Final Fantasy VII Remake

Archive: 202 posts

Like I mentioned several times I will make a FFVII remake and I now published a preview level of it. There you can see some costumes and how the world map and battles will look like. You can find it under the title: Final Fantasy VII Remake Preview
I will use this thread to post the progress of my project, ask for help and so on.

These are some of my FF7 costumes:

That looks promising.

If you do actually go through with this massive project i'd be more than happy to help with donating a few music tracks to the cause.

Nobuo Uematsu is one of my all time favourite video games composers and i'd love a reason to be able to sit down and recreate a few for a worthy series of levels.
I wouldn't want to be tasked with a whole sound track though, just like the boss battle music and the intro music, maybe cosmo canyon (my favourite area music) 		2010-12-12 21:54:00

Doesn't mean that it will only be my level. Ater all it was my idea though and so far I'm doing it alone so there is no reason not to call it my remake right now.

FFVII already has 2 prequels, 1 sequel, a movie and 2 short movies. I think it's time for a remake now. xD
About the voice over I think it's better without it. Amateurs just don't sound good and the only voices I can think of are those from the movies.

@Shadowcrazy
Just ignore such rude comments. Everyone who knows me knows about my skills as a creator so I don't answer to posts like that. And don't worry I had the idea before I had anyone to help me with logic so I won't cancel it just because of that. Actually I already know a lot about LBP2 logic and if others are too lazy/selfish to help me I'll just do it myself. The only problem is that it takes like forever without a team and the guy who wanted to help me already knew how to do all the complex stuff I'll need.

Right now I'm working on some logic for a strategy game just for practice. I thought about publishing it as a demo but I don't think I will. However I just want to say that it works so I'm sure I'll be able to do the FFVII logic.

I'll happily recreate some of the OST for this project but like Asbestos don't want to be tasked with doing it all. Probably won't be too hard to find FF7 tracks in LBP2 anyway as it has such a prolific OST. I've already seen beta levels with FF7 music.

If you do want em then I could do this:

And this:

The latter you will be needing relatively early on I'd say. Depends how much of the game you're recreating, it's a big game after all.		2011-01-15 12:26:00

Seems that I really don't find any people who woul like to work on all the songs. Well then I really have to use single songs from different people. All of them will be mentioned in the credits of course. It would be nice if you could do those two songs for me. Could be that I'll change something about them. I hope that's no problem if that's the case.2011-01-16 11:05:00

I would like to work on all the tracks but I'm already getting involved in too many projects as it is. I might have time to do more, we'll have to see how it goes.

Now that I got all the prizes I'll start with the remake. Because it would be too much for one person I need creators that are able to build accurate copies of the backgrounds and enemies, to make complex logic, to help with the music and so on. In case there there will be people to help me it won't be my remake anymore but a community remake.2011-01-24 19:53:00

Hello, I am Fang, also known as tfvang? *wink wink*

Haha... yeah. I'm going to probably make some Final Fantasy songs throughout the main series games, and I'd probably be able to recreate some FF7 songs...
*takes out paper

To do on LBP2:
-Music making... most battle themes

Yeah, I'll probably pitch in a bit here and provide some music (at least the battle and boss music.)
Forewarning: I work slow. But my work is much better than the beta....

So yeah, music is put on the checklist...		2011-01-27 06:51:00

sorry i can't help out.

I'm already doing battle logic for 2 games now, and helping out a bit w/ a third.
Trust me i would help if i had time but i don't (now)

How's this. I'll invite you to my game's [chp.1 beta] because i think friendly competion is nice. After i'm done w/ the beta, i'll be on to another game's system (it shouldn't take to long) and after that, if you still have't found anyone, i'll help out!!!

The beta is sometime feburary! is that ok?		2011-01-29 01:16:00

Hey

Had a look at that list of jobs and I've started some tests on some. (Not too sure how much time i can devote to the project hence why its just tests atm)

Tests:
Item, Money and EXP from enemies when killed(Including a percentage system e.g. 40% chance for ItemA to drop, 60% Chance for ItemB)
A shop system(Buying system works working on selling, Also working on having the items bought show in the inventory after being bought)
And a very small portion of combat.(and i mean very small XD)

Also the shop menu can be adapted to any of the other menus.

If you want to check the things ive been doing out add me to psn: Monkeyofcode
and when we are both online ill give you a tour.

Keep in mind though while the logic works the look of my props are very simple. I'm more of a mechanics kind of guy over looks.		2011-01-29 18:15:00

I am interested in this project and I believe I may be of some help in the logic area. Most of your jobs on your thread that have to do with logic seem possible and I wouldnt mind attempting them. PSN me if u would like to see some of what I have to offer. I also have my own team that may be willing to assist in this project if it seems like something we want to be a part of.....

I just finished the Shinra tower so I want to show it to you. Though the editor is very complex it still has some limitations so it looks a bit square-cuted.

