Is having real looking samurai gear possible in eso? We have armor sort of... I mean clothes but not a buckler style shield they would use. Also they used bows and was very proficient in them so a now in the style we have as well please. And finally the two katanas. The great katana being the bigger curved blade not a straight blade like now and also the wakizashi. The smaller probably lesser known katana which would work great with the small buckler style shield or dual wield the two wakizashis.... Although they was not technically dual wielded irl...
Ty!

    The Akaviri motif is based off Samurai stylings. It's purchased page-by-page with Alliance Points by pvping in Cyrodiil. Might not be as accurate as what you're after but it's there.

    To add to my above post, the Akaviri weapons are sadly not Samurai styled much to many peoples' dismay. There's a thread on it here: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/226316/the-akaviri-swords-motif/p1

    It even points out how katanas have been present in the Elder Scrolls before, so there's no reason lore-wise why you couldn't get your hands on one at some point OP :). I know someone who's so annoyed about the swords not being katanas that he uses the maces out of protest haha.

    Swords in redguard style look like katanas! When I crafted weapons at low levels my 2H sword would always be redguard because it looks like a katana. Just check it out yourself when you have a chance.

    You must mix up redguard with something else, the redguard swords looks more like pirate sabers.

    The Akaviri(Blade's weapons and armor) Should have been styled after Japanese.

    The Katana and Dai-Katana were always a KATANA and Dai-Katana in Elder Scrolls Games(Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim) not a sword.. they really need to fix the model...

    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    A true gamer will think of all the possible outcomes and execute the one that is the hardest to accomplish.

    Presumably, the Soul-Shriven style sword coming with TG looks like a Katana.
