If you've ever thought what Final Fantasy VII needed was to feature adorable burlap people, we'll have the best news you've read all day.
A full version of the beloved RPG has been made via LittleBigPlanet 2, using only the game's (extensive) tool set.
Here's some footage Jamie Colliver has posted to YouTube of his remake, six months in the making and done entirely in his spare time:

To reiterate, the most impressive aspect of this is that everything you see and hear was done with LittleBigPlanet 2's editing and design tools. Even the music was rebuilt from the ground up. It's not just a cosmetic look, either: The tribute reproduces the combat system, all conversations, boss fights, quite literally everything from the entire game is reproduced as accurately as possible.
Our Take: This is one of the most ambitious things we've ever seen in LittleBigPlanet 2. The tools the game gives you are incredibly powerful: Sony has shown them off and even asked game designers to use them to construct games. But the scale and scope here, not to mention the work this must have took, is breathtaking. We hope this stays up, and it highlights the surprising power hiding in a seemingly simple game.
