-> "Silly Squall, bringing a sword to a gunfight...": ''No matter what timeframe the game is set in -- past, present, or future -- the main hero and his antagonist will both use a sword for a weapon. (Therefore, you can identify your antagonist pretty easily right from the start of the game just by looking for the other guy who uses a sword.) These swords will be far more powerful than any gun and often capable of distance attacks.''

->A properly balanced sword is the most versatile weapon for close quarters ever devised. Pistols and guns are all offense, no defense; close on him fast and a man with a gun can’t shoot, he has to stop you before you reach him. Close on a man carrying a blade and you’ll be spitted like a roast pigeon—unless you have a blade and can use it better than he can.\\
\\
A sword never jams, never has to be reloaded, is always ready. Its worst shortcoming is that it takes great skill and patient, loving practice to gain that skill; it can’t be taught to raw recruits in weeks, nor even months.
-->-- '''Creator/RobertAHeinlein''', ''Literature/GloryRoad''



->'''L. Bob Rife''': You're a dead man. You're stuck on the Raft, asshole. I got a million Myrmidons here. You gona kill 'em all?
->'''Hiro Protagonist''': Swords don't run out of ammo.
