Final Fantasy VII Buster Sword Steampunk Replica: Unswingable Sword

Posted on by

In swords that are too heavy to lift news, the folks at Brick Replicas have built this amazing and huge replica Buster Sword. Final Fantasy fans will recognize it as the one from Final Fantasy VII, but with steampunk style.

The sword is 6.5′ tall. It has a cog wheel and a gauge and it even lights up. There is no info on what it weighs, but clearly this thing will put you in the hospital if you tried to swing it at an enemy. It would look great hanging on the wall, though.

Just don’t try to use it in a real fight. Unless of course your enemy has one too. Then it would be the lamest fight in history as you both struggle to lift your swords and resort to throwing stones.

3D Printed Final Fantasy VII Characters: Materia-lized

Posted on by

Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the FF series to have 3D graphics. Those graphics probably look laughable now, but the squished low polygon rendering of the characters make for really adorable figurines. Look! It’s freakin’ Biggs and Wedge! Well, Gaia’s Biggs and Wedge.

The figurines were designed by Joaquin Baldwin and are printed using full color sandstone. All of the main heroes are included along with some of the villains and many of the secondary characters, including Sephiroth, Zack Fair, a Moogle, a Chocobo and the Turks.

Ride on Cid’s airship and head to Shapeways to order the figurines. They cost between $13 to $32 (USD) each. One funny thing about this set is that Joaquin seems to have priced each figure based on the amount of material needed to print it. This means Cait Sith and the Chocobo are the priciest ones, even though Cloud, Sephiroth and many others in the set are more popular than those two. The cheapest of course is Barrett’s kid Marlene.

Final Fantasy VII Finally Gets Remade… In LittleBigPlanet 2

Posted on by

Still waiting for a PS3 port of Final Fantasy VII? Wait some more. Because this is not it. It’s the next best thing though: a remake of the entire game on LittleBigPlanet 2, that includes “all conversations, sound tracks, characters, bosses, and enemies.”

The geeky feat was made by one Jamie Colliver, who spent a total of 6 months making the 20 levels needed to remake the PlayStation classic. Jamie even managed to mimic the materia and limit break system. He didn’t have to mimic the costumes though, thanks to the official Final Fantasy VII costume pack. Below is the first of 6 videos showing Colliver playing through the levels.

Bravo. The rest of the videos are on Jamie’s YouTube page. Someone give him an Elgato Game Capture or something so we can see the levels the way they were meant to be seen. Meanwhile those of you who have LBP 2 can look at and play the levels for yourselves. Just look for Jamie’s PSN ID “BRRPPPPPPPPPPPPP” (that’s 13 P’s).

Final Fantasy VII is the game every other JRPG gets compared to, a true classic, and as such, gets a lot of love and tributes but also jokes poked at it.

Back in the day, in the long distant age of 1997, when Final Fantasy VII came out, voice acting ...
