The legendary Masamune

[Masamune·1600]

FFII, VI, and VIII do not have Masamunes.

False in all three cases, as has already been mentioned. As to the name change in FFVI, blame Ted Woolsey. :rolleyes2

I think they added the Excalipoor just to tick the players off.

Actually, the Excalipoor attack was meant to recall the Excalipur sword from FFV, which Gilgamesh (a recurring boss in that game) attempted to use in a battle against the party. As you might guess, it failed miserably.


To return to the original question, FFX-2 did not include anything called the Masamune. This can be attributed, however, to the fact that the game had no specific weapons. Kaiser Knuckle and Ragnarok were included as accessories, though. FFMQ and FFXI also lack a Masamune.
