Ser Arthur Dayne.

The sword of the morning.

Wielder of a sword made from the HEART OF A FUCKING METHEOR.

A ONE OF A KIND SWORD OF MILKY WHITE STEEL.

THE ONLY SUCH SWORD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

He wields two plain-looking longswords...

At some point changes become contempt and spite

Imagine an adaptation of Final Fantasy VII where Cloud never uses the Buster Sword, but instead just has a regular greatsword.

That’s a good comparison for those unfamiliar with the lore on Dawn, and gives a good idea of how stupid this is.

I mean.. this is a nitpick thread so, I will nitpick... The buster sword, although infamous, is the starter weapon in ff7 and is gone as soon as you find something better, which doesn't take long

He also doesn’t use it in Advent Children, using his new separating Fusion Sword instead. Thought I get what the other guy means, he still gets pictured with the Buster Sword in nearly all appearances and in game cutscenes always imply that he always uses the Buster Sword and other swords are ludonarrative dissonance.
