FF7: Midgar Project

Archive: 83 posts

This level has already been published so please go to this thread: FF7: Midgar Mission (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=36454-FF7-Midgar-Mission&p=630612)

A few days ago I made a Zack costume, the character from FInal Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. A Zack fan and I liked it so much that I'm working on another costume level for the Zack costume and a SOLDIER costume in general right now and I have big plans for it! I want to rebuild the opening of Crisis Core and I want to make it very detailed! It will have the helicopter, the train, the station you know from Crisis Core and FF7 and the thing I'm most excited about to make, the Shinra building and parts of Midgar as 3D model in the background!

I show you what I have done since yesterday:

The costume:

The helicopter:

The only way to make a proper air-screw was to use the driellhead and decorations and the green feather because the other decoration were too short or to broad but I think it's looking good when it's spining.

I also almost finished one of the wagons of the train and I think it's one of the most detailed objects I build so far. I will post a picture of that later.

I hope there are some people or even Final Fantasy VII fans which show some interest.		2010-08-23 12:31:00

I think you'll find he also appeared briefly in FF7
Anyway, this looks awesome, can't wait to play it! Crisis Core was an epic game, i'd love to see a recreation of the training room scene with Genesis, Sephiroth and Angeal.		2010-08-23 14:53:00

I know, I found every little secret in FF7 back then.

I don't think it's possible to rebuild the part with Sephiroth, Genesis and Angeal with LBP1. You would need Sackbots and less gravity to rebuild that but it's a good idea! ^.^

However I finished the waggon but I noticed that it's the one from the FF7 opening and not from Crisis Core. :/ I'm not sure if I should use this one or make the other one instead. After all this one looks much better but the other one is longer and it's not accurate without it.

Looking good. I loved FF7, it's still one of my favourite ever games just behind Front Mission 3.

I have a Midgar train and engine set-up ready made if you want it. I tweaked the original by capt_commando with a view to making a FF7 level sometime but have never had time to do it. I've always got more ideas and projects than I have time to do them.		2010-08-24 00:33:00

That looks amazing
Either way, providing you keep the scene the same it'll be amazing.
And in regards to the training room scene, I was thinking of a similar idea if i'm being honest xD It'd probably work with sackbots and cutscene cameras, I might give it a go sometime.		2010-08-24 01:34:00

I noticed that the longer waggons are very similar to the one I made so I saved the small one for other FF7 levels and made the one from the opening. There are rarely any clear pics of the train but I think it's good as it is. Unfortunately I had to delete some details because of the thermo but you don't see it in the video anyway.
I didn't make a pic of it because I'm working on the 3D Shinra building right now which is the most interesting and important thing to me in this level but next time I'll post one.

As I already mentioned the Shinra building will be in the background and completely 3D so it looks realistic. I'm trying to copy every detail and I think it will look great. Of course I made a pic of what I've done so far but you can't see all the details because I took the pic with my cell phone. It's just the upper part of the building and there are none of the big pipes and towers either but I hope you like what you see:
http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5193/1858149.jpg
I still have to change and improve a few things and the rest of the building will take about 4-5 days but I'm sure but in the end it will look awesome!

@Fish94
Thank you! Well if you like that just look at the new pic I'll post now. ^.^

@JayJSE2
Well when the level is out you will see how to make it.

@All
I don't understand why just a few people are interested in it. Since FF7 is one of the best RPG's I'm sure there must be more fans in this forum. Just because this is going to be a costume level doesn't mean that it will suck. Just look at my other costume levels and you'll see.

