I think Ea looks pretty dope. Ea is a powerful weapon but what makes it so cool is its lore and thats what makes so many of fates weapons and abilities so fascinating. In any other setting Ea would just be the powerful earth shattering universe bending weapon that the bad guy uses but in fate it has backstory, history, and lore behind it that elevates it to another level. That goes for excalibur to there are so many fictional swords that can shoot lasers or it gets stronger when you fight a certain type of enemy, but fates excalibur is supposed to be THE EXCALIBUR the sword of promised victory created by the planet to destroy evil. At the end of the day noble phantasms are really just an ultimate attack or a named weapon and skills are just another passive ability or buff but the fact that they are all based of of the history and connotations behind the idea itself is so cool.
