I don't know about anyone else, but based on the technology, I'd personally be inclined to call it an early industrial type of setting (think around the mid-1800s, where people still used swords alongside firearms and cannons) instead of medieval.

Not to be that person, but that sword seems a little too broad to be a nineteenth century sword. I suppose it could depend here this is taking place, but...that sword is earlier looking.

Eh, idk. Long-swords [which is more or less what it looks like to me] haven't actually changed that much throughout history. Ones I've seen from medieval times aren't actually much different from what a long-sword from the 1800's looked like. The thing that gets me is that long-swords weren't really in much use after the 1600's, so it would still be off chronologically to have someone using one around the industrial time frame.

Yeah, but there are plot reasons for using this type of sword, so necessity could excuse it.

Maybe - but, to me at least, it indicates that it's probably not set in the 1800's. [Personally, my money has always been "Future dystopia" since no time period has actually had jet packs that had any real control and any real distance at the same time.]

Hmm. That is the only point I will argue on, because weapons are developed by necessity. In our world, since there was no need for a specific type of blade to kill huge man-eating monsters, swords in the 1800's had no reason to looks that way. In this universe, they need specifically this type of blade, so they use it. One could argue that regardless of our own history, if we had needed a blade of this specific shape and size in the 1800's it wouldn't have dropped out of use.

I personally don't really care when it's set, it doesn't actually correspond to history, and as people said, is a huge mishmash of stuff.

The swords are plot based though. Everything else resembles the 1800's but their gear they use for fighting was specifically invented to target titans so it's makes sense that those technologies wouldn't follow history.