However I worked on my level all day and the builiding itself is as good as ready. I still have a lot to add though. There is the big ring around the building, the pipes, the houses and then I have too add the falseworks (since this is rom the Crisis Core opening the building is still in the making but before I make it look like a building lot I'll save the it to use it in other levels). Now the towers and all that are just floating in the air and all that but when it's done it's one big constuction (Midgar) and fills the background of my level:
http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/3421/p2242270810.jpg

As I promised I will post a pic of the other waggon aswell. It takes a lot of the thermo but I will just use the thermo glitch on it:

These pics should be interesting for every FF7 fan because I finished the Shinra building! I only need to add a few details on the walls and then I can start with the platforms of Midgar so I can add the small buldings and Mako reactors. Since the bulding won't be really detailed I'm sure there won't be any problems with the thermo. Even if it will get hot I just use the thermo glitch but I really doubt it.
Of course I wont add every part of the town since you will be on one of them so you don't see the things that would be in the foreground. I even already think about making another level with that background that's not just about a costume.

I made several pics where you can see more of the details:
http://img831.imageshack.us/i/p1957300810.jpg/

http://img840.imageshack.us/i/p195501300810.jpg/
http://img685.imageshack.us/i/p1956300810.jpg/

As you can see I used the metal material from the MGS pack because I need a material with a dark gray color since you can't use stickers on objects that far away. I tried to add every single detail from the original and I think you can do it any better then this.		2010-08-30 21:00:00

O_o

That is incredible. I noticed that you can see the bent-up bit of the metal too, if you use this glitch (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=22161-How-to-make-any-material-be-like-a-mirror) then you can make them not all bendy looking. It just removes the texture of any material.

It looks awesome though, I can't wait to see a level		2010-08-30 21:24:00

Looking amazing so far, can't wait till this is done.

Zack has to be one of my favorite characters after Crisis Core. At first I thought it would be Genesis, but his character really wasn't developed all that well unfortunately. 		2010-08-30 21:36:00

@nitewalker11
Thx but unfortunately I can't change anything about the material anymore. It's too far away and to complex to rebuild it or to use the changing function.

@Gilgamesh
Well if you want more of Genesis just wait for the next FF7 game. If you have played Dirge of Cerberus you know why and there will be another one since they want to work on the franchise for 20 years.		2010-08-30 22:12:00

Really Gilgamesh? I'd have thought your favourite character was, well, Gilgamesh! xD
I love Genesis with a passion, he is brilliant. Also, they need to make a Ps3/Xbox 360 remake of FF7. I know they said it'd take years, but I think it'd be worth the wait. They could even use the newest battle system, complete with gorgeous designed limit breaks
On a more related note, this is looking better by the second! Are you close to finishing?		2010-08-31 01:26:00

The remake for the 360? No thx. It was bad enough that they brought FF13 to it.

It will take 1 or 2 months to get it ready. This is only a small part for the background. The rest of the background only is at least ten times the work.		2010-08-31 01:50:00

You didn't like FF13? D: Granted it was way too linear, but I still loved it.2010-08-31 02:22:00

Author:

Posts: 554

I really dislike that game. It's not only that it's linear but the fights are boring, the different locations repeating itself all the time, the fact that you get shops but no money to use them before you're almost at the end, that you can't do anything with the background (an amusement park where you can do nothing but looking at it....really that just ridiculous!) and all that is just lame. They took all the good things from the series away and made it nothing but a game with good graphics and a big name so everyone buys it but the rest is garbage. That's no Final Fantasy anymore! It became a cash cow just like Capcom did with Resident Evil! That's the reason why they don't do the FF7 remake. They can't make it that fast so they can't earn money on it fast enough. It would cost much more time and effort because they have to add all the things they just deleted in FF13 like an open world, an interactive background, no repeating locations and all that. They know that they earn more money when they throw a piece of junk without any love in it on the market than something like that.

However that's not the important thing about my post. I wanted to say that I don't want any Final Fantasy on the stupid 360. They stole enough exclusive titles from the PlayStation because they rarely have their own good exclusives. Big titles like FF, RE and MGS all used to be PlayStation games. I hope the PS3 Slim get second place soon (well everything lookes like it will take over Microsofts place soon) and that useless piece of **** called 360 goes to hell!

