Under videogames, the example of Final Fantasy Tactics; The Samurai is a harder class to access, and has unique mystical powers that are... worthless AS a samurai, and have a strong probability of destroying Katana. Also the Knight\'s break skill is far, far more useful (especially because it\'s compatible with ranged weapons). Katana underperform compared to Knight Swords, and aren\'t noticeably better than late game regular Swords either. The other late-game asian themed class, the Ninja can use them as a strong throwing weapon, but they are then lost forever.

Long story short, everything about the gameplay of FFT seems to de-emphasize katana because the best uses involve getting rid of them. And there\'s a whole slew of variant Knight classes for special character that have vastly superior mystic skills which require western swords to be equipped, so even from a fictional stand-point they really aren\'t anything special. Not only does it fail to demonstrate the trope in question, I strongly feel that this is a subverted trope example, if anything.
