    Which Relic's Name you liked the most?

    Hi guys,
    these new weapons had such stranger names XD so I decided to search each name to see where the hell did SE found those names... In the end I found some quite interesting stuff about their names, so... each you do you like the most? (based on the actual history of the name itself.)

    I'll put some of my search here

    Kannagi: Actually I found an Anime Sword with this name, but I didn't find a story about it... there is something about a woman... but I don't think it's related to the weapon since it doesn't mention a Dagger or something like that.

    I like Nothung the most, but only because I constantly think it's a typo.

    We learned this before in FFXI, as most of these weapon names are the Empyrean weapons from XI.

    I like Deneb, but I like most of the AST weapon names (the stars)

    Usually Guns have Star names in FF though

    For something that, lore-wise, you're creating from scratch and enhancing it or whatever, they should've given you the option to name it yourself. Have it similar to the Chocobo Racing naming system, but with exclusive names related to the job. For example, simply 'Anima [Name]' or 'Anima [Name] of [Fending/Casting/Healing etc.]'

    It's not one of the new ones but omnilex has the best fitting name of all of them new and old IMO. omni + lexicon = scholartastic! the title is also fitting for it too: the reader

    Armageddon. The majority of the MCH lore is that the class was designed to be something that anyone could learn to do, (though obviously with varying degrees of effectiveness in battle), so it's fitting that our relic weapon is one that anyone can recognize immediately....
