📋 About This Mod
Everybody's favorite sword from Final Fantasy 7. Based on the remake version. For post-Iceborne. Now supports Great Sword and Long Sword.
No plans to do the other versions (I don't like them).
I used DemonZariche and DoubleBrewski's Oblivion/Skyrim Buster Sword model as a base (completely remapped and retextured), and the handle texture is from Phate3's Dragonslayer again.
日本語の説明はこの下です。
- Fixed outdated EVWP file causing black screen with Stracker's loader. Sorry about that.
- Redid EVWP file to fix weapon clipping through floor/body when sheathed.
- Lightened the texture and resized the sword to be more accurate to the FF7 remake.
- Redid the skeleton and weights.
- Added Long Sword support. Note that I had to make the handle significantly longer.
- Added support to hide the Wyvern Ignition effect.
Notes
:- Included batch files to copy the files to all current weapon folders. Makes it much easier to handle.
- Parts optional is to hide the monster skin/parts that are attached to weapons.
- More screenshots at old link here.
Installation:
1. Unzip the main archive (with folders) into Steam\Steamapps\common\Monster Hunter World\
2. Ensure you have "mod_wp_*" folder (needed for textures) and "Emblem" folder (needed to hide the Emblem)
3. Unzip the optionals of your choosing into the same location (overwrite).
4. Run the batch file "override_all.bat", and if you downloaded the parts optional, "hide_all.bat" inside the parts folder.
5. You can delete weapon folders that you don't need. I don't know which folders are which weapons, but you can experiment by removing folders and checking the results in-game. Note that unlike before Iceborne, it seems that sometimes removing/changing folders does not always update in realtime.
Uninstallation:
If you want to revert to the original, simply delete the mod files in these folders:
NativePC\wp\two\
NativePC\wp\swo\
I would like to emphasize that none of this would've been possible without the hard work of the people listed here.
- Thanks to all modding contributors
- Stracker's loader, to be able to mod EVWPs and other such files.
- Statykz, Silvris and Crimson's EVWP editing template
- Thanks to Vuze for tipping me off on the EVWP problem.
- Model originally made by DemonZariche and DoubleBrew

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 574 endorsements and over 18k downloads.
- Covers two weapon types, so you can use it on both Great Sword and Long Sword builds.
- Faithful to the FF7 Remake design, which is a big plus for fans.
⚠️ Cons
- Only cosmetic – no gameplay changes, so if you want new stats or effects, this isn't it.
- Last updated in March 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
- Potential conflicts with other weapon skin mods that alter the same weapon models.
For Monster Hunter World players who are also Final Fantasy fans and want to wield Cloud's iconic blade in Iceborne. If you're a Great Sword or Long Sword main looking for a stylish reskin, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're after gameplay tweaks or if you prefer original weapon designs.
💡 Beginner Tips
