If you don't like a blade, just don't use them... Theres plenty of highly varied designs so I find it hard to take the criticism that some of the blades aren't appealing to some people as anything more than a minor nitpick.

Can we honestly just stop with this mentality that you can't critique extra content? "Don't criticize the DLC, you don't have to buy it! Don't criticize this game mode, you don't have to play it! Don't criticize  this ultra powerful blade, you don't have to use it!"

It's the lowest, dumbest form of defense you can make and it's really just being wishfully ignorant

But why? By having a lot of content appealing to a lot of different individuals, you can please more people. The way I see blades is similar to how armor worked in the last two games. There was armor that was revealing, armor that was badass, armor that was weird and alien, armor that was casual, armor that was cool. There was enough content for you to be able to tailor the experience to your own personal tastes.

The same applies here. Instead of armors, you are given a ton of different "blades" of different styles. As such, you can say "I don't like that design so I'm not going to use that one". There were people talking about one of the ice skating blades a little while ago and people were saying that they didn't like the design and others were saying that they did. That is exactly the reason the game gives you so much choice.

I think you have to acknowledge the subjectivity of many of these criticisms. Some people like many of the designs that people are complaining about. When I was playing Xenoblade X, I purposely made my characters look as ridiculous as possible. Different people have different tastes...
