A devoted enthusiast of Final Fantasy 7 has successfully recreated all 16 swords featured in the original game. These swords encompass every weapon utilized by the protagonist, Cloud, in Final Fantasy 7, with the illustrious Buster Sword being prominently displayed in the accompanying image.

Within the gaming community, Final Fantasy holds a special place as one of the most adored franchises. Bolstered by the recent release of Final Fantasy 16, the franchise has now surpassed a staggering 180 million units sold. Among the numerous beloved games within the series, Final Fantasy 7 reigns supreme in popularity. A significant aspect contributing to its acclaim lies in the distinctive weapons presented throughout the game. Each of the seven playable characters possesses their own unique signature weapon, ranging from Aerith's mystical staff to Cid's assortment of spears and Yuffie's formidable shurikens. Cloud, in particular, wields the massive and iconic Buster Sword, alongside an array of 15 other formidable alternatives.

Final Fantasy 7, known as one of the most beloved games in history, has garnered a dedicated fanbase that has transformed their adoration into various forms of creative expression such as artwork and collectible figures. One such enthusiast, Reddit user Shred-the-Gnarnar, has taken this enthusiasm to a remarkable extent. They have meticulously reproduced all 16 of Cloud's iconic swords from the original version of Final Fantasy 7, with each replica boasting intricate details, including accurate Materia slots.

For those familiar with Final Fantasy 7 Remake, a few of these swords will evoke a sense of recognition. Standing prominently in the center of the image is Cloud's legendary Buster Sword, famed for its sheer size that even extends beyond the frame of the picture. Additionally, Shred-the-Gnarnar has faithfully recreated other notable swords from the remake, such as the Hardedge, Mythril Saber, and even the unconventional Nail Bat, which, despite not being a sword, retains its significance. It's important to note that the Iron Blade and Twin Stinger, exclusive to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, are absent from this collection, as it remains true to the designs of the classic weapons.

The original Final Fantasy 7 became renowned for its massive swords, which were all meticulously crafted to be proportionate by Shred-the-Gnarnar. In the accompanying image, fans familiar with the original FF7 will recognize the elegant Rune Blade, the imposing red Apocalypse sword, the majestic Ragnarok adorned with a golden handle, and the nearly futuristic Ultima weapon. Sadly, Sephiroth's iconic long sword is absent from the image, which would have been a welcomed inclusion.

Final Fantasy 7 can be enjoyed on various platforms, including mobile devices, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS1, PS4, and Xbox One.
