This isn't about your games. Or your battler. It just might be seen as uncreative to have an almost-cliche BFS, and require more suspension of disbelief. So just keep that in mind. Or not. I'm not the design police.

The only mention of a Zanbato on the Internet that doesn't have to do with Naruto.
I have not seen a Zanbato referenced in any historical literature that I can find about nihonto, only in the fiction.
If they were real, they would be mentioned by name or described, which why I think you think of a different blade such as nodachi or the phonetically similar zhan ma dao.
The historicity of a zanbato would give credence to its practicality.
Just saying.
Also, be that it may, that Cloud is powered by Mako and can lift the Buster Sword, the largeness of it still makes it impractical. Because physics. But FF7 isn't about physics.

"Turning iron ore into iron swords is a hard process, for one must first dig out the rock, and melt it to refine it, then one must pour that metal into a mould, let it cool a bit, and pound on it while it cools even further. Games are no different." - Ahzoh
