— In-game description
“Why the scholar who crafted this mechanical marvel felt that an already deadly dragon need carry a sword (and a legendary one, at that) remains unclear. When questioned, he simply refused to alter the design and began muttering about “drop rates.”

Additional Information
The "sword (and a legendary one, at that)" and "drop rates" comments are a reference to an infamous notorious monster from Final Fantasy XI and the sword Ridill that is an extremely rare drop. The Island Sanctuary dialogue references Ridill's effect: attacking multiple times. Fafnir would go on to make another appearance in Echoes of Vana'diel.
“The drop rate of Ridill seems to be independent from the rest of the treasure pool, and generally drops about 3 - 4 times over a span of two months, or ~36 - 50 times in a given year per server. Periods between Ridill drops range from month-long droughts to multiple days of successive drops.
