Fermata



Fermata (クレッシェンド) is a weapon that can be used by Demyx in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Fermata+.

Design
The headstock of the Fermata is comprised by three white spikes with black edges and flat tips. The neck of the sitar is white at its tip and black toward its base. Its edges are magenta-colored and become gradually thinner toward the base. The Fermata’s body has a hexagonal shape, with large, flat spike adorning five of its corners. The space between the spikes on either side of the sitar’s body is filled in by a small, white section with thin, black edges. The body is predominantly black with magenta edges. It has three white strings that are anchored to the body by a pale, three-pronged, wing-like piece.

Etymology
Musically, a fermata is a marking that means to "hold the note", and a crescendo is a dynamic that means to "get gradually louder".
