Title: Knights of the Square
Post by: Jawmax on May 05, 2006, 08:37:17 pm

They could have that name for two reasons. One they have a square table duh. Second Squaresoft nuff said.

Or... It could be a joke on the Knights of the Round Table. That's what I assumed when I saw the name.

That book was written in 1997... I SENSE THETF!

But yeah, it was a joke about the Round Table, the Masamune being like Excaluiber. However, Square could come from Squaresoft, as well.

Keeping in mind the Masamune's real name is the Grandleon it would really add to the whole Medieval European Knight thing.  I always assumed Round Table -> Square Table.

I looked at some translations of the Japanese version (Ryogamasaki's prerelease/final comparsion translation work and Kwhazit's translations), and those versions have no reference to a "Square Table." Another connection to the real world invented by Ted Woolsey...

I saw somewhere else that they wanted to keep the name of the sword exotic, so whats really important is that the sword seems outlandish.

It still is a broadsword, but Frog's no King Arthur.

No but it is implied he is a Lancealot, falling in love with Leene and stuff.  Like the Frog Ending...  That was strange.  But the implications are pretty obvious.
