Longer than the Long Sword?

  • Swords, I've always been fond of them. A beautiful sword is literally the first thing I searched for in this wonderous game.

    When I stumbled upon a Long Sword (such beauty I might add), I thought: "Well, this must be the longest sword in the game, right?"

    The question has left me wondering ever since.

    Which sword is the longest?

    Although length is not as important as the sword's overall design (and there is an abundance of well-designed weapons, long or short), I finally did some research, and compared some of the swords I had. I'm sure there are quite a few missing, yet I hope that I've captured at least the few swords that rivals the Long Sword in length.

    Now let's feast our eyes on some beautiful swords! The following pictures were captured in the same pose (it's a one-take, with absolutely no character movement) while under the effect of a Ghostly Hero tonic. Therefore the sizes of the swords in these pictures are comparable. The swords are arranged according to the horizontal length from the handle to the tip. Some swords may seem larger due to the curve, or the longer "tails" (the design at the rear of the handle). It took a while comparing them one-on-one, and some of them are really close in terms of length.

    The names of the swords, from long to short

    (The enormous ones)

    Wyvern Blade

    Sephis Sword (a needle-like tip makes it slightly longer)

    Obsidian Edge (surprise! it's almost exactly as long as the Emerald Blade)

    Emerald Blade

    Dead Sword (also a surprise for me)

    Long Sword

    Turai's Sword (I'm amazed it didn't make the top 5)

    Runic Blade

    Greater Sage Blade

    Fellblade

    Wingblade Sword

    Colossal Scimitar

    (The medium ones)

    Fiery Dragon Sword (flames not included)

    Gothic Sword

    Platinum Broadsword

    Crystalline Sword (actually, it's a quest reward from pre-searing)

    Brute Sword

    Jade Sword

    Forked Sword

    Plagueborn Sword

    Oni Blade

    Shadow Blade

    Fiery Embersteel Blade

    (The medium-short and cute ones)

    Emerald Edge

    Elemental Sword

    Sage Blade

    Katana

    Shinobi Blade

    Broadsword

    Vertebreaker

    Lesser Sage Blade

    Dadao Sword

    Fiery Gladius

    Jitte

    Golden Phoenix Blade (has a long and beautiful tail)

    Short Sword (collector folks like to call these "Long Swords")

    So there you have it folks! What do you think? Is the Wyvern Blade the longest of them all? Did I accidentally miss a few very long swords?

    As a little bonus, I went to test the length of Turai's Sword compared to the Eternal Blade (standing on the same spot as a Ghostly Hero NPC). Here it is:


    And that's all for now. Thanks for reading. I hoped that I at least entertained you. :)

  • Based on these images, it looks like Wyvern might have the longest blade. If you're measuring like entire sword length (tip of handle to tip of blade), it looks like the dead sword might be the longest overall.
