"Cool!" Maybe that's the first time that crossed our mind when we saw Squall's mainstay sword in Final Fantasy VII. The combination of a Revolver with the Long Sword succeeded in creating a weapon that was not only unique, but also efficient.

This sword also inspired a lot of other gunblade games, but of course, among them, Squall Leonhart's Gunblade was the most iconic. And hopefully Final Fantasy VIII will also be announced to get the Remake version, just like the prequel.

Not only a mere heirloom, Dante's main weapons are given names like living things, such as the twin pistols of Ebony & Evory, and of course Rebellion swords.

Since the first series up to the fifth series, Dante will still hold the Rebellion as its flagship weapon. But in a Devil May Cry V trailer launched by Capcom , a broken Rebellion is seen in the hands of the main antagonist - Urizen. So what is the fate of Rebellion? let's just wait for Devil May Cry V to be released next year.

A key shaped sword? that's a unique concept that is presented in Kingdom Hearts , not only has the world unique, the various weapons presented also feel anti-mainstream. Besides being very effective in fighting, Keyblade also has a function as the name implies, which is used as a "key".
