Jamie Colliver set aside free time during the last six months to completely tell the story of Final Fantasy VII done completely with the LittleBigPlanet 2 level creator. Spanning twenty different levels, this rendition takes full advantage of the creator from LBP2, including all conversations, sound tracks, characters, bosses, and enemies. Jamie also created a full battle system with all Limit Breaks, and managed to simulate all five material types by using Creatinators.

The creators YouTube channel has around 6 videos showing over two hours of gameplay - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...eature=mh_lolz

Mock if old. Shame I'm away for a few days or I'd totally be jumping on LBP2 to see if this is live and needless to say if it was I'd play it.

[RoboPlato]

And even in this, there are HD towns.

[TheBioLover]

Wow, that's pretty cool. Will watch some footage.

Well played Sir. Well played!

[disappeared]

That's fucking incredible.

[Teknoman]

Motorcycle chase music was really well done. Chase itself is kinda clunky, but I cant do scrolling areas yet either. Heh this guy has done all this and i'm STILL only on my 3/8 stage.

[Inorigo]

First reply nails it.

[RoboPlato]

The more I see from this the more amazed I am. I know I kind of jumped in with a snarky comment but this guy did an amazing job with the tools he had available.

[disappeared]

He's put this up for people to play, I assume?

[BigTnaples]

LBP is such an amazing game. Bought LBP2 at launch but haven't even opened it yet. Somehow I don't mind waiting, game definitely improves with age. Will be a good day when I pop it in.

[Tagg9]

Begs the question... why?

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

thats pretty ludicrous.

[disappeared]

Begs the question... why?

Why not? The guy was passionate enough about both games and put 2 and 2 together.

[Inorigo]

Don't apologize. That was classic.

Only played LBP 2 recently for the first time. I always thought I wouldn't be really interested since it just was "more" LBP, but I was floored by some of the things MM and the community did in this game. It's really insane what's possible in comparison to LBP.

[Jawmuncher]

Bad ass.
I love seeing just how creative LBP can't get.

[Nibel]

First post wins by default

It just seems to me that "recreating" classics in current creator mode games is a waste of time and energy. I'd rather see something original that actually looks like fun.

No one is going to want to play FFVII in LBP2. It's all a load of text and clunky platforming based on the videos. The novelty of it is cool, sure, but I still don't see the practicality of it all. I thought the same when someone recreated Super Mario in Halo.

Theres tons of that in LBP, both versions.

[Jarmel]

I can play this right?

[Lindbergh]

I like how they handle the plot scenes.

[BrainZEROX]

Sadly, this is pure lawyer bait material...

[watershed]

Damn, he put in more effort than SE.

[whalleywhat]

This guy are sick.

Oh yeah, that's some good music.

[SweetTeddie]

Went into this thinking I'd watch for a minute and close it. Ended up watching a good amount. Some of the music is pretty awesome and the game is pretty faithful considering it's made in LBP2.

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Holy shit. That is fuck awesome. Wish I had a PS3.

EDIT: I want a nice shot of the main cast to use as my Vita lock screen wallpaper.

[soxinthebox]

I was kinda hoping that LBP Vita would play LBP2 stages - does anyone know if that's the case?

[NZNova]

Watching Cloud escape from the reactor makes me think of two things.

• I really should replay Final Fantasy VII
• The platforming in Little Big Planet really sucks

[red731]

Holy crap that is awesome!

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Amazing!

That music.

[whalleywhat]

Yeah, every part of this that involves actually playing LBP2 looks painful. I'm enjoying the videos though.

[spats]

The music is very well done. Pretty close to the original tracks.

[Thrakier]

Uuuh...that's...ugly. :(

[gwiz210]

This is incredible

[StunandStab]

Uuuh...that's...ugly. :(

Yeah... not sure why, but I was expecting something far more impressive. Like, FFVII with sack people, basically

[Zabka]

I think he spelled Continue? wrong on the title screen, unless there's some inside joke I'm missing.

[Canis lupus]

That is some dedication.

[donkey show]

Sadly, this is pure lawyer bait material...

Not really considering there are official FF7 DLC costumes.

Uuuh...that's...ugly. :(

This is incredible

LOL

EDIT: Oh man, just saw the vids. A for effort... '___' Was expecting something else, tbh.

[Metalic]

I am usually against remaking FFVII but I am glad this exists.

This coming from someone with a Kingdom Hearts avatar is hilarious.

Anyway, bookmarked the playlist and will watch whenever I've got the spare time. Looking forward to it.

[jimmythepage]

Cold hearted+first post nails it+et etc
Bravo

Amazing stuff

[21st century cowboy]

So it's not playable then?

[Graphics Horse]

Insert joke about FFXIII linearity.

[wrowa]

So, that's how FFVII would look like retold as a puppet show? I like it.

[lobdale]

Cannot figure out what is happening in these videos.

[GruntosUK]

Well done for having the dedication to pull it off, but it looks bad and looks like it plays bad.

[Man]

I've seen some very impressive LBP2 stuff but this isn't one of them. Plays vaguely on nostalgia and nothing else. Impressive amount of work though.

[Fried Food]

wow the music is his first video got to me more than I thought it would. I need to play FFVII again ;(

[jaxword]

Sometimes I am tempted to create Chrono Break using one of the many, many great engines we have available to us.

Then I realize I have no artistic skill at all. :(

[KittenMaster]

I actually played the first couple of levels of this back when I was still playing LBP2 about a year ago, and the quality was excellent except for the battles being kinda clunky (which it's LBP2, it's impressive just to have functioning RPG battles to begin with).