This project sounds very promising so far. However I'm amazed how noone has brought up the item and equipment system. I doubt a full FF7 remake will fit just one level, so I'm wondering how you will manage to transfer inventories and alike to linked levels?

Kudos to you on that shinra building. From that screenshot it looks amazing - However it looks like it uses more than the 3 layers, how did you manage to build it like that?

Right now I have a lot of sparetime when off work, so I would love to help out with music and logic if you are in need.

Best of luck

Of course the remake will be made of many level links. I don't know how to transfer stats and objects yet and I doubt that it's even possible right now but maybe I can think about something. The building I made by using the 3D layer glitch from LBP1.

Well if you really want to help just check the jobs at our group, tell me what you want to do and show me some examples of your work.		2011-01-30 20:36:00

The only thing that carries over between linked levels atm is your point score. Some kind of master logic board for all levels would be ideal, as it seems close to impossible to create a save system for links. What is your plan if a remake without core game features is possible? It would just break my heart to see such a promising project go haywire because of limitations.2011-01-31 15:55:00

Author:

It would be pretty easy to transfer a large amount of information between levels outside of the score that carries over. We either need to develop technology to read stickers or to easily input a generated code or from the use of different level links.2011-01-31 16:40:00

Maybe we could generate a code from markers which get activated with levels, objects and so on. Would be very complex I guess. If nothing works I guess we have to make it more linear so that only the level needs a sticker.2011-01-31 16:52:00

Author:

I believe the easier method is a generated code, with each row handling a category of items. With 10 items max per category it should give enough possibilities to cover a extensive inventory. The logic isn't to hard, at least as a game programmer it doesn't seem overly complex, it's just more about integration into your inventory system.2011-01-31 17:43:00

Hmm and could you do that?2011-01-31 19:19:00

Author:

Posts: 554

Hmm, in theory yes, the result would be a combination of numbers displayed to the player at the end of the level which would allow them to carry over their inventory...then when entered at the beginning of the next level they would recieve all the items they had before. However not knowing how your inventory logic currently works means that i have no idea how hard it would be to add it on.

Additionally it does have a few problems:

1. The codes are not unique, say for example player A got sword 2, shield 3 and spell 9 their end game code would be 239, now if another player went into the next level and entered 239, they too would receive sword 2, shield 3 and spell 9. Obviously once people learn what item corresponds to which number they can then just enter levels and instantly give themselves those weapons. However, it is possible for say "super mega sword 1" to have more than 1 digit, so instead of the code being 239, it could be 882299, with 88 being sword, 22 being the shield and 99 being the spell they own, this would make it harder for people to learn the system, and give you around 100 more options per catagory. (ofcourse the logic would take more therm than the basic system)

2. Thermo space, the logic involved is basically alot of AND and OR gates, i mean well... ALOT. The size of the system ive got in mind can and will scale to any amount of items you have, however the space it will take up for 100 items, is almost 100 times larger than it would take for 10 items.

3. This is theory, ive not actually got into the game and given it a go, and again, it might not even integrate with the way your inventory system works.


However that said, it really is the most comprehensive way i can think of doing it, sadly with no way of carrying over data to the next level aside from the score it does tend to pose a problem.


Thinking of that actually, the data carried over in the score could be used in a system, providing youve not used the score for anything else you could create a system that would work on the score passed. SO for example, and again this is just in my head, say player A had "small steel sword" and "wooden shield", now the score value for small steel sword could be 10, and 30 for shield, the score passed would equal 40, now the system would take the first 10 and work out the sword, then the 30 and work out the shield, problem is calculating and splitting the score would take some pretty intense mathmatics, as youd have to make the item combinations into numbers that can only be reached through one process, so for example 9, knowing that you can only get a sword at 8, and a shield at 1 would mean they have that sword and that shield, however it does mean no sword at 7 and shield at 2, hmm... its possible... provided you section up numbers into "items" and "sum of item" catagorys...although thats getting complex....		2011-01-31 23:29:00

If U my friend can accually pull that off I'll consider U a God. I have been tossing around in my head (for the last 2 days) about how something like that could be accomplished and your way seems at least viable, but my god would it take a lot of logic (I have over 300 individual wires running in one section of my level and I thought that was a lot lol).

I wish u good luck and I would love to see It working if you can accually do this.		2011-02-01 03:38:00

I know you're thinking about arrays and stuff Fatedheart but when I posted earlier I had something far more simple in mind. Inputting long codes suck. It should be 4 characters tops.

Presumably there will be limited drops and items. If the player picks up all the items that may equate to one character. Different and multiple items could all be reduced to one character, they don't need to be individually specified by long strings of letters. If there are tens of items though this would be difficult, because the author would have to consider all the different possible combinations of items and generate codes for them.

