Excalibur II https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/0/03/ExcaliburII-ffix-knightsword.png/revision/latest?cb=20120623150147 Where I'm from, we have a saying. "Only Nixon could go to China." Excalibur II purports to "improve upon perfection." As we previously discussed, there is beauty in imperfection. This is an important thing to remind my dear readers because I refuse to believe that the pursuit of improving perfection can be anything more than a fool's errand -- an imperfect effort. Nevertheless, I must needs acknowledge that the Excalibur II, first introduced in hit 2000 video game Final Fantasy IX as the reward for a ludicrous optional challenge, is a prime example of a very sharp piece of metal. What I like most about Excalibur II is just how extra it is. The legendary holy sword Excalibur is the romantic conquest of Final Fantasy V's much-adored Gilgamesh. History tells us that in Gilgamesh's mind, there is no sword more desirable than Excalibur. Yet along comes a spider. This sword is so extra that the English localization for Final Fantasy XII didn't even know what to do with it; one of Gilgamesh's swords in that game is labeled "Excalibur2" but overseas the asset is called "NOT_USED." NOT_USED. What title could possibly be more direct about how extra Excalibur II truly is? The English localization team knew the fabled weapon is above human hands and also above the hands of... whatever Gilgamesh is, exactly. They wisely and cleverly and clearly deliberately opted to respect the distance between mankind and Excalibur II. Excalibur II's Final Fantasy IX birthplace lists its attack power is 108. This refutes the common claim that Final Fantasy IX lists its weapon strengths between 1 and 100. But obviously this was the original plan; Excalibur II is simply so extra that it refused to follow directions. I will never wield Excalibur II and I am okay with that. Well, technically I wielded it in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. But that doesn't count. --- Hi! I'm Quinton.
