Guild Wars 2

Half kidding here =)

Seriously though, those swords x’D He had such nice sensible swords in Factions, and then in the pic they made he has got huuuuge clunky swords.

And everybody knows that the only reason he was an assassin(aside from assassinating) was because of the mechanic of wielding dual swords, Shiro’s blades were only daggers because of mechanics, first and foremost he was a guard and a bodyguard, not to mention he used warrior motions, if anything he should probably have been a w/a.

Anyhow, clunky blades =_=

Those are these:

probably just the best fit they could find in the game already. GW2 isn’t great with the whole sensible weaponry thing, though there are some just nothing that would have fit Shiro better. (in case any art devs read this, my god the Gallant weapons are awesome, exactly what I’ve been hoping for, more sensible)

He was so bad kitten , his daggers were 10 times longer everyone else’s.

But as for the screen shot…. its mainly the terrible stances of the models. Its subtle, but all off-hands are positioned to assume the character is using a Shield. This over pronounces the position of the left arm, and leaves the wrist in a bad position that holding anything remotely long puts it dangerously close to the person’s face.

They can’t even make the claim that its a good parry position; as even looking at it causes triggers a sympathetic spatial awareness warning. Not even the most claustrophobic jump puzzles in the game managed to cause that feeling.

that screenshot is not Shiro……it’s a Revenant…..

Yes that’s a paid actor portraying Shiro.

He can’t turn in his grave, he got turned into a jade statue.

Well people in this franchise don’t even technically stay dead, all death is in Tyria seems to be mostly a change in form.

Wait until my Revenant duel wields flimsy scimitars…

He will turn to deep in his grave that he would strike a Ley line!

Everbody knows it is not shiro hahaahhaaha x’D but they made the char look like him, and they mentioned his blades in the post in such a way that it sounded as if the pic was of his blades =)

I’m more sad about the fact that didn’t even have the foresight to have Shiro’s blade skin’s ready for this unveiling. Out of ALL the things thats come out of the art department for the gem store, THIS had to be the one thing they overlooked?

Shiro’s an assassin for more than dual-wielding: he also has assassin-oriented skills (albeit at a much greater power level than available to PCs). Riposting Shadows is essentially a super-powered shadowstep, for instance.

Shiro Tagachi was like a god. Maybe a half-god.

Puny god, dies to punishment hexes.