The other thing would be to make something that can read a generated sticker. At the end of each stage there would be a grid, say 10x10, made of neon or holographic material. Each block lights up or remains black depending on whether you picked up an item, a picture is taken of it, then you plonk it down at the start of the next level and something interprets it. I have no idea if this is actually possible or not.		2011-02-01 06:59:00

a bit lazy to read through all the text i missed, but if your talking about code generation for multi-item multi level cross overs, thats childs play.

I did this kind of thing in the beta (mind that was for level to level movement (loading codes) but my point still stands.)
I did take it out, because i found a easyer and more user-friendly way to load levels in a game, but i digress.

Its quite easy it requires the same amount and same statment of logic as a grid mover (which i have also made)

Just a few selectors, "and" switchs, as well as counters and other things like that (anything i missed)

its really quite easy, the hard part is keeping up w/ the thermo and putting all that stuff in each and every level!!!


and no, the and/or amount is mid to semi-large. I've delt w/ larger just today.		2011-02-01 07:08:00

@Code stuff that starts to get frustrating
Well whoever comes up with a good idea or an actual working example please let me know.

@Dudesoft
That shouldn't be a problem. I made some logic for a strategy game in the beta so that's easy.

@All
Is there any skilled designer? I need people to help me building backgrounds. It would take years to do it alone and so far I'm the only one working on that. Those who are willing to help me just have to be accurate.		2011-02-01 20:56:00

I'm afraid that the saving system will be too simplified compared to the complexity of the game, but I'll try to bend my mind around it. Afaik there's no possible solution at making a sticker recognizing system as stated earlier - However, we could create some item unique stickers that would be activated when put in at the start of the level link. Same basic idea as generated code but easier to input. In my head it seems easier to create on a logic board, but then again, I'm no game developer.

@Chree: Could you post some of your current work, I'd like to see if I can assist in any of the props or backgrounds. Else I'll just get started on some of the music.		2011-02-01 22:05:00

oh im aware the codework and overall concept is simple, its more about how its integrated into the inventory system and how many items there actually is. See ive been working along the the lines that there would be around the same levels of items as is in the actual game. Any code based solution here is only worth it should a large amount of items be used.

As far as sticker recognition goes the closest thing to what you mentioned would be the use of pattern recognition

P.s Chrree , i wouldnt mind helping out with some designs, by the look of the few pictures ive seen your using the 3D glitch? ive used it alot in the past for certain levels, however ive nothing really to show right now, but if you want, chuck me something you want made and il give it a go + you can decide if its good enough for me to do more?		2011-02-01 23:53:00

Eh, it's fine. I was just gonna' form a FF10 team, but it occurred to me that it'd be very much impossible to re-create FF10 with the 3-layer cut off. Even if I flipped it, nothing would be right. FF7 is the most reasonable to re-create. I would still like to help. Add me.

anyways I don't think YEARS is correct...but it will take a lot of PSN accounts to make (idea...call each account FINAL FANTASY 7 DISC 1, FINAL FANTASY 7 DISC 2, etc. or shorten it a bit like FFVII DISC 1, FFVII_DISC_1, etc.)		2011-02-13 10:52:00

Sure it will take years. The game took hundrets of people and they worked on it for 3 years and we are just a few people and want to do the same thing. Building Midgar alone already took me 30 hours so far or more without adding the houses for the platforms. I don't even have that much time for working on it so I only have the evenings and weekends.

3 Accounts wouldn't be enough for everything but it's not necessary to use different accounts anyway because you can make backups.

making backups? so you plan on releasing only parts of the game? because backing up doesnt give you more space to put levels in....

and you can't compare LBP level designers to game designers...game designers took yeas because they build everything by the polygon and had to learn the video game language C++

what took them days to make terrain only takes you lke a couple of hours....and sackbot characters take like 5 minutes to make a costume and stick it on a sackbot...and all the "scripts" that would take days for a game designer to make you can do with logic for an hour or 2.....so yeah again comparing squaresoft with LBP creators doesnt make sense.

it's NOT going to take years...especially if you have more people to help since you don't need much....but let's be honest most of the FF7 stuff you can't make playable because it requires a lot of logic or something so you'd end up making cutscenes too....tbh i dont think anybody expects a COMPLETE bit by bit remake...so yeah i dont think it'll take so long		2011-02-13 20:30:00

Good luck with this project. What you've done already looks great. I love FF7 too.

Did you ever see my FF7 character cutouts level ? When I imported my profile to LBP2 I started deleting levels in there before I realised it deletes them from LBP1 too !! DUH! I've still got it on my moon though so I could republish it, probably in LBP2 if evrything still works ok in there. If not I'll put it back in LBP1.

Let me know if you want to see it and I'll get on it..		2011-02-13 21:00:00

If you're talking about the space on my earth that maybe could become a problem but not when it comes to placing stuff on my moon.

When the designers worked on the game they didn't have to learn C++ because they already knew that language and when a game designer works on a game he doesn't have to to everything from scratch. They have an engine and can build stuff using it. That's almost like the editor in LBP2. Placing textures and modeling backgrounds is the same thing as building stuff and making stickers like in the editor.

