FFXI Great Katana 7

The Ashura.

Katana (刀, Katana?), also known as ninja swords, dark blades, and knife, is a type of weapon in many Final Fantasy games. The most prominent katana is the Masamune. Other recurring katana include: Kotetsu, Kikuichimonji, Ashura, Genji Blade and the Muramasa. Muramasa and Masamune are the two most powerful, though the Masamune is usually idolized as the strongest.

Profile

Katana is the Japanese word for "sword", but is also commonly used to denote a group of sword types originating from Japan. They bear a distinctive curved, single edged blade with a flat shaped guard, a simple handle wrapped in cloth, and subtle designs that distinguish their identities from other blades. Most are named based on the blacksmith who forged them. While specifically a backsword, a form of sword not unlike that of a saber, in the Final Fantasy series, katana are exotic blades, swift enough to attack in the blink of an eye or having mystical powers.

In games that have classes, katana are often reserved for Japanese-styled classes, such as the Samurai, Parivir, and Ninja. Installments that bear item descriptions and lore often note that katana are not of the game's world, originating from faraway lands that are reminiscent of Japan; other games have accessible locations where katana and other oriental weaponry are hinted to stem from.

Final Fantasy XI

Template:Sideicon

FFXI Katana 2F

The Ikarigiri.

Katana are one-handed blades used by Ninja, who are capable of dual-wielding them. In higher levels, dual-wielded katana deal impressive damage over time and moderately strong Weapon Skills. Great katana, the two-handed variants of this weapon, are the main weapon for Samurai, although Ninja can also equip a select few of them.

Great katana deal high damage but have high delay. The strength of the great katana comes from the versatility in its Weapon Skills. Most great katana Weapon Skills are strategically placed all around the skillchain chart, making it skillchain-friendly with other weapon types. This works well with the Samurai because they can unleash Weapon Skills and skillchains faster than any other job.

Final Fantasy XII

Template:Sideicon

Murasame-ffxii

The Murasame.

Katana can be used after being unlocked on the License Board. They are valued for their combo ability, which can be enhanced by the Genji Gloves, and are second only to the one of the ninja swords.

The damage formula for katanas is:

Due to the weight put on user's Strength and Magick Power, but also user's level, the recommended katana user is Vaan.

In the Zodiac versions, only the Bushi can equip katana.

Final Fantasy XV

Template:Sideicon

Cor-Katana-FFXV

Cor Leonis's katana.

Katana is a not a weapon type, but appear as distinguishable swords marked by their aesthetic. Katanas are greatswords and thus can be equipped by Noctis and Gladiolus. Ignis wields the Katana of the Warrior in Armiger Chain, and was shown using a katana in early footage. In the final game, he only equips polearms and daggers.

According to the item lore of the Masamune, katana are not originally of the nation of Lucis and originate from a faraway and unknown land. Thus they are most likely weapons culturally adopted by Lucis in reverence of their technical design and for having been wielded by the Lucian king known as The Warrior. Cor Leonis wields both a katana and a wakizashi for his respective Primary and Secondary Arms, and has a fighting style that makes proper use of them.

  • Kotetsu (guest character weapon)
  • Kikuichimonji (guest character weapon)
  • Masamune (DLC)
  • Genji Blade (Episode Gladiolus)
  • Katana of the Warrior (royal arm)
