FF7 superfan owns all 16 in-game swords in real life

Final Fantasy 7 Fans Go All-In with Real-Life Swords!

Calling all Final Fantasy 7 fanatics! Prepare to be blown away by the dedication of one super fan who has brought the game’s iconic swords to life. That’s right, all 16 of them! These incredible replicas include Cloud’s legendary Buster Sword, which is so massive that it barely fits in the picture. Talk about a labor of love!

When it comes to being adored by gamers, few franchises can hold a candle to Final Fantasy. With the recent release of Final Fantasy 16, the series has now sold over a mind-boggling 180 million units. But out of all the games in the series, it’s safe to say that Final Fantasy 7 takes the crown for popularity. And a big part of that fame comes from the extraordinary weapons wielded by its characters. From Aerith’s mystical staff to Cid’s spears to Yuffie’s shurikens, each playable character boasts their own signature weapon. And of course, Cloud’s weapon of choice is none other than the mighty Buster Sword, accompanied by 15 equally sharp alternatives.

Fast forward to today, and Final Fantasy 7 has become a true gaming phenomenon. The game has inspired fans to create everything from jaw-dropping artworks to super cool action figures. But one Redditor by the name of Shred-the-Gnarnar has taken fan creations to a whole new level. They have painstakingly crafted replicas of all 16 of Cloud’s swords from the original game. And let me tell you, these swords are no ordinary display pieces. They are incredibly detailed, right down to the Materia slots that some of the weapons should have. Talk about attention to detail!

For those of you who have played the mind-blowing Final Fantasy 7 Remake, some of these swords will look quite familiar. Taking center stage in the image is Cloud’s legendary Buster Sword, the unmistakable symbol of his power. It’s so gigantic that it’s literally too big for the frame! But that’s not all. Shred-the-Gnarnar has also recreated other swords featured in the Remake, such as the Hardedge, Mythril Saber, and even the Nail Bat (which, by the way, is definitely not a sword, but hey, it counts!). The Iron Blade and Twin Stinger, exclusive to the Remake, didn’t make the cut this time, as these replicas pay homage to the classic weapons we fell in love with.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the attention to detail in these replicas. Each sword is crafted to scale, faithfully capturing the essence of the original Final Fantasy 7. Among the lineup, you’ll find the elegantly curved Rune Blade, the towering red Apocalypse sword, the radiant Ragnarok with its golden handle, and the futuristic-looking Ultima Weapon. The only sword missing is Sephiroth’s iconic blade, which would have been a fantastic addition. Nonetheless, this collection is a dream come true for any Final Fantasy 7 aficionado.

Final Fantasy 7 is available on mobile devices, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS1, PS4, and Xbox One. So grab your favorite platform, dive into the world of Cloud and his legendary swordsmanship, and prepare to be awestruck!
