Combining Two Worlds: LittleBigPlanet 2 Meets Final Fantasy VII
This morning I discovered quite a neat little article on IGN.com, and I just had to share it with the rest of you. It combines two of my personal favorite games, LittleBigPlanet 2 and the other being one game most gamer’s hold dear to their hearts: Final Fantasy VII.
Jamie Colliver, also recognized as TheJamster1992 on his personal YouTube account, has recreated the Final Fantasy VII world on the popular PS3 game, LittleBigPlanet 2. With this task taking him around six months to complete, he created six separate videos showcasing all his hard work and dedication to the PS1 classic, Final Fantasy VII.
In the videos you’ll witness places and characters that will undoubtedly be familiar to the average FFVII fan. Not only will you see the scenery from the opening where they bombed Sector 7, but you’ll also be taken to places such as Sector 5, where Aeris’s church is located, all the way through ShinRa, Nibelheim, and even the Temple of the Ancients.
To watch all the videos will take over three hours, but three hours that are so very much worth it. I applaud Mr. Colliver, he did an incredible job recreating the world of FFVII in all it’s glory. And to see it done in LBP2, makes it all the more awesome. Watching SackBoy portray Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, and the rest of the gang, brings back a lot of memories shown in a whole new light. I suggest you check out the videos for yourself, take a peak at one below:
And I promise, if you’re as big of a fan as I am of either FFVII or LBP2, or even both of these games, you will hopefully enjoy these videos just as much as I did.

This is quite possibly the coolest fan project I’ve ever seen. I never thought that someone could replicate and actually capture the characters, environments, and music so accurately. I loved the first video. It rekindled all of those warm fuzzy feelings I had when playing FF7 the first time
It was pretty incredible…I wish I had that kind of free time to dedicate myself to do something like that for one of my favorite games ^_^
Man, I don’t know how that guy had the time to do all of this but the finished product was well worth it. Thanks for the find.
Little Big Planet is so cool, the possibilities are endless I swear.
LBP is awesome…Love it on multi-player. But for someone to take it and create FFVII with it and all it’s components, too cool!
I love the idea, it was well put together even down to the script. My only issue with it is that in the end it is still a platformer since it was made with LBP2. One of the best things of FFVII was the entire battle system and materia system. Without those essential pieces it can never truely feel and give complete honor to the game. The story is one of the most epic ever done but that is only a fraction of the game we have all come to love and joy.
