matto Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, Some of you already know that this sword made it to the Design Council poll which consists in voting for the best 3 melee concepts of the 7 chosen by DE. However, it seems that DE didn't think that a translation was needed, or maybe didn't have time or someone who could do it. I think it is quite unfair for this concept and here I would like to provide you a quick translation for you, Design Council members, and you curious forum users. It won't probably change anything as the gap between the third most voted weapon and Fujin is already big. Anyway... Fujin by V47_yu-jiFaction: TENNO Type: Long sword Description: Fujin is a new sword based on a concept of a defense weapon that can turn into a one shot weapon. By blocking an attack, this sword charges impact energy. This energy is then changed into highly condensed gas (plasma I think) and can be released in one blow. This energy charge is structured in 6 blocks. Two ways to charge the sword : Blocking an ennemy attack = 1 block charged Hiting an ennemy with a charge attack = 2 blocks Two ways to release the energy : Jump attack Stealth attack (the target will explode, and the explosion will make AoE damages) *The whole energy will be released in one attack, so it doesn't depend on how many blocks you charged. Lore : This sword was created using some Corpus retro-engineering about energy conversion. When engaging the sword (taking the pose shown as the main illustration, 抜刀時), the entire sword should look like it was breathing as each block is charging (see illustration with smoke getting out of the block from two holes, and the sword's blocks movements in 7 steps ). When a great hand and the sword spirit connect, the sword reveals its true power. EDIT : If someone find some misunderstandings in my transation, just let me know please :) Edited January 16, 2014 by matto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) OOh nice didn't see that one ! BUt which are the 6 others? their names have to remain hidden or? There's a thread about this melee concept in GD. Just check it, I think the names of the others are mentionned there.

Raigir Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Fujin had my vote. It's unfortunate it is so far behind for such a cool weapon. (in votes) Edited January 15, 2014 by Raigir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the translation! Though most I could assume since it looks like it was an exploding sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulEchelon Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the translation. This really does look like a pretty awesome weapon, and I was wondering exactly what it was. And it's obviously not just an "exploding sword". There's quite a bit of originality that I find very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endorphinz Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Because we totally needed more generic swords in the arsenal. gg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deidaku Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 SO let me get this straight , you can stealthily kill your enemies but then blowing up your cover by blow them up ? seems absurd but awesome XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBrigandi Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) This and psi-jitte are the best unique weapons from bunch. Shame too see them down the ranks for more generic weapons that are everywhere else... Edited January 15, 2014 by iBrigandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawGritz Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks so much. I wish I could have voted for more than 1 like others. Oh well. this is very nice nonetheless. Thanks for translating the Kanji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishki88 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 lol wait wait...they didnt accept the concept because they cant read it? *jumps out window* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaiken Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I liked Kobako better to be honest.. though I guess it wasn't much of a melee weapon. Edited January 16, 2014 by LocoWithGun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Edited with more informations after the "lore" part. SO let me get this straight , you can stealthily kill your enemies but then blowing up your cover by blow them up ? seems absurd but awesome XD Indeed, the most surprising thing about this sword is DE choosing it. Don't get me wrong, I love the concept, but it's using at least 2 mechanics that are broken in Warframe : stealth and blocking. Plus the fact that the author is saying that this sword should look like it is "breathing", with some animations. Also, it should require a kind of stance (see the main illustration with Excal's pose) during which the sword is using those special animations. So yeah... fix stealth, launch Damage 2.0, and then you can make this sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJunior Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Man, I think I am in love with this weapon. It's a shame to hear it is not going to win the votes as it seems. But man.. This thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewens Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 So THIS is the fujin. It's simple but simple is good when done right. The colored panels along the blade look like they would light up as energy charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colored panels along the blade look like they would light up as energy charges. Indeed, as I said, the author is talking about "highly condensed gas" or "high voltage gas" so I guess he means "plasma" which could explain why it is glowing.

AXCrusnik Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Awesome! Thanks for the translation. I voted for this solely for the level of detail in the image! I knew there had to be some amazing secret hidden in that text, since the creator put so much work into it, and that was enough for me. It's too bad the Fujin probably won't be picked... It looks really awesome. Edited January 16, 2014 by AXCrusnik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventura_Highway Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I was just happy with that thing being a explody blade. This is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
