Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Suggestions Combat systems

why? why would anyone want a weapon like that in a game? that is probably the most poorley designed sword ever created in the world of gaming and would ruin beyond devinity like it nearly ruined (a poor game anyway) ff7

You have it so wrong.

First of all, FF7 is not a poor game. There are many who claim it is the best FF, and there are some who claim it is the best RPG.

And secondly, FF7 is designed in a japanese cartoon kind of way, you know, anime. The main thing about anime is that it overexadurates certain features to emphasise them more. Like bigger heads so you could see emotions better, or crazy hairdo's. This is in NO way a flaw, it is simply a style. It is neither good nor bad. You can like it or not.

And lastly, the sword was made big to show Cloud's strength. I mean, if you're strong enough to even pick up that thing, let alone use it, you have got to be really powerful.

hehehe nice said....allthough Cloud's sword was kinda plain, it was huge and great.....and come on that guy weild it with one hand...how superb is that....or if you don't like that...try Sephiroth's blade...and btw the swords were kept big in FF8 and FF X.....nothing ruined the FF games.......especially not the weapons.......

yeah i suppose it wouldnt ruin an anime game but it might wreck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />
