Model differences
Are we assuming artistic license to explain why the model is not the same as Embers and ACCC? The model used for Rebellion is based on the concept art for the movie. Do we ship of Theseus this or what? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 10:19, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Lacrosse brings up a very great point, and I'm not sure if we are right to assume this is the same sword as the one used in Embers and ACCC since normally we go by the weapon model in making these decisions. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 23:10, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- So to be on the safe side for now, should I cut back the appearances to just the film and ACReb, since I was the once who added the full list to begin with? – Darman (talk) 02:30, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- It sounds like the weapon isnt yet out in Rebellion but once it is I'll ask Bunny. But I don't expect much. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 04:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- You've already made the edits Darman, and I'm not sure which way is the safer side in this case. I think we can just keep it as is until we can see if we can get some more info from the Rebellion team or when it releases. Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 07:10, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- I also realized the manga uses its own unique design as well. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 07:14, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Huh, I did not notice that about the manga, either. Good eye. I just thought that the ACReb sword was the same as from ACCC, Embers, and the Fassbender film since—with the exception of a brief scene as an elder woman at the end of ACCC's "Vengeance"—Shao has always been dressed in black robes with a jian over her shoulder whenever she makes an appearance in AC media. Without Shao having full costume changes like Ezio's trilogy, or even different robe dyes like Arbaaz or Nikolai (even if Animus mods of presumably in-universe designs), I figured any differences with the sword hilt were just artistic license. – Darman (talk) 12:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Crafting materials is a Rebellion mechanic
I don't think the crafting for legendary weapons in Rebellion should be taken literally. For example, just because we use ancient tablets in the game to make the special personal gear of Black Flag characters, it doesn't necessarily mean that those gear all needed ancient tablets for real. What I mean is that even the in-universe Rebellion has simulations of characters that would be anachronistic for the Spanish Inquisition time period while providing the user with the ability to "make" the unique weapons of those anachronistic characters. That all of these weapons require common crafting materials like the ancient tablets, Damascus steel, gold silk and/or gold bar is not a reliable indicator of what each of these characters' unique weapons were actually made of. These common ingredients are a gameplay mechanic even from an in-universe standpoint.
While I'm at it, I should also point out that I don't see any apparent spoilers for this page. The "spoiler" tag is only for articles which actually have spoilers, not articles which are recent to spoil but don't actually contain any spoilery information, unless you count the weapon stats and crafting materials for this weapon spoilers.
