Given how parrying with a Katana is a pretty easy way to ruin your blade, as it's really good for slashing and not for parrying, I wanna know how you'd make that work.

In a game where we ride dragons and flying horses and create magic out of thin air, and you're questioning how SAM would tank with a katana? o.0

First, Ananta's Elephant would have made a better example. And we aren't making magic out of thin air, there is a resource. CNJ uses elementals to assist, THM and ACN have their own inner pools, WHM/BLM use Hydaelyn for their resource and caused their own calamity issues that forced those magics to be, lore wise, illegal to access, etc.

But I guess Square could just make some dumb excuse like the katanas are made of this very specific material that can parry anything with no punishments. It's not like the point of the Katana itself is that it's made to be super fast, which makes it bad for parrying due to the design. It should funtion like a greatsword, BLOCK THAT ROCK!