Well let's get back to topic. After all this is a thread for my FF7 level.		2010-08-31 11:35:00

Well it's really a pain in the *** to do the plattforms. The shape alone is a problem because you can't give them a round shape. It's even hard to see what you're doing because the only way you can see anything at all is to use the front view.2010-09-01 13:53:00

This seems cool~ FF7 was my fave FF game,
Not much of a Zack fan, he got turn in to swiss cheese xD
i like Sephiroth the best then Cloud after that my reasoning being design mostly *mew

yeah i know, Sephiroth got killed too right? well thats the interesting thing about him....
we never really know for some reason he keeps coming back, weird ghostman x3

oh my Mew... i hope they make this year's level pack a RPG FF pack <3		2010-09-01 16:15:00

I guess they will release the Sephiroth costume (or FF7 costumes) with LBP2. Fans have waited too long for that. I don't understand what got into their ****ing minds to wait that long!! They showed us the Sephiroth costume even before LBP1 was out so what's their **** problem???
Well I hope we get several costumes and I hope that we get the Masamune along with the Sephiroth costume. After all FF7 is about using swords and all that so there would be something missing without that. We already got swords and all that and the Wolverine costume even got metal claws so there should be no problem to give us the FF7 characters weapons.		2010-09-01 16:27:00

Yaa! be lovely for them to make a FF costume pack right a long with a level pack~
and the level pack should come with a sword power up :3

And the Sephiroth outfit did not come out because Sony i guess wanted to much money in the end for it,
i don't really believe that very well... but who knowz,

But sony more or less owns MM now so i say it should not be a problem now. *mew		2010-09-01 16:42:00

The platforms are really complecated to make so I took a break and worked on some FF7 costumes which I want to add to the level (if there is enough space for all of them):

First Zack of course:

The second one is Angeal:

The next one is the costume of the Shinra troops:
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6712/aphoto2c.jpg

I will make 3rd class SOLDIER costume later because I forgot to make it but I got a Sephiroth and Genesis costume. Since it's very difficult to make those costumes I'm not sure if I will add them. I'm just not happy with them:

Sephiroth:

Genesis (it's a long coat but you can't see it on this pic. It just the only one that's really open):

If there is going to be a FF pack or even just a Sephiroth costume, it'll be out when LBP2 is.
Also, I wouldn't say it's particularly fair to say he got turned into Swiss cheese - he had a decent amount of mako poisoning, hadn't moved for 4 years prior and was attacked by thousands of Shinra troops. Plus, it was the last few that actually got him 		2010-09-02 11:21:00

The only limited DLC I used is the wing but you can also use the Thor wing so that's no problem.

About the costumes I'm not happy with I don't think there is a way to make them better. The only other plain coat is the standard one from the story but that won is useless for that costume. I only know how to improve Sephiroth but for Genesis thtere is nothing and I checked all my costumes and stickers several times.		2010-09-02 19:09:00

I worked on the two costumes all day and I could really improve them. I think I can use those costumes for the level:

Genesis:

I also made the SOLDIER 3rd class costume but I couldn't find an appropriate helmet. Then I noticed that 2-3 costumes I don't have got one. I will try to get a PSN card for the matching helmet before I publish it.

SOLDIER 3rd class:

In wonder if I should make two levels out of this. The first one would be the things I planed to get the key for the second level and the second one would be inside the Shinra building. The only problem is that it would take much longer untill both levels are ready and to give you the costumes. :/ It's just that it would fit perfectly to make all the floors of the building from FF7 and to give every floor one tutorial.....I don't know. I will first finish this one and then I will see . If I'm faster then I'm expecting it I'll maybe do it. However I want to hear what you're saying about it.2010-09-03 14:54:00

I still want to know your opinion about my idea to make two levels but that's not the reason why I'm doing a double post. I got my money today so I could buy a new PSN card and could complete the 3rd class SOLDIER costume:
http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/9092/p0004040910.jpg

I also improved all costumes by making the eyes look more realistic with a sticker. Now every costume has eyes like this:

Thanks for the nice comments! I'm sure you will be happy to hear that I almost completed 4 of the platforms! I forgot that I only have to build 4 of them because I can simply copy and flip them. All I have to do is to place different houses on the platforms but that's the easiest part. That means that it won't take as long as I expected and when I'm done with Midgar I only have to do the rest with the 3 standard layers and that's no problem compared to the Midgar model.

