Final Fantasy VII is Being Remade Again, This Time in LittleBigPlanet 2

As a seasoned gamer with a lifetime of nostalgia for Final Fantasy VII etched into my gaming DNA, I can hardly contain my excitement over this fan-made remake using LittleBigPlanet 2. With a career spanning three decades and countless game controllers shattered in the heat of battle, I’ve seen it all – but nothing quite compares to the sight of Sackboy traversing Midgar’s industrial metropolis.


If you found one remake of Final Fantasy VII insufficient and yearned for a fresh take, a dedicated fan has reimagined the entire game using the LittleBigPlanet 2 engine. Indeed, if during your journey through the Midgar mission’s memorable opening scenes, you ever thought, “This is fantastic, but it could use more Sackboy,” then I’ve got some exciting news for you!

Under the guidance of its creator, Jamie Colliver, this three-and-a-half-year-long remake brings a fresh take on the classic PlayStation 1 game. It transforms every aspect using Media Molecule’s versatile platformer toolset. Here’s a trailer to give you a glimpse:

As a devoted fan, I’ve found myself immersed in a delightful tribute to Final Fantasy VII: Colliver has crafted an exhaustive 141-video playlist, where I can reexperience the epic saga through enchanting Sackboy interpretations of beloved characters like Cloud, Tifa, Cait Sith, and Vincent Valentine. This captivating project doesn’t stop there; it brings each iconic foe, NPC, and even the musical score to life as well!

However, his efforts don’t stop at that point. In fact, Colliver has initiated a petition aiming to incorporate his project as a mini-game within the third installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake series. You can find more information about this petition here.