Building stuff won't be a thing of a few hours and I want everyone who works on the project to make detailed copies of everything from the game with some visual illusions to safe thermo. I'm working on whole Midgar as detailed copy and still have half of the thermo left so working accurate won't become a problem if you know what you're doing.

FF7 is made out of hundrets of backgrounds and working on one of them take weeks so it will take years even if there are more people.

Firstly, C++ wasnt used in FF7 , sorry... but had to throw that in there, the playstation format right from the start uses a customised version of C#, so customised its almost another language. C++ is easy in comparison.

However as mentioned before, it is built within an engine, so in-fact it will take longer to make in LBP as its not the most intuitive engine around, whereas the game engine and toolset used to create the actual game is so much more efficient and easier to use, whereas LBP sacrifices alot of its "ease of use" to be congfiged to the PS controller. Just think how easier and faster if the toolkit was hotkeyed to a keyboard.

Most of FF7's logic, when broken down, can be recreated since at the base of all computational logic is the three basic logic gates AND,OR, and XOR, which we now have easier use of.

Sorry... but just had to point it out, this will deffinatly take a considerable amount of time.		2011-02-22 15:18:00

When I'm buying a new game I want to play it for a few days. I can't play LBP2 24/7 and I think it's more than understandable that I don't spend money on games and then play LBP2 instead. I don't have that much time every day and I don't want to spend all my free time just working on the remake when I just bought a game.

so you kicked someone out because they cared about your project and were mad that you for not doing your part to play new games?

and now you're not in the mood to work on the game and need a break?

I'll give this project a couple of months before it completely crashes and burns....from what I've been reading and how you kick out people for certain reasons I can tell eventually you'll have no one to help and you'll cancel the project...but that's based on the events happening right now so I won't guarantee it...but I still give it a couple of months before it all falls apart....specially you buying new games when they come out and not on LBP2...and "needing" a break....this project is going to take YEARS to finish...I don't expect this to be done ever...just sayin		2011-02-24 20:47:00

NOTE: finished attks, menu, limit, and atb parts of the OS system. I just need to find the HP & MP that are in one of my levels, and i'll be done!
Specialification (ie: MP minimums, Damage mediums, and actually effects) will need to be done after the fact!

This will be the most logic inducing creation that i am aware of in lbp2!

PS: the Thermo that is dignified is the MAX. Most of the things in the system will be deleted. Thus the thermo will be more managable!

And i kinda agree w/ Shadow! You need to chill. And you made a comitment to the team and the community. I'm fine with you playing other games but not dealing w/ the project at all at this point is not an option. You don't see me, thi, fang, or any RPG creators taking a break right. Do the work. I'm doing my end. Are you?

Please open a thread in the group.

@All
I don't have to explain myself to others because I want to play games I bought instead of playing LBP2 all the time. I already worked a lot on Midgar and that is more work than you think. So far I'm the only one who works on backgrounds and stuff so I don't need to listen to such rude comments as long as no one helps me with that. It's impertinent to talk to me like I have to make excuses for something. I don't need people in my list who think that they can talk to me like they have the right to blame me for anything. This is a game and it's about fun. There is more then just LBP in my life and whoever can't accept that does not need to help us but those people don't need to come back when we are making progress. Others already said that they are ok with that and I don't want anyone else to spend every day on LBP either. I always finished stuff I wanted to finish. When the opening is out I'm sure there will be enough people on LBP2 who want to help us so don't anyone think that he could talk to me like that.

@Shadowcrazy
I told him 3 times not to talk to me like that and then I deleted him. He does not know me so he don't has the right to blame me and to treat me like that.		2011-02-25 13:32:00

Look on the bright side, if everyone else working on this took a break, at least I would still be making the music while everyone else rests.

...no seriously. I'm really addicted into LBP2 and if I switch to another game, I end up thinking of LBP2 and come right back.

Sounds really awesome project but I can understand how the creator of this project feels it must take a lot of hard work and I would imagine that a break would be a good idea to have every now and again. Of course not everyone is so understanding of such things but from what I've seen, I've not read the entire thread but it looks like a very hard and complicated thing to do.
I'm quite an FF fan myself and I also tend to take a break from LBP when I get new games too but I always end up going back to LBP it's too addictive but even I need a break every once in a while		2011-02-25 21:24:00

Hmm, see i was in the process of making a mock-up background for you to see before offering to help with the visuals, however ive just read some of the threads in the group forum and well... im sorry but i see why mailbox is so frustrated, chree your communication leaves alot to be desired, you clearly misunderstand or don't quite understand what mailbox is talking about half the time and your reaction to this is to try and talk down to him.. which is no way to keep a group together.

Sorry for posting that here but i cant post in the group forum.
As it is, im going to withdraw any intention of offering to help as i feel, like mailbox, our personalities would clash.		2011-03-03 09:56:00

Wow that's looking really good, someone's definitely good with scenery, I sure hope you do get this project finish because this is sure a level I'm sure I'd enjoying playing on LBP2.