A while ago I worked on a proton pack you can simply put up and use it against ghosts. I thought about using that idea in this level with a sowrd instead. Of course it won't be very complex after all you can't really wield the sword a dn you can only run through the enemies while holding it but I'm sure it looks good.

About the second level (two levels just to get the costumes...I guess that's something no one did before) I planed to do it the other way around. The first one is about the background and that level will be about the foreground. You will have a front view on the different floors and you will see more of it by zooming out with cameras. That will make it look more realistic. Of course every floor will be a detailed copy of the original just like Midgar from the first level.
If you have played the Sephiroth level you should have noticed that I added the treasure chest from the game. I will do the same thing in that level to give you the costume stickers. Hmm....maybe I could make the tutorial for every costume as sticker so you can carry it around and just use the sticker on a material in your editor. This way it's easier to make the costume. Hmm. well but first I have to try how good that works.

@Fish94
I guess it would be worth the wait but I have to publish it before LBP2 is out because then we will get the Sephiroth costume and who knows what else we will get from FF7...		2010-09-04 02:39:00

well then i'll just go make some and come back a little later and show you what im talking about. *mew

I know what you ment and I got almost every costume and pack there is. I tried everything but it can't be done better than this. You should first find a way to load the pics completely because the costumes are good as they are and got everything they need to have.

@Fish
Well the sword part would be picking it up and run into the enemies with it.

Ya I could publish the first one before I start making the second one but then it would be a bit pointless because you still can't get the costumes.		2010-09-04 16:24:00

Ok the wig is the only thing I don't have but there are things missing like the second belt on the chest, the emblem thing below the belts and the gloves. I don't understand what the black decorations on the coat should be since it can't be the belts because there are more of them and they should be on the middle.

Edit: I thought about using that coat myself a few days ago and I will just make a better one of both costumes.

Edit 2: Ok, there is one thing I don't understand. Are the white rings on the sleeves stickers or some costume part? It won't let me color it like that and I can't find the right costume.		2010-09-04 21:46:00

Neither of those costumes have 4 belts O.o
The Sackiroth has 3, and the actual Sephiroth has 7.		2010-09-04 23:02:00

Huh? No the real one has more.

Except the wig there is only one thing I didn't use myself and thats the white rings on the sleeves. Is that a sticker or a part of a costume?

sticker, all my costumes use stickers i made my self,
and i mean the real LBP costume that never happened, not the real Sephiroth~ >_>		2010-09-04 23:08:00

Anyways~ besides from whatever number of belts there may be on what,
i could have if i am lucky could have painted some more of the stuff on,
but it was not really needed and i had no more decoration room so something
else would have to go to add whatever, so no matter what its not going to be perfect. *mew		2010-09-04 23:23:00

Maybe not perfect but I already improved the things I mentioned. The costume already has two belts on the chest, something that resembles the emblem and black gloves.

