About Swords
Edit
A highly celebrated tool of war, renowned weapon throughout history, with myths of various legends of this particular weapon with nearly every culture, and once common amongst soldiers and warriors in the past, being easy to handle and cheap to manufacture. Commonly featured as the prime brand of heroes and a staple within the genre of fantasy itself, the sword finds itself in Final Fantasy without question.
A lengthened blade fitted into the top of a handle, with many varying designs and kinds, the Sword remains one of the most popular weapons within the series, being used by many classes, ranging from physically orientated to reaching those of different fields. Not only limited to its own type, the Sword has inspired creation of many independent and distinguished variations of its kind within the Final Fantasy series, from their widely known variation of Greatswords, the exclusive and reserved exotic Katana, to even hallowed Knight Swords and wicked Fell Swords.
