Buster Sword Cloud's Weapon V1, Final Fantasy VII Remake Play Arts Kai

A large broadsword that has inherited the hopes of those who fight. — DESCRIPTION

The Buster Sword is Cloud's default weapon in Final Fantasy VII Remake. It starts with two materia slots, and teaches Cloud the Focused Thrust ability, which deals moderate damage but significantly raises enemies' stagger. As an initial weapon, the Buster Sword has mixed, well-rounded stats that improve Cloud both as a mage and a physical attacker, while also improving his durability.

“A Legend Even Before Its Birth,”

The buster sword is Cloud's iconic weapon from the original game, and as such is used as something of a default sword model for the game. The kids in the Sector 5 Slums use smaller wooden swords in the shape of the buster sword, and if Cloud is transformed into a toad, he has a miniature buster sword on his back as part of his model, though the miniature is not usable as a weapon.
