Excalibur and Excalibur II are weapons that can be obtained in Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
In Arthurian tales, Excalibur is the legendary sword of King Arthur, with its name ultimately deriving from the Welsh Caledfwlch, where caled means ‘hard’ and bwlch is ‘cleft’. It appears in many interpretations of the stories of King Arthur, but it is first mentioned in Welsh mythology, including the earliest surviving Welsh tale, Culhwch and Olwen (Culhwch ac Olwen).
The Excalipoor weapon can also be acquired. Throughout the Final Fantasy series, this sword (sometimes going by other similar names) is often portrayed as a weaker or fake version of the superior Excalibur.
