>Katanas exist in Souls games
Why? World travel wasn't as common back then, so you weren't as likely to see foreign weapons as you would now since travel is much easier. I could purchase a gun developed in Israel and it wouldn't be a problem because we have the tech to ship and order it in a matter of days, while it would take months or years to bring a katana to western Europe at the time, and even then, why would you? A scimitar would make more sense since the Europeans had MUCH more contact with middle easterners than ching chongs from an irrelevant island. Hell, the Europeans had more contact with CHINA than Japan. I wouldn't even be that upset if they had daos because at least the silk road was often traveled for spice and shit like that. Why even bother including weapons from Japan?
>b-but it's their culture
You know they wouldn't even be there if the game wasn't developed there and the Japanese didn't have to shove their PERCEIVED superiority into everything. It would be like America making a game about the Warring States period of China and deciding to put George Washington's sword in as a legendary weapon that Shi Huang Di could use. It would be like slavs putting an AK-47 in a game based on the French Revolution just because. It would be like the Irish putting Gae Bolg in a game based on Admiral Yi's quelling of the Japanese invasion of Korea. It would be like Indians putting an Urumi in a game about Magellan's fight in the Philippines. It's retarded, it's not realistic, and only those dirty filthy Japs do it because of how conceited they are about their country and everything that comes out of it. I shouldn't even have to explain this to you.
Katanas exist in Souls games
Because I want to break that iron sand made sword with my longsword and lord over weebs, easy.
All though going on sword forums the back and forth between katana being amazing to shit is all over the place.
>back then
It's not a real world.
>World travel wasn't as common back then
How do you know what is and isn't common in the Souls universe? We know of several characters that are from the Souls' version of the Orient.
It's a fictional world where lands intertwine, you gigantic dumbass.
>Inserting superiority
Katanas are average to shit in all souls games
2/10 (you)
But it is BASED on western Europe. If I make a world based on Mexico and make it nothing but black people, guess what happens?
It's not based on anything beyond architecture and weapons.
You have a Mexico filled with mexicans?
except dark souls isn't nothing but katanas