Right now I'm working on a ingame Sephiroth just in case I need one for something. It's too late to work on the Midgar model so I will do that tomorrow.		2010-09-04 23:29:00

Yes, Sephiroth has black gloves. I believe Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo in Advent Children also had black gloves. It's part of the "evil bad guy" outfit lol. 2010-09-04 23:59:00

It's because they're his remnants and wish to follow in his footsteps! I love Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo, they're brilliant, epicly.		2010-09-05 00:10:00

Exactly and it has always been like that in any game and in the movie aswell. Only the LBP costume won't have gloves but that should be no problem.2010-09-05 00:12:00

After you said that i left to look at more pics
and he does have gloves :o Wired why did the LBP one did not and that other pic not have them,
honestly i was thinking before i made my costume he had gloves but the pics i looked up did not have them so
i had guessed i was remembering wrong, Yoho~ should have believed my first idea in my head after all

PS: is it just me? or have the pics i posted above stop working for no reason?		2010-09-05 00:16:00

I made a Youtube account and a video to show you what I have done so far. Midgar is too big to show it on a pic so it has to be videos now: Preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjrGRAIe4X0&feature=player_embedded)

Whoever is interested in my levels please subscribe, rate and comment.		2010-09-05 21:23:00

I'm sure you are happy to hear that I'm about to finish Midgar! I only need to add the houses which takes about an hour for each platform and then I can work on the actual level. I start to get in trouble with the thermometer but I will use the thermo glitch so I can add the rest. The only problem about that is that I noticed a little problem. I added 3 waggons (and it has to be at least 6 waggons and the lok) and that filled more then half the thermo and when I tried to add anything else I couldn't! I guess I have to delete a lot of details on the waggon. Oh and one more thing I noticed is that the plattforms are too small for a level so I will make the whole thing bigger if I can. I hope I can show it to you in a few days.2010-09-07 23:55:00

Yay! But the thermo problem sucks D:2010-09-08 17:05:00

Things are starting to get complecated. I noticed that I can add as much as I want but when one thermo is full you can only add more stuff by using the glitch. That means that I have have to use two levels to build one. The first one is the actual level where I add everything and the other one is where I'm building everything I need. To do that I awayls need to copy several parts to know how big they need to be and all that. Really a pain in the ***! I guess that I was right and it will really take longer. I'm not even sure if I will still use the train because it's just too big and I can't make it drive. It almost goes from one end of the level to the other! Well we will see. I'm already thinking about a sort of illusion I could add so it looks like the train is really going forwart but when I use the train scenario the level will be really short because of it's length! What could I possibly add when you run from one end of the level to the other? It also is a problem that Migar alone takes more then one thermo so I don't even have one full thermo left to build the rest.
Oh and another problem is that the editor is way too small for a realistic scale! The layers between the tower and the standard layers are not enough so I have to make it look lik it's far away and that's not really what you would call easy! Most of the work about this level really is the planning. I even have a book to make sketches so I now what to do in the first place!		2010-09-10 02:08:00

This is coming along really well! I have one quick question though. What wig did you use for your original Sephiroth costume?2010-09-10 02:20:00

@Chrree
What way do you mean the train goes from the start of the level to the end?
do you mean the train is so long it goes from one end to the other?
or do you mean the train don't have enough room to go very far in the level
because of all you have in the level?

if its #2 you right in wanting to go with a illusion,
use the same kind as the Marvel levels did if you know how,

and as for some of the other stuff your having problems with,
it be hard for me to know what to say, unless i was there to help while with you
so good luck, and its for sure the right way to go when it comes to useing illusions
to fake what you want. MM has done a good job doing so in the last level packs :3 *mew		2010-09-10 04:05:00

With original do you mean my first version of the costume?

@fumetsusozo
Ya the train is too long to make it go very far because it almost goes from one end to the other. I guess I will use an illusion though I'm not sure how to do it.		2010-09-10 11:28:00

Hmm im pretty sure i can make the illusion, i've kind of done it before in a old music level i made,
if you like me to show you, you can add me on PSN,

Or i could find a link somewhere that says how to do it, but that will take me a bit,

but its not that hard to do, the train it self won't be moving, only the froor from a emitter will be. *mew		2010-09-10 17:25:00

