6. Buster Sword Final Fantasy VII
One look at Cloud Strifes almost comically oversized sword in the opening act of Final Fantasy VII and its hard not to assume hes overcompensating; maybe an unwanted side-effect from the Jenova project was that it left its subjects hung like Action Men? Id probably immediately eBay Giant Sword myself. Check out the Buster Sword in its full phallic glory: http://youtu.be/DoQnRHUNmk4 Despite the fact that youll quickly drop the plain grey Buster Sword the moment you pick up a better weapon, it still remains his most recognisable piece of kit, and almost always appears in any depiction of the character a modified version, even snuck its way into the CG feature film Advent Children. Cloud Strife is undoubtedly one of the most iconic video game characters in the history of the medium, whether you like it or not, and by extension that makes his Buster Sword one of the most iconic swords in existence.
