Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core Buster Sword Mod:
-----------------------------------------------------------------


This mod adds a replica of Zack Fair's (Also Cloud and Angeal) Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core on the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) to Skyrim.

The Mesh and Textures were NOT created by me, DoubleBrewski. This awesome Buster Sword was made by a talented modder called DemonZariche and was originally posted in an Oblivion mod. The original mod for Oblivion is available here:

The Buster Sword can be crafted at any forge. You only need to have the Steel Smithing perk, 4 leather strips, 4 gold ingots, and about 20 steel ingots to make one.

Updated: 2-6-2012 - Fixed texture path of Sephiroth's Masamune in Optional download.

Updated: 12-7-2011 - Version 1.3 posted with longer handle for both one and two-handed versions of the Buster Sword.

Name changed in game menu from "Bustersword" to "Buster Sword" by request.

Extra file added with two new Final Fantasy VII swords! Kadaj's double-bladed katana Souba and Sephiroth's Masamune. Both can be crafted at any forge.

Version 1.2 includes optional One-Handed Buster Sword for dual-wielding fun!

Frequently Asked Questions:
----------------------------------------


Q: Will you make any more Final Fantasy stuff? I'd really like the SOLDIER's outfit and. . .

A: No, No, No! Please read the description, credits, and read me first folks: I DID NOT MAKE THIS BUSTER SWORD. It was made by DemonZariche for an Oblivion Mod. I just converted the mesh to work in Skyrim. That's all. I did not make it. Stop asking me to make something. . .

No I don't personally know DemonZariche nor will I ask him to make you something. . .
