10 Awesome Video Game Weapons You Never Got To Use

10. Buster Sword - Final Fantasy X/Final Fantasy XII

Okay, so we may be cheating a bit on this one, but bear with me.

Known more for its characters than its weapons of choice, Final Fantasy's Buster Sword is one sharp but impractically large customer which has permeated the collective consciousness since its first appearance in Final Fantasy VII. Appearing in toys, collectibles and even a 2014 episode of Adventure Time, few things say final Fantasy like this.

Square Enix clearly listened to the sword's rapturous reception, and placed it on a weapon shop display in Final Fantasy IX, with Zidane even making a reference to original wielder Cloud when examining it, but a quick hack of PS2 debut Final Fantasy X also reveals the sword as a usable weapon within the game code. Although Tidus can equip the weapon through hacking, the tribute to Final Fantasy's thick slab of razor metal is sadly not one fans would enjoy through a conventional play through.

As an added tease, the sword would appear again in Final Fantasy XII, wielded by Elite Mark Gilgamesh alongside the weapons of other protagonists. Enix clearly know how much people love this sword, even if they have a funny way of showing it.
