    2.5lbs is NUTS for that length! wtf the Chinese swords are REALLY under appreciated!

    Yup. I've got a hand-and-a-half one that's a bit shorter, but you can switch from longsword techniques to rapier techniques to arming sword techniques effortlessly.

    My 40.2 inch blade longsword feder that I use for HEMA is only about 3 lbs. People tend to overestimate how heavy swords actually were. You wanted something light and nimble, so you could quickly transition from guarding yourself to counterattacking your opponent. At 3 lbs I can swing that longsword for hours before my shoulders get too tired to be effective anymore and it still feels very strong in the bind. You need far less weight than what people expect swords to weigh.

    I love that this is a series where the weapons don’t have to be practical, cuz the more souls you have or runes in this case the more physical strength you’d canonically have. Yet they still make them at least somewhat practical.

    That's because the principles of real-world weaponry still apply no matter how much strength you have, outside of the most extreme examples. You still want your weapon to be well-balanced to make it more maneuverable, you still don't want it to be too heavy because even for people with super strength a lighter weapon will move faster than a heavy one, and spinning (in the context of a 1v1) is still a terrible idea no matter how fast you are because it's completely unnecessary.

    I would like to shout out another lightweight Chinese greatsword; the *Miaodao.* Its functionally a Chinese take on Nodachi where they also took the pipeback from European pipeback sabers to make a super nimble, slash-focused longsword.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but this category of weapons seems like a historical Bastard Sword. It doesn't belong in neither one handed sword or two handed swords. So calling them "Light Greatswords" may be just a correction on From part for mixing terms here across multiple games. Also, this is by far my favorite "type" of swords. Great versatility, while still keeping appearance of just regular one handed sword. Thing of beauty ❤⚔️ One more thing: I would completely fall in love with this category if there's one "Light Greatswords" specifically which features multiple different techniques and styles like series of quick slashes and stabs for light attacks, a pummel bash for heavy or even give it pseudo stance switching with ash of war to switch between one handed and two handed moveset. You know, the thing that Bastard Sword is known for: ability to wielded both one and two handed

    Yeah, "Bastard Swords" could have been its own weapon class, but since they already have a weapon named Bastard Sword awkwardly placed in the Greatswords category, they had to come up with a different designation for these. That being said, they also have a weapon named "Greatsword" which has never been a part of the Greatswords class, and is instead a Colossal Sword (Ultra Greatsword in Dark Souls), so who knows what their process is when coming up with names and classifications.

    Well, we can't say Milady is the ONLY Light Greatsword. We just only saw one Light Greatsword in the Showcases, but we only saw 2 main areas, and didn't get to see all of the item pickups, and there's over 100 new weapons in the DLC, so I'm sure one of the other 100 is another Light Greatsword.
