Talk:Breaker Blade

I have a Breaker Blade with 46 damage, and it's only modifier is 15% KB, so I think the info needs to be updated.

Breaker Blade looks a lot like the Buster Sword
I'm shocked no one else has bothered to mention it.

This blade very much parodies the Buster Sword that the character Cloud Strife uses from the Final Fantasy VII game. The general shape of it (excluding the teeth) and the fact that it is the largest sword in the game clearly references the iconic weapon of the FF VII game.

A Goggle search on 'Buster Sword' should give someone more than enough info about it.
 * Since it hasn't been confirmed by any of the developers, it won't be added to this page (believe me, many people have noticed and added it, only for it to be removed again. It's a good thing at least, that it's at the talk page now, I guess.) Maybe it would be easier if someone just asked one of the devs for confirmation so that people won't have to edit this page over and over again.Mythteller (talk) 10:14, 1 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't recall the Buster Sword being serrated or multisegmented, but maybe the literal hundreds of times it's been depicted in official Square Enix material is somehow incorrect. If it was changed to avoid copyright, then Squeenix has a lot of filing to do, because the dozens of other giant swords in media didn't go so far in making their designs distinct enough to avoid making "giant sword" a ubiquitous archetype in anime and video games. You'd explicitly need proof from the developers (or the code, though after all this time it's unlikely there'd be any huge discoveries there) in this case, as there is actually evidence against the claim at face value.

Bringing up the Breaker Blade/Buster Sword comparison after a few years
At this point in time I feel it is pretty irrelevant to keep the "until we get dev confirmation" rule for the Breaker Blade. Not only was the last talk about it in 2016, but the sword already has a lot of comparisons to that specific weapon, even when compared to the Zanbato archetype. I'm listing them below just so there is actually backing for this claim.


 * The Breaker Blade's name is a synonym of Buster Sword. Buster/Breaker Sword/Blade.
 * Its excessive size and range is based on the Buster Sword's signature massive size.
 * The sword has the same shape as the Buster Sword. The serrated edge and other design differences are to keep it original yet clear enough to be a reference.
 * The design similarities are distinct: red handle and two colored orbs near the base. The Buster Sword has a red handle, and the orbs are based off its two materia slots.

Unless there is arguments against the above, I'll reintroduce the trivia point back on the page, as there's already been countless references in Terraria and this feels oddly specific to leave out (other pages already have possible references listed even if its not specifically dev confirmed). 70sMexi (talk) 00:04, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
