Listen I don't know anything about Cloud but even I can tell this is a miss... the Jitte is a dagger. Litterally any sword would've been better.

YOU COULD HAVE CHOSEN LITERALLY ANY ACTUAL SWORD

It's fine. Its not supposed to be a jitte, it just happens to do the exact same thing. So essentially the blacksmiths crafting Jitte, just pack more awesome per ounce

Also, there’s already a Buster Sword card but (thus far) no love for Cloud’s other iconic sword.

revelo.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh no

trapswdoore.bsky.social•8 days ago

The jitte isnt a sword or a dagger, its closer to a baton. In any case the buster sword is 40lbs of steel with an edge.

I think it fits when you consider the buster sword IS a blunt weapon.

I would have made the Buster Sword reskin the Excalibur from Assassin's Creed

mythialsabre.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'd rather have the Excalibur from Final Fantasy be a reskin of Excalibur from Assassin's Creed lol

Flavorfully tho, I view the counters like materia

snazzysocksmoon.bsky.social•8 days ago

Make it the Sword of Dungeons and Dragons you cowards

levdev.bsky.social•8 days ago

My guess for the reasoning is Magic's most iconic equipment coated with the flavor of cloud's most iconic weapon. That being said...it's a bit of stretch.

levdev.bsky.social•8 days ago

The last line of reasoning though...Jitte seems really good with stoneforge Cloud here.

levdev.bsky.social•8 days ago

Though the most Occam's razor reasoning though...they wanted you to have fun trying Jitte in the new equipment precon.

levdev.bsky.social•8 days ago

With that, have a flavor skin version of the card to put in that precon.

kilnfiendpotter.bsky.social•8 days ago

You'd definitely need to stretch a jitte to get it that big.

Cloud *doesn't* use his big smackin' sword with surgical precision??

levdev.bsky.social•8 days ago

😂😂 Ok, that provided a chuckle.

sundaecat.bsky.social•8 days ago

The giants nonmagical jitte. No it will not resize to your medium size.

kjthehero.bsky.social•8 days ago

I can see where Wizards was going with this. It works with each variant of Cloud in the set, but works best with the mono white version to stack counters faster

Also, I'm referring to the Buster Sword as a 6 foot dagger from now on 😆

hugmonger.bsky.social•8 days ago

Cue the crocodile Dundee meme

kjthehero.bsky.social•8 days ago

Cloud gets to play Knifey Spooney

cutemonster.bsky.social•8 days ago

Jitte has 3 abilities but the Buster Sword only has 2 material slots, this is a flavor fail and my immersion is shattered.

squadronhawk.bsky.social•8 days ago

Maybe the charge counters are the closest they could think to evoke Materia as a concept? 🤷

Though with this art having blue and green on the sword, imagine if it was Sword of Body and Mind 🔥

rmorganslade.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hard disagree. This is a perfect flavor win without having to create a whole materia subtheme

devoidedh.bsky.social•8 days ago

THANK YOU, and honestly, the little hook sword for the 2-color sword from this same lair would've been better, and this in place of that sword

ddoz.bsky.social•8 days ago

Big oof

tahoth.bsky.social•8 days ago

Also like... if we're not gonna stick to the same type of weapon, the next best option is right there in the same lair. Giant unwieldy weapon that hits like a truck.

hugmonger.bsky.social•8 days ago

Embercleave or Reaver Cleaver would have been so much better.