I'm almost done with Midgar. I added stickers for the houses, the japanese numbers on the reactores, cranes, fog, a road, worked on the reactores again to make the stickers look better, added lights and I'm already working on other parts of the opening.

You know, I rolled my eyes when I first saw this thread. I finally read it through just now and I still find it implausible, but I have to admit that your Midgar looks amazing. I hope that when you finish the intro, it drums up support 'cuz I'd be interested in seeing how far this can go.

Honestly, though, I would think it would probably be best to scale back your ambitions a bit. We'll all be playing LBP6 on our PS5's by the time you're finished with the whole game. I don't mean that to be rude--just pragmatic. If I were you, I'd condense the game down to the most memorable parts of the main plot, skipping things like Wall Market, the part with the dolphin jumping and cpr mini-games, and so on. Maybe condense the two reactor bombing missions into a single mission, skipping the part with the bar and such and going straight to the church with Aerith. I would also simplify the inventory/weapons--basically just have everybody stick with their default weapons and only deal with a few items like potions, remedies, ethers and elixers. It wouldn't be a completely faithful remake, but it would be much more managable both during the creation process and when people play it (nobody is going to spend 50 hours playing an lbp remake when they can play the original that works much better).		2011-03-13 20:51:00

Not to mention that you're going to be limited to 20 level slots unless you plan on splitting it over multiple accounts, which I'd advise against. I love this game to death, but Sehven has some good points. We'd all love to play this series, but more importantly, we'd all like to play a series that gets finished. You're working with a much smaller dev team that squaresoft ever did... and that means keeping it within a manageable scope.

Best of luck at any rate, I'm sure you'll find the perfect balance.		2011-03-13 22:30:00

Of course we know that it's (too) much to rebuild for just a few people and we already thought of all the problems you mentioned but we just want to try to get as far as we can. As soon as the opening is out (which will be more like a trailer in which we will ask people to join the team) we will be a much bigger team. Of course we have to use several accounts to publish everything and maybe we'll never finish it because it's really big but it would be a great experience to see how far we will get.2011-03-14 01:08:00

OMG you actualy intend to remake the whole game? I thought you were like going to pick out some memorable parts from FF7 and make like a level, I'd hate to think about how long it would take you to remake the whole thing if that's your main goal. FF7 was such a big game even with how old it was, it still took 3 discs on the PS1. Great enjoyable game yeah but...well see how far you go with the project, looks like you have very high ambition for this, I wish you the best of luck2011-03-14 20:32:00

Yea i thought it was a few memorable parts too like you said in the first post--but man i wish i could help, im more of a battle/system logic guy, so i wouldn't be much of help. It sounds like your gonna need a bunch of top artist to finish something like this--if i find any i'll tell them about your project. FF 7 is a VERY long game, so i may be less stressful to do memorable parts--especially considering how long it took you to make Midgar--which again looks really great.

Its not so much that you cant make the whole game over again--you could, but it just sounds really invigorating. I think it would get an MM pick even with just memorable moments.

Good luck Chree, hopefully your vision comes true 		2011-03-14 22:31:00

they all look great....except barret/cloud

should remove the female eyes for barret and try to get his hair in the game

clouds iconic hair is pretty easy to make in LBP2 especially with the increased deco limit so should try and get his hair too...also maybe deco the sword to look more like a buster sword

also cid highwind has polearms so its easy to make one of those (unless you're changing that when they enter battle mode?)

also there are cool ways to make guns in LBP with decos so id say edit that for vincent using a hammer or sword as a base to add decos

but as right now they all look awesome...those are just ways to improve on what already looks good		2011-03-26 19:08:00

@Both
Thank you

@Shadowcrazy
I tried doing Clouds hair and sword. Though there are more decorations it still looks a bit dumb and unnatural. I'll think about changing something about the sword again but I just don't like how the decorations look as sword. The hair looks a bit more like in the movie this way which is better I think.

Couldn't use hair for Barret because I don't have it. It will take a while to publish more than just the opening so there is still enough time to buy it. The eyes have to be like this because they all have those eyes in the original and it would be unlogical to give him other eyes than everyone else.

Except Cloud and of course Barret I won't give anyone a weapon because they don't need it outside a battle. Therefor I'll delete Vincents gun.		2011-03-26 19:49:00

You shouldn't need to worry about music - Theres and entire remastered soundtrack by Final-Fantim on youtube - its very very good! You should find a playlist on youtube called... actually NVM I'll get the link BRB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8gKCe4Rv9c&playnext=1&list=PLCB637704F96E1EDC

I am poor, but if you actually end up making a significant portion of this game real I will personally send you a laptop and a HD-PVR (At least ?300s worth of kit) myself!

