yeah, they're cool, blah blah blah eye candy blah blah. I'm tired of weapon concepts not being remotely functional.

While these look pretty, the only ones that look like they could actually be used effectively are the one fifth from the left, the scimitar-ish one, and the axehead thing second from the right.

When designing melee weapons try to always balance the weapon out. For instance, in final fantasy VII, all of the weapons are incredibly huge or incredibly small. None of the swords could be held, let alone used. In soul calibur (minus the zweihander that siegfried uses) and in tenchu, although the weapons are very fantastical, they still use the same balance principles that go into actual weapon design.

HELL YEAH. Sorry, just..niiiice weapon designs. In a lot of the fantasy games nowadays they just come up with the most boring crap. I dig these.

And the guy at the pool table? Look. I'll be honest. We need more of that stuff.

I have to agreee on the functionality of a couple of the weapons- really the one on the far right -- looks good but you's stab your self on the quillions. The other stuff is great! keep it up!
