Minecraft Madness - Midgar Explorer (FINAL FANTASY VII REBUILT IN MINECRAFT!)
678"A floating city... pretty unsettling scenery."
-Cloud Strife
"I know, I contained myself about as well as a hasted cactuar throughout this video, but I am absolutely ecstatic about the release of this map and modpack for Minecraft. Hence, the rather rushed recording demeanor and overall enthusiam. I apologize for offering no apologies.
I recall coming across this mod on Planet Minecraft while it was still very much a work in progress some months ago, and coming away utterly awestruck from the team's early demonstration videos. No mere proof of concept, they had done, even then, what no one had before them; recreated nearly the entirety of Midgar, the largest city an in already expansive game, including content from multiple adjoining titles, all in a single, almost entirely hand-crafted map. The dedication to that artistry is simply mind blowing, and I cannot thank the creators enough for sharing this labor of love with the rest of us, that we might indulge in our own fits of nostalgia along with them.
As a diehard fan of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, I was nigh in tears at the thought of roaming the streets of the city that so captivated my childhood in a free, open, fully three-dimensional environment, unbound by any sense of limitation. The Playstation 1 may be long gone, but one of its most memorable vistas shall now live on in a new medium for a new age, and I can't wait to see what comes of this project from here.
And remember...don't step on the flowers."
