because sabers were mostly a military/cavalry thing i guess. and in these games the protagonist is always a rebel and the antagonist a military type guy

And european swords are fairly common in jap games

I can't think of anything in particular, but I'm pretty sure I've seen mooks with sabers a few times.

It's pretty much the first katana he drew, but oh well, thanks for letting me know.

Why is the horse angry during 600 AD?

It's about the tang. With a knife the tang is a visible part of the hilt. The hilt tends to be stuck to the tang from both sides. With a sword the tang goes into the hilt and is not visible.
Also a knife is a tool and a weapon.

A club, the kind with a long handle and heavier central head, is primarily for killing humans. An animal is hunted with a spear, an alt, perhaps a bow. Tools have short handles and stone heads for small precise work. The club has an optimized design for something else, it is long and balanced for the purpose of combat with an agile biped that will try to dodge blows, another human.

How is it optimized and what is it's purpose? I don't get it at all.

It's essentially a battleaxe, not a sword.

Tiny ornamental dragon most likely. But I could see some cheeky boy on the battlefield stuffing it with ignitable spices of the orient (gunpowder) to make it look like it was breathing fire. Samurai did similar shit with their helmets, which opened and closed like miniature stage shows.

I thought it was optimized for slashing people off horseback

Just wondering though doesn't the point where it starts to curve seem a bit weak structurally? Or is it actually just fine? I thought with an axe/cleaver the idea is to have weight unlike this sword which seems to forgo that.

>the protagonist and basically everyone else all use swords

Attached: swords.jpg (600x337, 44K)

You'll notice that all the weight is centered near the tip of the weapon, for heavier swings. The curved blade is meant to slice as you bring the weapon down.

The only real issue is that the cutting edge is huge for an axe, real waraxes were smaller then your hand.

It's true in the sense that they preferred chariots in general but there are a few stone carvings of them riding horses. It was probably reckless and dangerous for them, on account of the horses not being docile and well bred like the ones we have today.

Attached: Egyptian Riders on Horseback in Ancient.jpg (300x204, 21K)

What's the benefit of having a smaller edge in this case?

Control probably.

The reason they used chariots was that horses of those days could not support human riders. Only later when horses were purposefully bred, could they be ridden.

Your eyes aren't wrong, it is a little structurally weak there. That one appears to be from a museum, and therefore it was made in the past, therefore the blacksmiths weren't exactly an expert at structural integrity. The modern khopesh seems to have that part slightly sturdier. It's still more thin than the rest of the sword, that's the design of the sword, it's supposed to be top heavy, but it's not as thin and structually fragile as .

Wrong. 2 horses carrying a solid wooden cart with 2 riders could carry those 2 riders bareback. The reality is that they didn't have saddles and fasteners. They would literally have to ride a horse on its bare back, which makes combat essentially impossible unless trained from birth for it.

Because swordsman isn't a good name for someone you should fuck during the game.

But they drew themselves riding horses. The riders aren't drawn to be particularly small, they have normal stature, so it doesn't seems to be an exception for children. Certainly these horses were generally weaker but it is most likely a bad temperament that made them unpopular for riding. Many animals can technically hold a man on their back but their temperament makes it unsuitable, horses weren't good for riding without thousands of years of breeding. These horses were probably half-way domesticated, most of them good enough for pulling chariots, and very very rarely but sometimes good for riding, and it's probably not the animal's strength that was the issue.

It's probably due to lack of metallurgy skills that non-european made curved swords. The more you lack skill and knowledge and raw component for producing quality metallurgy, the more you need to compensate by making curved swords that are good at one thing, so it can do that thing without breaking. It's a meme that japanese invented folding steel and unbreakable swords. European medieval blacksmiths knew it and did it better with quality steel, and the result is that they could make a straight sword good at mostly anything and it wouldn't snap like a twig. Everyone else made a straight sword, and it snapped, and decided not to do that anymore.

Looks like a voulge.

>can't even get all his fingers on the thing properly
retarded beyond belief.

I don't understand why you're bringing up levy laws here but okay? Fact remains, ritters and other nobles were the only ones allowed to use swords. Which is why a sword like weapon used by a peon was called a knife, even if it was five feet plus long.

Picture related. That's not a sword.

Sometimes they like other swords, though.

I don't think I've ever seen a Japanese axe.
A cleaver or hatchet, sure, but never something like a battleaxe. Am I just blanking out on obvious examples or did they use other weapons instead?

This is just like with c0h, amazing designs, creative armor/uniforms, cute girls, would be perfect for a vidya in their artstyle but it will never happen.

How is one JRPG Protag better designed than 99% of his ilk?

>Picture related. That's not a sword.
Which is not, I see a two handed sword and a katzbalger-ish sword.
Maybe you can give me the laws that prohibit anyone who isn't a noble to have a sword...

>moot

Who?

They didn't really used any sort of battleaxes, sappers would use some sort of tool axe if need be, but nothing similar to the dane axe for instance.
Naginata and somehow nagamaki would sorta fill that spot.

Obscure 2 did this and it was kino af

Weight distribution gives the weapon good momentum to help cutting, recovery is most likely poorer than with other sort of swords though.

DOI 10.1057/9780230305519 mentions sumptuary laws involving swords as status symbols. What the actual name of the law in question is I have no bloody clue.