I thought so but before I can even think about doing that I have to solve several big problems I noticed today. The front platforms are too small so I have to work on them again. It looks way too small and I can't put many houses on them since they become bigger in the front layers. A much bigger problem is that the houses I still have to add take one full thermo! I just can't add that or it will be unplayable because of the slowdown! I have to delete the platforms in the back so i can add more details on the front platforms.
I worked all day on this level and I'm still not close to publishing it! I start to get frustrated and I already think about changing the whole level. I don't know what to do right now but I'm sure it can be done somehow and I will think it over again.		2010-09-10 19:26:00

You don't want to rebuild and publish it as your own idea do you? When I think about it this hair looks better than the new one. maybe I'll change back to that.2010-09-11 00:48:00

Lolz, no. I just need it for one of my costumes I'm making. And yes, I agree that this hair looks better then the newer one.2010-09-11 23:46:00

Ok well it's from the Will Turner costume.

Now it looks like I can finaly complete the level because I made some big changes. I deleted everything you couldn't see that well and I dindn't add any houses except for those at the first few layers. You won't see what's behind it anyway except the Shinra tower with all it's pipes and all that stuff.
The train is a sticker on a simple block with wheels now. It does not look as clear as the real thing but it's as good as impossible to use the actual waggons because the whole train alone would need at least one whole thermo! I think it looks very good though.

I still need a tutorial about how to make the repeating background from the Marvel chase level. I made the train smaller and slower so it can move from on end to the other but to make it look faster I still need that illusion.
About the whole gameplay on the train I wondered if I should make it a survival level where you have to survive against the Wutai troops until you're at the station or to add things that haven't been in the opening like a boss and a riddle. What do you guys think?

There is one thing I need you to help me with. I added some rockets infront of the helicopter to make it look like it's going forward but the problem is that there is no smoke coming out though they are activated until you get very near to them. I put them very near to the helicopter and I tried to use a motion sensore but nothing works. Do you know what i can do to make the smoke come out?

Btw I made a Hojo, Rufus and Vincent costume. If there are people interested in these costume I could add them and other costumes to the second level.		2010-09-12 02:58:00

Wait... what wig do you plan on useing for Sephiroth again? surely the long one
as the Will Turner looks nothing like Sephiroth, The other is not perfect, but its as close as we can get~

Yeah honestly i forgot to look for it in the first place.... Oops :/
But yeah i'll go look now,
You can still add me if you like but i won't be on this week, so im not sure that helps you :i
And i think maybe you can also just look up tutorial moving train background while on LBP, not sure tho~

I think i will use the WIll Turner wig. It does not have the strands of hair on the forhead but the rest looks exactly like the Sephiroth hair.

About the tutorial I couldn't find any tutorial and I searched LBP, Google and Youtube. A friend showed me how it can be done though but in case that there are different ways to do it I would like to know how.

@dragonember

Still looking for the tutorial at the min,

And i should most likely stop talking about the wig as we got different opinions on the matter,
the Will wig is short hair and last i known Sephiroth has long hair and long banes,
but its your costume so whatever you want~

And i guess you don't really want to add me so i'll just look for a tutorial and leave it at that.

But the wig isn't short. It just doesn't look that long from the front but the hairstyle looks more like it.

It's not that I don't want to add you but my list is almost full so I don't just add everyone anymore. I want to keep some spaces free in case I need them for friends or relatives.

Thanks for the link I will read it later. 		2010-09-14 04:15:00

I finaly finished the train! It took me ages to do that but now I that I made simple versions of them I can soon complete my level! Unfortunately I can't use the detailed versions but I thought about making something like a museum to add least show people what whole Midgar would look like. Well that would be something I would do much later though since I already have to work on my two Final Fantasy levels.
Right now I have problems with the rails because the train gets stoped somehow but I managed to solve any problem so far so I'm sure that it will work properly soon.

Soon I will make another preview to show you how it looks. WEll at least I hope that I can do one because I still need someone to record my stuff. But there are several people who offered their help so maybe the video will be on youtube in a few days.		2010-09-16 13:20:00
