Final Fantasy 7 Remake now ‘fully playable’ with a motion-controlled Buster Sword
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is now “fully playable” using a motion-controlled Buster Sword.
The controller was created bySuper Louis 64, who has previously made videos showing himself playing Elden Ring using a banana as a controller, or using a slice of pizza as a controller in Final Fantasy 14.
As shown in the clip posted to Twitter, the Buster Sword can be used to block, attack and move, all using gestural control. Louis claims that the mod works on both PC and PS5.

In the clip, Louis shows himself playing through an early area of the game. It’s unclear if the sword is equipped with the buttons necessary to give instructions to other members of your party, but this is likely to be revealed in a longer video that Louis plans to post next week.
The sword, which appears to be around 5ft tall, accurately represents the main weapon of Cloud Strife, the iconic protagonist of Final Fantasy 7.
The next part in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy will be titled Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
As confirmed during the Final Fantasy 7 25th anniversary stream earlier this year, Part 2 is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5 next Winter.
According to a statement attributed to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura, the sequel is being designed so that people can enjoy it “whether they know the original game or not.”
