They thinned it out, definitely. It looks like it has no weight, and that's not a good thing. A shame for a sword to be made at it's "best form" and be so disappointing with such a lavish namesake as it does.

Also, @ApocFTW, Galatine is modeled after swords that lengths as Greatswords like Zweihanders and Claymores. The blade of this prime is not even as wide as the hilt handle where as swords of the era and aforementioned make tended to have blades that were double the width at from the start of the base if not slightly more, most tapering off. The blades tended to be made for crushing or dibilitating armor and striking through gambesons. Galatine Prime looks like they made an overly long Estoc and forgot that Estocs are piercing weapons with no edge and stiff, thrusting points.

Let's hope that it at least gets a large energy effect around its blade to compensate the size and add width.
