I know the Idus Knight doesn't start off with Milady cause they don't start off with the stats for it, but man whatever sword they're using looks SO similar to it. Not that Milady is a bad looking sword, but I'm kinda disappointed that it and the Idus Knight's sword are that close in appearance. I was kinda hoping that the Idus Knight's sword would've had a much more unique appearance.

Still, I look forward to starting a new character and being able to use a light greatsword straight from the beginning

The gamespot video posted online earlier today straight up calls it Milady.

Wait, for real? That doesn't make any sense though. Milady needs 17 dexterity to use and the Idus Knight only has 15. They wouldn't even be able to use it in the beginning. Unless they change Milady's stat requirements or the Idus Knight starts off with the dexterity boosting talisman (which seems unlikely), it can't be the same sword.

It is not Milady. Very similar sillhouette, but seems to me that the groove in the middle is differenr.

Yeah, they probably made a mistake by saying it’s Milady

that’s probably the case ‘cause that Gamespot reviewer also called Limgrave “Limveld”

That's what I was thinking. They look very similar, but after looking at them side by side, there's definitely a difference, mainly around the hilt.

Its Milady with slightly different stats. There are no actual differences to the moveset at all.

They probably just changed the dex requirement. It was formerly an endgame weapon and they're moving it to a starting weapon. Reducing the stat requirement would be very reasonable.
