Odin Makes: Cloud's Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII

[@midlifecrisis3115]

After Cloud meets Tifa in the Sector 7 slums and Tifa shows him his little appartment, when he meets his 'neighbor' during the night, I laughed and screamed FINALLY, when Cloud pulls his sword out and gets it caught in the doorway. They finally put a little wink wink in there to show it's ridiculous.

everyone: Cloud's sword people who've heard about Crisis Core: Zack's sword people who've played Crisis Core more then once: Angeal's sword

[@stephenchitty5717]

Cloud left the original on that cliff area near where Zack died in AC which is why he has a different style buster. I'm not sure if he did that as early as FF7 though. It would explain why he would have 3 versions. I always thought after the mako poisoning bit in FF7 when he remembered stuff correctly he put Angeal's>Zack's sword there then got the replacement and then sometime between FF7 and AC he got the fusion sword. I don't get why he had a completely different style of buster at the start of FF7.

You should make the Monado after Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition comes out!

[@Aleotfier]

Yeah! And I don't know if he can get the materials or if he has them, but he can make some lights that would surround around the area where the Monado Art symbols, with each light of each symbol and maybe also have a makeshift switch or something that would prompt the different colors by a press by the finger. Might take a while though.

[@RadiantBeachShulk]

@@Aleotfier It would be so worth it if he did! Or maybe he could make a Monado III with translucent acrylic. That would be dope as heck.

[@darklordofsword]

I've only seen ONE game with giant swords acknowledge how impractical that is for indoor fighting, and that was "Berserk: Gut's Rage" on the dreamcast. The blade has environmental collision, and there is at least one part where you're in a hallway and literally CANNOT use the sword

[@bradp366]

It happens briefly in ff7 remake.

[@OdinMakes]

Does it? GOOD! I have not played, only watched the trailers. Looks like an amazing game. I have always loved the FFVII art.

[@ranwolf7650]

there was a Michelle Yeoh movie that had a similar scene(I don't remember the name at the moment) The villain had a long spear or something and she tricks him into following her into a stables, where there's not enough room to use the spear allowing her to get in close with a pair of short swords.

[@Solais1019]

Early in FF7R, there's a scene where Cloud goes to draw his sword but can't because he's in a doorway and his overhead draw bumps the sword in the door frame. That detail made me rather happy to see.

Thanks!

[@eseph9899]

Your comment on using it indoors being a struggle is actually kinda funny cuz theres a scene in the remake where he freaked out in a doorway and tries to pull it out but bonks it on the top of the steel door frame.

I wonder if there'd be a practical way to fit some magnets inside it without tearing the foam apart so that you could hook it to your back like they do in the games

[@lilylarsen1291]

I've seen one way where there are foam plugs that are a little bigger than the two materia holes and those plugs are attached to a back holster so you can just pop the sword on your back by the holes!

[@HawkWorley]

I am sure you have heard this already 1000 times, but the "C" in CPVC stands for Chlorinated, not Compact. It's what makes it potable, or usable for drinking water. Standard PVC leaches chemicals into water, but CPVC is safe for drinking. Stupid rant, sorry. The sword turned out great!

[@muzaaaaak]

Hawk Worley the C in CPVC means the pipe can handle high temps, 200°F versus PVC is 140°. PVC schedule 40 is potable rated so your reply above isn’t fully accurate.

[@HawkWorley]

CPVC stands for Chlorinated PolyVinyl Chloride.

[@muzaaaaak]

Hawk Worley correct but the “C” in front doesn’t make it potable. The C makes it more flexible because the design capacity is 200°F rated.

[@mooneyes2k478]

All PVC is safe for the transport and use of potable water.

So glad I found this. I want to make one of these for a photoshoot I'm planning. I'm also thinking about heating up the PVC and flattening it between a couple 2x4s rather than using the thinner pipe. Just gotta leave a little at the end where it needs to connect.

Wouldn’t it be a bit more structurally sound if the “box” ran down the whole length of the blade

Yes and no, one big box would not be as solid as thst small box, but with enough forth-to-back direction rungs (think ladder) it would be hella sturdy.

[@zephyrstrife4668]

@@GundamReviver it could possibly add extra weight to the blade, which Odin was obviously trying to avoid. Pros and cons to both ways as I see it. Do you want the blade lighter, or sturdier?

[@kayce851]

@@zephyrstrife4668 I think you're exactly right. The extra weight would put more stress on the weakest point of the internal structure, where the handle junctions with the square.

Make anubis stand from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusader

[@asianpengi680]

So fun fact, the Buster Sword (Original FFVII Canon version with the yellow guard and red handle) might not be as heavy as you think. Both Zack and Angeal were both capable of lifting it in near death states. Sure, they are infused with mako but in a near death state they'd be at least regular human level or lower strength wise. It'd just be a pain to move around due to size, probably why Hojo didn't take it from Zack. Zack seemed to have no trouble lifting it, after gaining the Buster Sword after switching from a SOLDIER-issued longsword. Cloud seemed to only show trouble lifting it because he was finally able to move his body after waking up from a poisoned state, giving him trouble moving.