Secondly, I think you should ask Square Enix to allow you the right to turn this into a project where you can accept donations to complete. You and another person could raise ?50,000 to pay you both for one years full-time work on the project (Like a Job paid for by us!) where the deilverable would be say the Midgar portion of the FF game (About 5-10 Hours gameplay) - If you did this you would raise awareness for the Squeenix brand and also give something to the community we would be dying to see! I bought LBP2 for the only reason to see this happen and I really hope you can pull this off.

When you have the intro and first couple of battle scenes completed you would have enough for an example to apply for this community funding on Kickstarter.		2011-03-28 19:25:00

You are really enthusiastic and I would like to that but that is an impossible idea. In LBP2 you can't just use any music but you have to do it yourself by using LBP2 tools. It is possible to record audio but it does not sound very good because it's ment for voice recording only and we couldn't do that anyway because of copyrights. It wouldn't work to get a permission from Square Enix for taking money for a fan project either because Final Fantasy VII is their property and they only would alow you to do so if you buy the rights from Square Enix which is more than any fan could afford. Even if we had the money they wouldn't do that because they want to earn money from your product and a LBP2 fan game wouldn't get them anything.
I hope though that Square Enix sees this project and gets inspired by it to do the remake. Who knows maybe the opening alone impresses them enough to give it a second thought.		2011-03-30 00:09:00

she doesn't like it like that since it's made of teeth and looks unrealistic as compared to other characters hair in the game

also no offense but those eyes look ugly on em, thats why she stuck with those eyes since all characters in ffVII use the same eyes so those sticker eyes would reduce the quality		2011-04-01 18:42:00

Exactly Shadow! I want every character to look natural and those decorations just don't look like hair. Also the eyes I use are better because they look very similar to those from the artworks and real eyes are better than stickers anyway. I also prefer to use the sword as it is because this way it looks more like the buster sword than some decorations that don't look like a blade at all.

Just visit my profil and then the group. There you should be able to join.

When you want to work on something have a look at the to do list I posted in our group. Just take anything you'd like to do (should be something from the beginning since it would be a bit too hasty to do the last battle for example) and build it just the way it looks in the game (so no Advent Children content needed). Backgrounds should all be top down view if possible. Therefor you need some practice with the 3D layer glitch (otherwise it would be impossible).		2011-04-04 16:34:00

Since I can't finish the opening right now without the music from Sully I started working on the world map. I started with the Midgar region of course because that's the start point in the game and because I could use the small Midgar model from the beta. Well I first used that model but it was so inaccurate that I had to change almost everything about it. I added the stickers I used for the big one, it has those platforms on the sides now and it's not as crooked as the beta model was. The map itself ofcourse is very accurate and I tried to rebuild everything without too many details so there is enough space left for other things.

Be mature Ms Chrree.
RAF_ARCH is a marvelous creator, his FF7 level is great fun to play and brings back good memories from the original game. Or at least, that's how I feel.
It is a shame that you feel offended by it rather than inspired.

RAF_ARCH recreated the first bit of FF7 back in LBP1 so I very much doubt he copied your idea of a FF7 remake. Sure havent all fans thought at least at one point in LBP or LBP2 "how cool would it be to remake FF(insert number here)"
I know I have and at times I still want to create bits of my favourite FF's.

Why not use this as an oppurtunity, collab with RAF_ARCH. HeShe already knows their FF7 and the opening, you cannot doubt, is superb.		2011-05-28 03:13:00

It is a copy because the opening has many parts that were build exactly the same way I did and it seems that he even used some of my screenshots as stickers. Two people who used to be in my team (not anymore after what they did) just gave their work to him behind my back thought it was ment for me in the first place (Fang might bringing one excuse after another but Sully even started working on it because I asked him for the music in the first place). He used stuff that was ment for me, people did it behind my back without even telling me and lots of stuff looks exactly like on my screenshots. No way this was no stealing and copying.2011-05-28 03:20:00

Did you inform these two people that they were not allowed share their creations relating to the group (a bit of common sense, yes but still). Also if they did get cut off from the group, you do not have any right to stop them from sharing their creation. It may be meant for you but was it made by you?

Although it is a tad bit rude that they did not inform you that they were planning to give away objects that you already used in your WIP.

There is a chance that these two people did not give away their creations to RAF_ARCH. Again, chances are you are both using the same origin of reference : The original FF7 game. So there is bound to be similarities.		2011-05-28 03:29:00

My point. Tis my property and I have free will to do what I want with it.

I gave only ONE song to him. Nothing else. I wasn't aware of "No sharing" and yes I didn't inform, so partly my fault on my end... (though I was surprised he had it; I didn't realize I gave it till the level.)

But still, me and others LITERALLY saw him build it from scratch. It was an LBP1 classic and I am frustrated she accuses us of copying all her ideas when RAF has done it way back when >:|		2011-05-28 04:08:00

I see where everyones coming from, on one hand fang/whoever did create the music, so he should be able to do what he wants with it. On the other hand i know Chrree has been waiting on the track for about a month, the same music thats apparently in the other FF 7 level that she should have received a while ago, and using her screenshots for stickers is in a way copying. Of course shes gonna feel betrayed when she sees the same music she was waiting for in another level--made by some of the same people. Also, its strange she was the LAST one to know about this other project--shouldnt this colab been recommended by some of her team earlier?

