You're essentially telling me a MNK will look just as fine using a spear with their animations as their fists; that is the difference of placing a shortsword in the hands of a Dark Knight, whose animations are built around a claymore.
Except they're more appropriate with the PVP Glamour weapon, the beatstick. Seriously. The Beatstick makes it seem like the Dark Knight -should- have been a two handed club job, because the consideration of weight and momentum given to the animations fits a crushing weapon far better. When the sword is big enough, it's not really about it being a sword anymore.

Put a giant metal stick in Guts's hand, and he'll use it exactly like his sword, it'll just leave a bigger mess behind.
