Line 31:

* In the comic ''[[Planetary]]'', the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] have this trope in the form of an [[Alternate Universe]]. It's a featureless plane of floating weapons, but upon closer inspection the floor is made of the bones of the world's former inhabitants. (They killed an entire world just so they'd have somewhere to keep their swords).

* In the Vertigo comic book series ''[[Lucifer (~~Comic Book~~)|Lucifer]]'', the entrance to the home of [[wikipedia:Lilith|Lilith]] is marked by a Rain of Swords, which is symbolic of what she perceives as her struggle against the God who exiled her from the Garden of Eden and his Angels who exploited and waged war on her children.

* Tangentially related, a trap in ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (original and remake). One of the puzzles, concerning the Sword of Damocles, has Lara making her way through a room where any step could bring a deadly sword down on her head.

* In ''[[Ninja Gaiden]] II's'' trailer, Ryu Hayabusa is found holding both one of the Falcon's Talons claw weapons and the [[Sinister Scythe|Eclipse Scythe]] while walking through a field of blades. You actually get to fight in this field of blades, though no serious battles occur. {{spoiler|After killing Genshin, the rival ninja gives Ryu his cursed sword: The Blade of the Archfiend. After the credits roll, Ryu is seen praying for Genshin's soul in front of this very blade, stuck into the ground alongside the other blades. He then turns and leaves it there, a memorial for his defeated rival.}}

Line 73:

* In ''[[Ninja Blade]]'', the final boss-fight takes place in a [[Field of Blades]]. However it stays still during the fighting, the swords get thrown around during cutscenes.

* The Blade Drifts of Zopheir from ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]''.

* The Edge of Madness stage invented for ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''. The small stage you fight on is in the middle of a seemingly infinite blasted, war-torn plain filled with swords. Only these swords are easily several ''[[BFS|stories]]'' tall. And the Final Boss has a move where [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever|he gets big enough to wield them]].

* Bonus art for ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' depicts Hakumen standing in one. Probably as a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]''.

* Likewise "Infinite Graves" from ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' is also likely a ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay Night]]'' reference.
