Tell me I'm not the only one who hates this form for being so Kirito inspired.
I mean Xth went with an original weapon, it doesn't make sense for him to "upgrade" to one of The World's most vanilla class. You either go for a better original weapon or a unique class.

1st: Stop making everything SAO related. 2nd: We ain't sure this is even Blademaster class yet. 3rd: Xth form is basically hacking your character so you get maxed stats and skills. Sure it's handy when The World system is in jeopardy, but for normal play without AIDA virus? Forget the immunity from system edits provided by the Epitapth, walking with that alone would attract everyone's attention, for good or bad. 4th: It was shown that this form resulted from fusion of all Lost Weapons into Haseo's avatar. That means this simple-looking form has things we couldn't even imagine: for example the sword. In a glance it looks like a normal longsword, but why it's segmented? Also, the center Wave Tattoo. Why does it looks like AIDA pattern? There has been never such Wave Tattoo before.
1) I wouldn't make it SAO related if the black coat design also scream Kirito. And his Xth was already symbolic of him shedding his edgelord personality(black costume) for a heroic one(white), so again, why go back to black(and non-armored one at that)? Frankly I'd prefer him to wear pink over going back to black. Not to mention how much CC had been shown to be willing to take second fiddle to SAO in other promotional materials(having cheap cashgrab collabs with SAO, for example), kinda shows the lack of pride they should have. 2) Last Recode is about saving Ovan. It's about the furthest thing from a normal The World Play. 3) The World character summons/dismisses their weapon on a fly. Having a unique weapon aren't going to attract anyone's attention unless in combat. Not to mention since he already have Xth form, it kinda made the point about trying to be secretive moot. 4) .hack weapon and armor designs have random markings on them all the time, this isn't unique. 5) The sword was shown to be a snake-sword, granted so it's not complete vanilla Blademaster. I just thought following his development of getting more unique weapons(scythe then twin katar guns), having the most bland RPG weapon of all time as your "final form" is, even if not SAO inspired, just completely uninspired as a whole.
honestly he looks like he's ripping off Dante's look from DMC than Kirito As much as i dislike SAO , i'd rather argue that much of SAO ripped off of .hack initially, and this is just taking inspiration from something that's taking inspiration off of you
"I mean Xth went with an original weapon, it doesn't make sense for him to "upgrade" to one of The World's most vanilla class. You either go for a better original weapon or a unique class"
This is totally subjective to taste. Also, 5th Form Haseo is infinitely better looking than fucboi Kirito.
