Owain is a character whose name is Welsh in origin.
The sword Excalibur can be acquired, referencing the legendary blade of King Arthur. In the original Welsh Arthurian tales, this sword was called Caledfwlch, meaning “hard cleft”.
Excalipoor can also be obtained. 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.
