@Maelstroa No offense but, what on earth are you talking about? What historical longsword or greatsword's blade was double the width of its hilt and was made to break bones instead of, oh, you know, cut them? Like a sword is supposed to do? Unlike a club or a hammer. If your intent is to kill someone with blunt trauma whilst using a sword, then just use a murderstroke, aka turn the sword around and hit them with the pommel. That's a legitimate technique to deal with armored opponents. Or perhaps just half-sword the blade so you can turn it into an improvised spear. 'At no point would any sane blacksmith make a dull, thick, overly-wide SWORD'' intended for blunt force. It defeats the purpose of using a ''BLADE. 'The "swords" that you see in things like Berserk and Final Fantasy are nowhere near any kind of accurate representation of historical swords.

I, for one, like the Prime's design. The blade does look thinner between the flat sides, which is great in my opinion. It looks like it can more effectively cut enemies in two. In the midst of anime-worthy swords like the Gram and War, Galatine shines as the one most realistic-looking greatsword in the game, and the Prime variant seems to be no different.

Although, I do question the design choices for just adding additional quillons to the "crossguard," as well as the choice to invert the pommel a bit. Instead, it'd be cool if they made it look more like an actual crossguard, perhaps shortening the quillons(horizontally and vertically) and extending straighter ones from the end of the grip. It would also be nice to perhaps have it glow a bit brighter when channeled, to represent the perhaps "holy power" it contains, just like the legendary weapon it's based on.

 Overall though, I think it's pretty nice.
