    Are there any Shirasaya in FFXIV?

    They look like this:



    Were these practical Katanas IRL? No, they were not. Shirasaya were employed as a method to transport and store blades that were not expected to be used for a while. However, they've made a number of appearances in anime over the years, and occupy their own little niche for people who collect swords. Frankly, since the Bokken (the wooden practice sword) has made it into FFXIV as the Bokuto, I don't really feel like it's that outlandish to want a Shirasaya... at least you could actually, you know, cut someone with a Shirasaya.

    There's one similar to that picture as a Gold Saucer reward for MGP. Not quite what you are looking for but to my knowledge that's about as close as it gets currently.