Surely the members should have at least mentioned it to her, knowing shes spent all that time making it(about 2 months plus on an accurate Midgar that looks great). Lets face it, we are human, somewhere deep inside it makes your project feel less special when someone else does the same exact thing you spent months doing in high quality; It will bother you. Even if this is simply the intial shock of Chrree finding out about the other project, you have to at least see where she was coming from.

Whatevers the case, im not here to argue. If we are still doing this thing, I already got the battle system covered.

I said from the very beginning that no one should share stuff that was meant for my project and they got deleted after they already gave it to that guy. Sully even started working on that song in the first place because I asked him for it. Fang just offered his help but still the fact that they didn't tell me anything shows that they wanted to do it behind my back. That's just malicious!

But the really shabby thing about it is to use the music knowingly and to use my screenshots as stickers and copying my ideas for the opening as that RAF guy did. Just compare the way he build the Loveless Avenue and the building with the clock made by the 3D layer glitch infront of it to my screenshots. That's just pathetic and the whole opening doesn't even look well.		2011-05-29 15:17:00

Chree, completely acknowledged.
I understand your situation. Maker noted above about reactions and I can compare now. I would most probably feel a similar way you do now if someone did Indeed create a similiar or superior version of what I was hard at work creating.

Think of Raf's level as competition or even as your standard, if you think it is a weak level then outshine it and crush it. Simple if you have the motivation and skills.
I look forward to the future of this project, I really REALLY absolutely do. Dont complain about other FF7 levels, learn from them.

And to others if you are thinking of using creations that were meant for this specific project, then please just run it by Chrree to avoid messy situations.		2011-05-30 02:36:00

Did you JUST see what when on up there in the other posts? Looking at that, a collaboration would set off a fuse and trigger tons of nuclear explosions...		2011-05-30 18:52:00

It's been like that for a while fang, long before i was kicked.

I give this group (as in the existing members at this time) half a year before chrree kicks them.
She either needs to gain a bit of rationality and chill or this project will be dead before the first chapter (as in the first few miko reactor sequences) are done.		2011-05-31 03:18:00

Hi, everyone
This is my first comment in this blog. Many things have been said and I just want to give my perspective.
1st. I have been working in my ff7 levels since june 2nd 2009.
2nd. In LBP you own what you do or what you buy. You did not make or buy the bombing mission song and I am using it with its makers permission.
3rd. wahtever happened between you and your team has nothing to do with me.
4th. I create LBP levels from scratch and I do it fo fun. Not to copy or hurt anyone.
5th. Before you strated this blog I didnt know you, and it is a shame that we met under this sircunstances or else a colaborations could have been nice.

minor developement: that song you stated that sully made for RAH before making it for you wasn't created by sully nor anyone on your team. I don't remember the song's name, nor do i remember the name of the initial creator. The only outer used object from your group members is fang's bombing mission! That is all, thank you 2011-05-31 04:45:00

Personally, I'm more interested in these stickers made by Chrree that were supposedly used. Since that would imply knowledge of and an intent to do what Chrree had already done months ago, unlike the music.

I haven't played the level myself yet.		2011-05-31 05:02:00

from what i understand, chrree states that this is one of her screne shots and that RAF took it and used it.
I call FULSE on that.
Unless he or someone else took the picture and saved it in one of chrree's levels, there is no way of getting the pic.
According to RAF the loveless avenue was the hardest to create. He did everything (minus the music and character models) from scratch.
The accusasion of the pic is groundless and is pure speculation
OBJECTION!		2011-05-31 06:36:00

I did Fighting not bombing mission....

But ya pay attention to RAF's earlier post here... that's proof he had it in LBP1 (THE YOUTUBE VIDEO).		2011-05-31 21:16:00

Fighting.... you got to be kidding me.
That's what chrree's been worried about XD
wow. I've been using that for months for preplaning (as in creation music and pre music placement music) XD		2011-06-01 00:42:00

@a_mailbox
Post your bull**** somewhere else because you don't have a clue what's going on. Sully was doing bombing mission and he started working on it after I asked him for it, get it "Mr. I know it all"? The screenshots I talked about are the screenshots I posted here. You can simply use the PS3 camera and take a pic of it to use it as stickers. Besides I kicked you because your a big self important ******* (sorry mods but that's just a fact which several people noticed back then). I don't kick people if they don't behave like you do.

@RAF_ARCH
That's weird because your Loveless Avenue was build exact the same way like mine and I posted pics of it ages ago. You also used Sullys Bombing Mission song which he started doing because I asked him for it not you so that's stealing.

