Unbalanced - cannot be controlled by the wielder well. It would take an unaturally strong person to weild it. That’s why Sephiroth was the only one who could.
Masamune was a royal swordsmith in Fuedal Japan.

Ahh ok nodachi yes I’ve heard that name before, sounds right.
For the unbalenced thing, well it’s a video game. Laws of earth don’t apply there so I don’t see why that was pointed out? :stuck_out_tongue: It’s an obvious fact.

And reeeeally? I like that name.

Look at it this way: it would be even more unbalanced if it had a short handle. It’s Odachi, Odachi = Great Sword.

It WAS actually pointed out in the game that Sephiroth was the only one who could wield the Masamune (and yes, that is the name of his sword. I know that Masamune was a person, but there is a Japanese legend about one of his swords, which was named for him).
