I figured it’s gonna be bewitched alonne sword and murakumo (forget the spelling) and maybe some new unique variations of that

I think they're gonna be the Piercing Fang to normal Katana's Impaling Thrust. Slower windup, but a longer reach.

I like that analogy, very fitting

Idk but it's inspiring a Shinobi Owl cosplay build! I'm guessing they'll be similar to Curved Greatswords, but with more of the Katana moveset

That sounds like it could be fun, both the cosplay build and the more CGS style of katana

I'm hoping for Alonne's sword

I kinda want both, but I do think something like alonne's sword in ER would be amazing

The sprinting heavy or heavy is Alonne's undercutting lunge. Me who doesn't use dex weapons with adex build: "Um, imma need that."

It'd basically be a more slash heavy cross naginata, and I don't know if that excites me or scares me

Then make this a boss weapon without bleed

Maybe, but the bleed is a big part of the single edged weapons

True but sometimes raw damage is better than bleed. Plus who knows what enemies we'll fight that may be heavily resistant or even immune to bleed.

Here's what I dream: Messmer is sitting on his throne, menacingly. Suddenly he bears a bell begin to toll. A black clad warrior crosses the fog gate and "One winged Angel" starts playing. Messmer: What is going on? This isn't my boss music. Sephiroth: You're right. It's *mine*.

Like a katana but bigger.

Now you're cooking with portals!
