I stand by what I say. To me it just seems like their trying to be as gimmicky as possible and trying to take "cool" and "badass" to whole new levels.

Really what's so wrong with just a regular sword or a character that doesn't mirror someone who already exists?

Now I HOPE the game will be good, but as of late Square has yet to show me much more then an over inflated graphics budget. As of yet though I haven't seen anything that could dictate good except it has an interesting story premise.
