Final Fantasy VII recreated in Minecraft

Midgar, the setting of Final Fantasy VII, has been recreated in Minecraft by the modder, Killerx20.

Kotaku originally reported about the project taking years to complete, according to a post on the Minecraft forums.

"The map is 6642 Minecraft chunks, 1290x1290 blocksin length and wideth and uses the full 0-255 height limit." Killerx20 stated. "As a lot (of people) are probably wondering, yes, more (than) 85% of his build WAS indeed hand placed."

The map will have a lot of locations familiar to fans of the classic RPG, including: Sector 1 Mako Reactor, Sector 1 Station, Sector 8 Town Square, Shinra Headquarters, Crisis Core SOLDIER's floor level 49, All Mako Reactor interiors, Sector 7 slums, Sector 6 slums, and Aeris' house.

Final Fantasy VII is a game that is always rumored amongst fans. When the Playstation 3 was in production, a tech demo that recreated the opening cinematic of the classic title was teased--sparking rumor that a full remake was in the works.

There have been spin offs, but no official remake; Crisis Core was a prequel for the game released on the PSP and Dirge of Cerberus--released on the PlayStation 2-- allowed players to step into Vincent Valentine's shoes.
