Hrm, could be, definitely looks longer than Winter's rapier, did it evolve over the timeskip? Man, if Myrtenaster was like the Escudo weapons from the old Magic Knight Rayearth manga, which grew in size and power as their weilders did. Though somehow I doubt Weiss' blade is an Escudo weapon, though it's definitely an improvement, maybe she has been practicing behind Herr Schnee's back, hopefully it's explained in the trailer, if not the show proper. Until then...
