The project took over three years, but includes every single scene from the original 1997 game.

“It all started with experimenting with the creation tools in LittleBigPlanet 2,” Colliver told Gamespot.

“To me, Final Fantasy VII represents the pinnacle of any form of media.

Colliver’s remake includes all 140,000 dialogue lines featured in the original 1997 game.

I believe it features the strongest set of main characters in any video game.

The polygonal visual style of Final Fantasy complements LBP’s craft-based aesthetic nicely.

Colliver says he spent a similar amount of time each week working on the project during its three-and-a-half-year development.

The project required Colliver to recreate some truly massive levels, despite LittleBigPlanet 2’s technical limitations.

Lots of coffee helped keep me focused.”

I spent hours perfecting the infamous scene in the flames.

But his main goal at the moment is getting the word out about the completion of his project.
