The game introduces what appear to be Japanese-style equivalents to the traditional weapon triangle of sword, lance, and axe: the [[wikipedia:Katana|katana]] (刀), a form of single-edged sword, the [[wikipedia:Naginata|naginata]] (薙刀), a type of polearm with a weapon triangle advantage over swords, and the club ({{hover|金棒|kanabō}} [[wikipedia:Kanabō|''kanabō'']]), a truncheon-like weapon. [[Bow (weapon)|Bows]] have also gained a placement in the [[weapon triangle]]; so far, they are known to have a disadvantage to the katana. A mage casting ice magic with what appear to be fans also features in the trailer; it is currently unknown what relation this has to the [[tome]] magic featured in previous games.
