I Noticed some time ago that the Falchion of awakening has an entirely different design compared all other appearances. However, i just noticed that marth from the new super smash brothers uses the old design. Any ideas why either of these are so? Especialy the falchion. Why redesighn it when it had appeared that way in 6 games and you are trying to be nostalgic? Also, i noted that the awakening version of the tyrfing from FE4(the original version of which looks like the pre-awakening falchion) Was redesigned to look like the awakening Falchion. Do you think this lends credence to the theory that the tyrfing was reforged to become the Falchion between FE4 and FE1? (in which case the awakening version is from an alternate universe.)
