    Eh, from what I could see, the Memorial Albums for FFVIII and FFIX weren't particularly interesting and not worth buying. They were just screenshots with descriptions. If they were the extensive scripts of the games like the FFVII International Memorial Album, I would have picked them up, but as...

    Heh, yeah, I know they have longer Japanese names, like FFIV's Settei Shiryou...but I'm lazy and just named them by a generic "what it is" name. Anyways, bed time!

    That's just the tip of the iceberg! The prettiest tip, I'll admit, since Ultimanias are beautiful books, but it's only like, 10% of the whole thing. Next up, my "general FF (but mostly Amano)" art books! Here we have, from left-bottom to right-top: Dawn: Worlds of Final Fantasy (Japanese...

    Oh, I guess I can post this too. It's my initial attempt at taking all my books out of my storage cabinet: http://www.espritduo.com/images/FF_Book_Collection_Messy.jpg It's just big ol' pile there, but it's my collection at a glance. I'll be adding my game and soundtrack collection (both...

    Hey-o! Hawkeye mentioned this thread, so I thought I'd share my stuff. This is the first time I've ever really gathered it up and organized it, so it should be an interesting adventure and walk down memory lane. I can't do it all in one picture, so I'll do it in thematic chunks as best I can...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    Yeah, seeing all this new art suddenly come to light in the 25th Anni Ulti makes me confident that there are still tons more they are keeping for some other occasion. For whatever reason, Square has always been pretty free with Amano's stuff, but really stingy with Nomura's stuff. They really...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    Here's the scan of that page with Ruby Weapon: http://www.espritduo.com/images/Weapon%20Concept%20Page.jpg And a funny thing I noticed in the FFVII stuff is that Barret was referred to as "Blow" in his early concept art before he was given a name.

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    I don't think the image says anything about it. I'll upload it once my hosting site's control panel decides to feel like working. But, the "two new weapons" he would be referring to are most likely Emerald (which did not exist) and Diamond (which existed in the story, but was not an actual...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    The concept art for Ruby Weapon had already been drawn by Nomura for the original game. It was just never put in until the Int release. http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/1/10/Ruby_WEAPON_Artwork.jpg Also, I'm done with all the new art from the first book...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    I've got the third book. I'm just about done scanning all the new art from the first book (just got a couple FFVI concept arts to scan), and I'll be moving onto the second book next. It'll take me less time to scan it than the first because there's only three games covered and not quite as...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    Ah, thanks Claudia Wolf! That's some fascinating stuff. Personally, I would have loved to see the petrified characters looking like peeing statues. Ah well. I scanned the page with the NORG artwork, too. http://www.espritduo.com/images/ff8_npcs_25th_anni_ulti.jpg

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    I was working through scanning all the FFV stuff, and I have a couple scans I was curious about. There's a page talking about unused prototype characters for FFII that features a moogle (which didn't appear until FFIII!), and I was curious what it said about the moogle (who's name is apparently...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    Okay, I've got five posts, and I've uploaded all the new art found in the 25th Anniversary Ultimanias up to FFIV to the FFwiki. I think the easiest way to show everything I've scanned is to link to my wiki upload history, which has a nice long list of all the images I've uploaded with the most...

    FF 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimanias

    I would imagine the ages on the concept art are simply the intended age of the concept art, and not anything official or related to the final version of the game. You know, for comparison sake and to help the graphics team get the right "look" in-game. Kinda how a lot of the concept art has...
