How big is Cloud's sword

[Newmani]

Well, in any fantasy RPG they play fast and loose with actual physics. But based on it's volume and the density of steel that is what it comes to.

As for trying to figure out what it weights logically, I know quite a bit about actual sword mechanics and construction, as well as physics involved in martial arts. There really isn't any way to reconcile what is happening in the game with real life. It's best to just enjoy it for the ridiculous spectacle that it is.

Y-you mean... You're the ultimate blacksmith?! Holy cow!

Eh, I'll take your word for it then. But there's no way in Heaven or Earth that thing's made of steel. Maybe it's some kind of lightweight mythical ore or something of that nature but not even Damascus steel can cut through a foot of concrete like a hot knife through butter. I have no clue what it is but I sure want a sword made of that stuff!
