Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthhasrevealed the Buster Sword light sticksfor the concert that can only be acquired with a select tickets from the Square Enix e-STORE. Thereplica of the Buster Swordlooks pretty good as a simple prop, but the blade of the weapon can also light up in 12 individual colors. Some of these colors even alter the pattern of materia that’s incorporated into the base of the weapon. Unfortunately, the light stick hasn’t been announced for concert locations outside of Japan at this time, even though the concert will be held worldwide.
Why a Buster Sword Light Stick?
A light-upweapon fromFinal Fantasymight seem like a cute but confusing choice for some fans. However, the reasoning behind it has to do with Japanese live performance culture. Fans often purchase unique light sticks from venues or bring their own to cheer on the performers, waving their light sticks in the air or even performing complex dance maneuvers while the performers are on-stage. Some live performances feature custom light sticks themed around the performance, so using one ofFF7’s most iconic creations is a pretty fitting choice.
For fans who feel left out with this particular item, there are still plenty of other pieces ofFinal Fantasy 7merchandise available worldwide. The iconic weapon itself has been featured numerous times, even appearing as aBuster Sword alarm clockcomplete with unique materia slots. For fans who are stuck on this particular piece, there’s a good chance that some of these Buster Sword replicas will be resold after the concert, so fans who are still interested and willing to pay a mark-up may be able to find them.
