I am not one to usually post stuff in this section, but I might have found something interesting, (in my opinion).
I recently found out that Halberds were created by the Swiss back in the 1200's and were used by foot soldiers. In today's world, they are the choice weapon for the Vatican Swiss Guards, who I would imagine guard important things.
The 1200's were basically the middle of the midieval time period, which was full of castles and knights in armor, etc.
I am relating this information to the Giant Guards in Anor Londo. Based on the design of this area, it looks like it was based off of midieval times. The Giants, like the Vatican Guards, carry halberds, and im guessing guard the Princess, and the castle as a whole.
Did FROM actually do their research and base this area off of midieval history? Also, did FROM adopt the movesets of the halberds from movesets used by foot soldiers back in midieval times?
This is just something to think about, but I find it very interesting. What are your thoughts on the matter?
