Item from Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix
A massive single-edged broadsword with an iconic broad blade, passed from Angeal to Zack to Cloud. Symbolizes the legacy of honor, dreams, and sacrifice that connects the three SOLDIER warriors across FFVII's saga.
The Buster Sword is Final Fantasy VII's most iconic symbol. Forged for Angeal Hewley's father, who worked himself to death to afford it, the sword was too precious for Angeal to use in combat — he kept it clean and pristine as a symbol of his family's sacrifice. When Angeal fell, he passed it to Zack with the words 'protect your honor, always.' Zack wielded it through Crisis Core until his last stand against Shinra's army, passing it to Cloud with his dying breath. Cloud carries it as his primary weapon, unknowingly carrying Zack's legacy until his true memories resurface.
An enormous single-edged blade nearly as tall as its wielder, with a broad flat surface, two materia slots near the crossguard, and a wrapped leather grip. Its simplicity belies its significance — the blade is both impossibly heavy and impossibly enduring.
