In Metaphor: ReFantazio, “swords” can mean the Seeker/Prince weapon category specifically, or swords in the broader everyday sense. Greatswords and katanas are listed separately, so a complete sword-weapon checklist should include all three categories. The available references do not establish a fully verified, exhaustive inventory; use the examples below as a starting point and confirm names and stats in your game.
Which weapons count as swords?
Weapon references divide equipment into categories associated with archetypes. Swords are associated with Seeker and Prince, greatswords with Warrior, and katanas with Thief. Gamer Guides and Game8 publish separate pages for these three weapon categories. Game8 describes swords as usable by characters in the Seeker lineage, while the GameFAQs equipment reference identifies both Seeker and Prince as sword users. Because those category descriptions do not align exactly, check the in-game category if the distinction matters for a particular weapon or character.
- Swords: the Seeker/Prince grouping in the GameFAQs equipment reference.
- Greatswords: a separate Warrior grouping.
- Katanas: a separate Thief grouping.
For the narrow interpretation of “all swords,” consult the sword category. For all sword-like weapons, include the separate greatsword and katana lists too.
What sword examples do the references give?
The GameFAQs equipment reference lists these Seeker/Prince sword examples. Its figures are equipment attributes, not a ranking or a claim that these are the only swords in the game.

Confirm a weapon’s displayed name, stats, effect, and acquisition condition in your game when exact completeness matters.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.How to compare swords for your build
Do not choose solely by the largest attack number. Compare the weapon’s hit value, passive or special effect, and how and when you can obtain it. The right choice depends on your current progression, archetype, build, and intended use; the inventory references do not test weapons in builds or establish a universal best sword.
