NO WAY? I thought that he had some like, handcrafted sword because I remembered only he could weild it and it fit his height? Maybe it was square's intention but that is a serious chage of shape for the sword especially, with what it looks like in CC. Maybe there is a whole tie-in with Sephiroth getting it when he was good, then when he turned evil so did the sword, thus basing the whole mix for the masamune in CC!!!!!
Or maybe I'm dreaming LOL
