A dedicated Final Fantasy and LittleBigPlanet fan recently released their entire “remake” of Final Fantasy 7 as a platformer, playable from start to finish, all in LittleBigPlanet 2—an ambitious project that took the creator 3.5 years to finish. Though the project was finally completed just a few short months ago, it seems the creator has an even bigger ambition with their eyes set on gaining Square Enix’s and Sony’s attention to bring the LittleBigPlanet project as a mini-game into Part 3 of the Final Fantasy Remake trilogy.
“Help me make my dream a reality!” Jamie Colliver, the creator of the LittleBigPlanet FF7 Remake, says on his change.org petition page,” After 3.5 years of dedicated effort and passion, I’ve crafted a full remake version of PS1’s Final Fantasy VII as a platformer, reimagining every aspect from story to characters into an engaging platformer. My dream is to see this included as a Minigame in Part 3 of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy.
I believe Part 3 will benefit from a range of new minigames to keep the world feeling fresh. This project could be an exciting worthwhile addition to the Gold Saucer arcade, or as part of a new Protorelic Quest, or as a playable minigame at Costa Del Sol.”
For those who haven’t seen the project, a trailer of it can be found below, showcasing various memorable scenes from the original Final Fantasy 7, all remade to fit LittleBigPlanet’s platforming gameplay.

Jamie goes on to say how this could fit nicely as a minigame, in the sense that it could not only be fun and a charming way to experience Final Fantasy 7 but also be a way to offer collectible miniatures of characters in Part 3 of the Remake. It’s a big goal, one we hope that Jamie can achieve, though it does question whether Square Enix can even use the LittleBigPlanet IP since they’d have to license it out from Sony. With the rumors that the whole trilogy will eventually come to Xbox at some point, that may not be something Square Enix can do, even if they wanted to, though it would still be a pretty cool thing to see as a minigame, even if they had to adapt it differently.
Jamie currently has a petition that can be signed, which he plans to send to Square Enix once it has reached enough support. So, if you want to help make someone’s dream come true, now is your chance!
