Efforts to source original Final Fantasy 7 files

[Prism]

As many of you know, we're in an age where people are finding the source textures for many of the games that innovated the 3D process. Render96 has led the charge in this front, creating a library of their discoveries - starting with Super Mario 64 and eventually branching out to other games. FFVII is one of them! Since it's such a background-focused game, lots of the CGI used is absolutely filled with these reference textures.

For additional background on this, game companies bought license-free asset CDs en masse from companies like Sozaijiten, Alias, and Visual Disc. Because of their common origin, people are able to trace the origins back to the source CDs.

Let's take a look at some of the FFVII finds:

FFVII Backgrounds (some are missing IIRC)

I think of no better place to post this than an FF-obsessed forum. I've been trying to find some, but it's actually surprisingly hard (or maybe my pattern recognition skills need some work ) It would be cool if we could all contribute to this somehow.
