Some characters in Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT can wield the sword Excalibur.
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).
Characters that can use a variation of Excalibur in this game include:
Lightning (based on the weapon from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII);
Bartz (in his Arsenal V weapon set, and based on the Sealed Weapon from Final Fantasy V);
Ramza (based on the weapon from Final Fantasy Tactics).
