Melee Weapons other then Sword...
I was just thinking How it would be kinda sweet if I could use a hammer instead of a sword...
THat way... Every strike would just knock enemy back -But I would need to hit it at the perfect range... and do some expert timing..
Either way... It would have to be longer then the sword... -Slow... -And if you didn't hit your enemy at the end... you got screwed

Re: Melee Weapons other then Sword...
I'd like to see something like a double spiked ball flail type weapon! Bit of a mouthful to both say & recieve in the face after being swung by Jehuty It could be activated by holding down the melee button and the attack unleashed when you relase the button! Partner this with cool ''winding up'' & ''strike'' animations & you've got a winner

That sounds kinda interesting Doesn't seem too different from the sword though

Re: Melee Weapons other then Sword...
Hi fellow ZOE fans, noob here, glad I found this place.
Anyway a different melee weapon other than Jehuty's sword eh....Well, I'd like to see something like a staff, kinda like Anubis, or perhaps a whip like weapon.

I dont mean to flame anybody I understand that people have a right to tell there opinions but I really have to disagree with that.

Re: Melee Weapons other then Sword...
In the end I would say the Blades are still the best thing to go with, the way they're kept along the arms length when not in use makes sense.
In the event of a new Orbital Frame taking the lead role, I would maybe say something like having a blade on each arm, resulting in a dual blade approach to combat would be quite nice. In order for something different, perhaps some kind of energy based weapon, perhaps you could have something like an energy whip to be used in conjunction with a blade, allow you to catch enemies with the whip, but then that all comes a bit close to what you could essentially do using the Wisp sub-weapon in The Second Runner.
I think the most important aspect to consider would be the fact that it needs to be a weapon that can be used repeatedly in quick succession, given the pace of the combat in ZOE games. Don't want to slow it up, with bulky slow melee weapons. ZOE was always about offering the high paced action reminiscent of mecha anime, over the laborious, bulky machines offered in existing mech games such as the Metal Core series.

Re: Melee Weapons other then Sword...
Agreed. I have been thinking about the duel blade aproach as well but where would the sheild go. I dont think kojima would go for the palm shield.

Re: Melee Weapons other then Sword...
Good point, I hadn't thought about that plate Jehuty generates the shield with. I guess you could mount it somewhere else... like on its forehead. Then it can go around head butting peoples attacks to block them... ...yeah okay, maybe not.

Re: Melee Weapons other then Sword...
Dual blade and flexibility to have different kinds would be nice; however, as far as flexibility goes -- I don't think it should interfere with the storyline (the other parts of the game it should be flexible/customizable).
Lasers (like the robotic/cheap Orbital Frames have) might be interesting too.
