Seij Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) If that Katana is to be added in addition to the upcoming melee update...PLEASE! Please please please, have that Katana worn the other way up.I don't know if anyone else knows much about Kendo or Iaido, but the katana is worn the bladed side up. Doesn't Digital Extremes do research on this stuff before making them? I mean even some anime that portray much less realistic content have got this part right. I would expect Warframe's next update that focuses heavily on melee to at least present melee with integrity. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, and I don't know if anyone would like to add to this. This IS in the feedback category right? So here's my feedback. Also, you might think this is disrespectful to the developers, but what they've done is disrespect the sword and it's art. Just my 2 cents.

Dranz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Not much I can do other than voice my opinion as well. If you're going to do a katana, please do it right. I understand that far future space ninja might do things their own way, but having the katana be worn properly would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGear Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 That sword looks way too samurai for a space ninja.... Tenno are pretty much Space Ninja/Samurai/Pirates anyway. Also, Ninja did in fact also use katanas IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zergla Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 And why was/is the katana supposed to be worn that way? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticMoss Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) do you pull it out in old style way or just pull it right away? you know pull it out so if something infront of you get's hurt Edited April 1, 2014 by SarahApple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seij Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 And why was/is the katana supposed to be worn that way? Just curious. There is a huge discussion about that over in the other post mentioned earlier. But the quick answer is: 1. Tradition 2. Safety when drawing the katana in a real life situation 3. Efficiency of the draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
