The Galantine sword (sometimes spelled “Galatyn”) references the blade that belonged to Gawain, an Arthurian knight said to be based on the mythical Welsh hero Gwalchmei.
In Final Fantasy Dimensions, the Galantine sword can be converted into 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).
