Chainswords are cool
Not anime trash though

More horsepower.

It vibrates the blade at high speeds to make the blade fast enough to wedge through a material's molecular structure.

I always figured it was supposed to heat the blade or something.

Y'know, make it easier to cut through metal foes (which Lucian warriors fight quite often, if Niflheim is any indication.)

The big lawnmower engine on the hilt must serve some purpose, since you hear it rev up every time he draws it.

That would do more to debilitate the wielder than the opponent.

increases the edge factor.

Doesn't it suck up elements for crafting spells?

FFXV was trash
Hence all it's terrible designs.
