Unexpected look on the 1h Akaviri sword. Why are you afraid to give us a craftable katana-like motif

What the title says. The akaviri armor is samurai/eastern-like armor, like the old PvP armors. But the craftable swords do not have katana-like look. Any particular reason on that, considering that the old Potentates set had a katana looking sword?

    There has never been Akaviri armor before ESO ...

    Plus, the style has been in the game since launch. It's a bit late to get upset over lack of Katanas.

    are you kidding me, yes it has been, but now we are getting the motif so we can craft it,

    or

    top row is Akaviri, and the Drake of blades in IC wears Akaviri and has Katana's at her hips, that is what I want to craft. Hell, even Ayrenn has a Akaviri katana at her hip and that was there since game launch.

    What is funny is that the old PvP item set of Potentates had a katana. The PvP armor sets are the Akaviri ones. But...the new Akaviri sword looks like a miniature of the 2h PvP sword....not the 1h PvP sword.

    Not cool ZoS.....not cool. I have been waiting for this since April 2014.....

    Back when you did the Fighter's Guild questline, at the end of the quest, there was a choice of weapon you could get. If you chose the sword, you got the Akaviri sword.

    The "new" Akaviri style being released in Orsinium is the same as that, and the sword looked identical to the sword rewarded by the Fighter's Guild quest.

    That said, it is rather lore-breaking that the previous TES games had katanas as the Akaviri sword style, and this one chooses a generic sword. But it was a choice that was apparently made quite a while back (and one that I hope the designers will reconsider and change).

    Well, I can tell you this, since the models are already in-game (Ayrenn has one, and the Drake of Blades has them) and they have been in since launch, I am talking about the Akaviri Katana's (lords sword and potentates sword, etc), the 1-handed swords are a deal breaker for me.

    Been waiting all this time, pining and hoping and they give us a European type bladed sword, when the Katana type Models are already in-game. Durrr...

    "I go forth to meet my death with honor. If you are worthy, take up my blade and do the same."
    ―Bolar's Writ

    "The Blades are the former protectors of the Emperors of Tamriel. In the First Era, however, the Blades were dragon hunters. After the return of Alduin and the beginning of the Dragon Crisis, the Blades took on this role again."

    http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Blades_(Skyrim)

    "The story of the Blades begins with the Akaviri invasion during the First Era. After the Akaviri forces had fought through Skyrim and reached the Pale Pass, they were met by Reman Cyrodiil and his forces. It is said that after hearing the Emperor's voice, the Akaviri forces knelt down and swore fealty to him, whom they called Dragonborn. They later formed the order that is now known as the Blades."

    Akaviri armor/weapons were in Oblivion and Skyrim.

    No. Unless you mean the armor of the Blades, which has some Akaviri influences. However, even then, low level Imperial armor in ESO looks the closest to Skyrim's Blades armor. There has never been outright "Akaviri Armor" in TES before ESO.
    In oblivion there is a quest where you go into a fort that is occupied by akavri skeletons and ghosts. The skeletons all use katanas

    Whoa whoa whoa. What? Why would Akaviri armour NOT have katanas? AKAVIRI ARMOUR HAS ALWAYS HAD KATANAS!

    There has never been Akaviri armor before ESO ...

    Plus, the style has been in the game since launch. It's a bit late to get upset over lack of Katanas.
    Troll.
    Go read some lore, blades armors/weapons ARE Akavir.
