Are you a Final Fantasy 7 fan? Have you played the Final Fantasy 7 remake a little too much, but still want to relive the highs and lows of Square Enix’s popular RPG? Then I have good news for you! A solo developer has recreated much of the remake in Little Big Planet 2.
This project, entirely led by Jamie Colliver, has been a passion project for years. Originally released a decade ago, this fan remake has been completely revamped with the Wutai section of the game, new models, new animations, and more. This should now be the finished version of the Little Big Planet remake, which has taken another 3.5 years of work and is now ready and waiting for you to try out.

The entire process of creating the project has been uploaded to Colliver’s YouTube channel, where you can check it out for yourself. There’s even a nifty 15-minute trailer showcasing many of the key moments in one place. Special thanks go to the recreated FF7 OST, which was made entirely in the Little Big Planet level creator.
The creator is so excited about this project that he started a petition to get it included – somehow – in the third official entry in the FF7 Remake trilogy. While it’s probably a bit ambitious, 81 people have taken the time to sign. I wonder how many signatures it will take for Square Enix to see it? I suppose there’s only one way to find out for sure.
I think that speaks volumes not only to the creative capabilities of the Little Big Planet engine, but also to the community that is still working on the game. We may no longer be in Little Big Planet’s golden era, especially with developer Media Molecule having to deal with layoffs in recent months, but the desire to create in its games is still there.
So kudos to creators like Colliver who are willing to work hard and create something cool. If you have a copy of Little Big Planet 2, check out its FF7 remake!
