I see it like...

Get the best endgame weapon with X materia.
your sword begins to speak you/glow wahtever, seek the great spirit of jimmy he holds the power of excalibur. You go speak to spirit of jimmy, defeat something or do some event/quest, and now you sword gains the aspect of the spirit sword exaclibure, base stats are boosted and it gets some additional effect, but its still your materiad sword other than that.

1 year later when some new crazy stuff is released, the spirit fades from your sword, and the spirit of excalibur only resides in the new whatever, with some new event linked to bonding it to your weapon.


That is the way i understood what he was saying anyhow.
Well when you put it like that, it does sound better. But from the fragments of information available, it could easily go both ways. Who is to say you dont just go up to a NPC and go: "Oh hi, here's my sword with XYZ stats, convert it into a legendary weapon kthanks."

Who is to say that isn't the case?

I guess they can always mask an unnatural and stupid idea with some convincing lore to make it seem less unnatural and much less stupid, but it still seems a bit too flimsy if you ask me.
