Pre-order Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and you’ll receive Cloud Strife’s Buster Sword from FFVII for use in the game, Square Enix has announced. Not just a cosmetic change, the Buster Sword allows players to level up more quickly and also enables a new finishing animation and a new victory fanfare. Well, we say new, it’s actually the classic fanfare. "We are overjoyed to announce that pre-ordering Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will unlock the most epic Final Fantasy weapon and outfit of all time – Cloud Strife's SOLDIER 1st Class Uniform and Buster Sword," said senior product manager Amritz Lay.
