Still...I`d like dual-wielding alot more than that rock-summoning greatsword we see in the demo...
And yet its almost as ridiculous. lol
Dual Wielding isn't a paractical fighting style in real life.
Yes, yes it was, Mushashi did it, and explains how, the Nito-Waza school of kendo is centered around it, as is the Niten-Ichi-ryu school, in europe it occured in judicial matches to settle disputes, duels, Mancilino school of late medieval fencing (dual long sword, sometimes long sword and cinquedea) , the Bolognase traditions (tho they tended two wards long sword and dagger)
As a battle filed technique it is questionable, as it would make formations very hard to maintain, and a shield has far more utility, but for skirmishs and duels it is perfectly possible. Schola Gladiatoria has some videos on the subject on youtube as well. For the setting we are working with, a small band of heros rather than a shield wall or pike tertio formations, a more dueling style of combat makes perfect sense.
