.

There's also iconic weapons from the classical era from before characters were resigned to a single weapon type. In fact, some FF iconic weapons have already made it into the game!

Herein lies the problem, though. When they incorporate weapons from the 8 and 16 bit games, only the names are important since most of them look something like this:

or this:

And that's the BEST they looked before 7.
After that, we get the visual iconic weapons, which is what people want glamours for. At this point, the name is actually secondary to the appearance.
To give an example using real life, if I call a weapon "Excalibur," or "Mjolnir," the appearance isn't important but a certain degree of power is implied by the name. The only things required are "is a sword" (Excalibur) or "is a hammer" (Mjolnir). While certain contexts and versions of the weapon in modern times can elicit the name (for example, seeing Marvel's Thor's hammer would immediately bring up "Mjolnir") in general you can slap the label on pretty much anything.
The same ISN'T true for items created and popularized during the modern era. For example if I played this noise with this picture:

You would immediately know what it is. Even if I called it something else, like a "light sword" or "beam katana," to you it's just a lightsaber with a different name.
It's because the associations have changed. Thus why people have no problem wielding a weapon called "Murderous Mogblade" if it looks like the gunblade.

It's not going to happen, as the Buster Sword already appears as one of the melee Limit Breaks (I still remember the outcry when the 'Crystal's Call' trailer showed a DRG using it!).

Because of this, you most likely will not see a Buster Sword as an equippible weapon - but then stranger things have happened.

Please god no.....

Why justify all the people named "xxxClouderothStrife27xxx" and the like?
We don't need 100 million Dark Knights running around in the Advent attire quoting every damn scene from 7.

I don't think there will be that much people, you don't see a lot of players cosplayed as the WoL or Lightning, only lightning hair is quite used I think, but not to look like her but because it looks nice, I don't think there will be a lot of these players.

Looking forward for the SAM job with Sephiroth gear veteran reward 1440 days !

Well, when we use Limit Break 1/2 for DPS, we use the Buster Sword... so its technically already modeled in the game.

don't shoot me.

[Shneibel]

Since we got the advent children clothing veteran reward, are you gonna add the buster sword too for the dark knights?!
OH OH OH I really want to wield that :O