@All
I just published my opening. I'll post a video of it soon.		2011-06-01 20:40:00

@Chrree, You should post it in the level showcase too, it gets more views than these forums.

@ Everyone , Probably not a good idea to argue on forums, its something best left for private messaging. It doesnt look good for the creators, even me, simply being a part of this project. Besides that energy is better spent creating something awesome in LBP anyway.

The fact of the matter is: We now have two FF 7 remakes, for better or for worse. The creators can either colab or compete, its really that simple--or at least i want it to be lol.		2011-06-01 22:33:00

I personally want a collab to happen. That's just my two cents. 		2011-06-01 23:32:00

Ok chree, wanna put out the big guns (no pun inteneded XD)

1. Bombing mission was NOT (repeat NOT) created by sully. It was created by a third music creator on thier team (whom has created all songs except fighting)
2. swearing is forbidden from the forums.
3. I feel a lil offended that you called me a self important (insert childish swear). Reported.
4. U MAD?
5. By all accounts RAF doesn't go on hear very often, and considering it is VERY hard to get a good pic from the internet into lbp, i REALLY doubt he actuallystole the pic. That is pure speculation on your part.
6. People have common creation styles. It's easyer to create towards using the 3D glitch then it is away.
7. You deleted me (actually after i said i would quite) due to the fact you were self obsessed and thought you knew logic better then me. Here are some of the things you did to pi ss me off.

7.1: Post the same statement about logic over and over again dispite my statemnet that those specific logic intitlements were impossible in lbp (this involved saving and other logic to that effect)
7.2: Ignore my statements on logic.
7.3: Ignore my invitations to see the battle system/ giving NO direction
7.4: Cursing
7.5: Yell-typing to me just because i had to repeat myself about the previously stated logic statements.
7.6: calling me names
7.7: slander (ongoing)
7.8: Parinoid persona of EVERYONE. (only ticked me off because it was directed to people i thought didn't deserve it, like RAF and Fang for instence)
7.9: God Complex (Your thought that YOU created EVERYTHING and that EVERYTHING Belongs to you (although god complex may not be the right term))
AND MANY MANY MORE THING missy!

I tell you this, You not only did more to me then I could ever do to my worst enemy but I will not stand by and have someone call me self obsorbed.
I did once call myself a logic master
I did once think I could do anything
But I do not work for my self.
We do not do this for self
We do not do this for group
WE DO THIS FOR THE COMMUNITY.

GOOD DAY, YOU NIEVE Poor excuse for a sackperson!		2011-06-02 01:09:00

@ Fang
I do to. I think the game would be developed a lot faster and it would be a prefect replica of FF 7, but only one could dream. Your essentially have two * superstars* having to give up the spotlight; Ultimately, one of them wants to publish it, and that would be the main problem. Additionally, both also have different interpretations of how this game would actually be remade.

For instance, Chrree hated the material Buster Sword suggestion i thought of a few months ago, something like what other guy used just less ackward. As well as she hated the spikes used in clouds head style she seen a while ago ( I also suggested ). And even the battle systems are different; the other guys battle system was more like Crisis Core than it was FF 7.

Same ideas, different visions. If some way they could unite, i am all for it, because something this big takes a big team. A remake of one of the greatest rpgs of all time is no easy task...		2011-06-02 01:26:00

I'd imagine if a collab were to happen it would be RAF's costumes and detailing skills (I mean hey I liked his train...) and Chree's... everything else.

@Mail, thank you for venting my frustration.

And yeah Bombing Mission was made by a guy named Saperoth.		2011-06-02 01:34:00

Agreed
I do think this is going to be a good project. I actually do want to play the whole thing one day.
Good luck guys .

PS: chrree I do think you guys need a few more people, otherwise it may be a dangerously slow dev time. I really don't want that to happen.		2011-06-02 03:05:00

To be honest (LITERALLY non bias here btw)

It was good, but (as per almost every lbp level) I could be better.
The ONLY things I found that your could improve would be:
- lessen the beginnging star part (it's a tad too long)
- add a bit more atmosphere; It felt a bit stail in that respect
- The train needed work (the close up)

But other than that this was quite good. Fix those things up and you'll have a charmer 		2011-06-07 01:09:00

Just to add to that you could of used smoother camara shots when your backing away from the city.
Could of added more Animations. Besides that its pretty good. Wish the Music was good but you have what you can work with.		2011-06-08 08:58:00

I can't add or change anything because I already did everything I could with the thermo.

The cameras can't go smoother when you skip between two different places in the level making it look like one shot. I tried everything. What's wrong with the music? It's as close as it is possible with the LBP2 music sequenzer.		2011-06-08 13:33:00

Are you emitting/ destroying stuff? Works extremely well with cutscene levels. Could be too late to change it now but it's a huge project, I think you'll need to squeeze every last drop out of the thermometer.2011-06-08 15:27:00

I thought it would be good to post some new stuff to get your interest again. It's just the train station but we have more already so don't worry. I hope you like it:
