Nah, it's alright - the other one was getting old anyways.
Yeh, plus a few fictional ones. For instance, Cloud's buster sword.

Although, the way he handles it
so smoothly.. frankly defies most laws of physics. @_@

My humble sword, being a factory piece, doesn't even have one  Instead, it has a serial number. But I'll have to be content with it until I can afford a pricier one. That's one thing about collecting swords. It never ends. There's always another one you'd like to have.

Then there's those of us without money.

So I think up lots of 'em. ^_~
