FF Collections

[Makoeyes987]

That FFVII poster looks like a promotional print used for game and toy stores. It's hard finding those in good condition unless you have a hook up in retail or the company itself. Where'd you find that?

The next dumb rare thing I want to grab is this poster

Spoiler

Whoa. That poster is mine if I find it first haha. Just kidding I'd let you know.

I'm gonna watch my Final Fantasy VII CG collection DVD while drinking out of my Final Fantasy VII Pepsi cup while eating my Final Fantasy VII ramen cup while wearing my Final Fantasy VII T-shirt and everyone will look at me and say "wow. what a cool guy that is."

You know, telling it like that is kinda scary.

That's a picture Max dood put on his twitter I think.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I have a feeling that poster was a gift or freebie he got when he visited Square Enix last year. It's in such pristine condition and it's not even marked with a release date or anything. Looks like an early promotional poster or something the company kept xD

found it

I think he saw it while visiting their offices, so it's probably an old promo item they held on to.

 

[Makoeyes987]

What do you know, I was right

Well, to get your hands on such a poster, you'd have to get to Square-Enix offices itself.

I just wish I knew what context it was made for. That tweet is the only place I've seen that poster crop up anywhere.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I've seen that artwork for old promotional posters for FFVII's release in the 90s, however it had the release date and other normal things you see on game store posters.

So, like I said, it's either specially made for Square and their premises, or it was another earlier variant that simply didn't have anything but the title. They're part of media kits and stuff that's usually never for sale.

Spoiler

Like this KH box display I have was from Gamestop back in 2002 a friend hooked me up with. These things usually get destroyed or trashed once their promotional period ends but sometimes if you ask, they let you keep them.

I wish I could have gotten the Remake stuff but someone in my area beat me to it

 

[Odysseus]

Looks like I gotta go break in to SE's offices then

You going to take the stairs or the elevator?

 

[Makoeyes987]

If I'm gonna break into Square, I'm going for the ultimate grails of all grails.

The 1/1 scale statue of Sephiroth in the mako crystal, and the

Spoiler: 1/4 scale model of Midgar

I'll go straight Carmen Sandiego on that shit.

 

[Makoeyes987]

So Dirge of Cerberus recently got it's 15 year anniversary so I thought I'd share something I was quite happy and excited to find.

Spoiler: A piece of Dirge of Cerberus marketing

This is the Crown Nippon poster advertising the DC soundtrack and it features one of my favorite artworks from the Compilation on it. Got this straight from Japan and it was near pristine. I had to frame this piece of 2006 FF history, and let it serve it's decorative purpose.

 

[Shademp]

That is one mighty fine poster thar, good sir.

 

[Odysseus]

That's awesome, dude! Probably one of the best ffvii posters around. I was always fond of that art too, it's like a little ff7 where's wally. Can you find Hojo, kids?

 

[Makoeyes987]

I really love the portraits of all the relevant cast members of Dirge and how they flow out of Vincent's cape. Nomura's art style is amazing to me here, and the red tinted colors just fit it so perfectly. Really wish there was more illustrative art of the cast but alas

Also, this is the only 2D fully colored artwork for the main FFVII cast post-AC. That's another draw for me.

 

[Odysseus]

Too bad CTB are all stuffed in the bottom.

 

[Makoeyes987]

That's why Cloud looks like he just said, "whatever."

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah it was some cool art. The main image of Vincent on the cerberus skeleton is pretty badass as well.

I always loved the FF7 cast Dirge render, too.

When is this model from? And are there any shots of the Sephiroth in Mako Crystal statue?

 

[Makoeyes987]

That render of the main cast in Dirge of Cerberus is such a Summer action flick poster, I fucking love it.

"THE GANG THAT SAVED THE WORLD GATHERS FOR ONE MORE RIDE... "

Reeve holding his fursona is the best part too.

When is this model from? And are there any shots of the Sephiroth in Mako Crystal statue?

That was from the Square Enix goods store in Shibuya back in 2004 or 2005.

It no longer exists. It ended it's run Nov 25th 2012. So who knows what they did with that statue

 

[Odysseus]

That's why Cloud looks like he just said, "whatever."

Cloud's just here for a paycheck lol, cutscenes only.

I think AC focused on CG renders instead of 2D art because they wanted to highlight what was at the time some pretty impressive technology, every other comp title has Nomura art.

Nice find! It is a cool piece of art, but it always makes me laugh how Shelke appears to be doing her best Sora impression.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Yeah that is truly... An odd pose she's doing. Like she's also trying to do her best magical girl impression xDD

 

[Odysseus]

I'd love to say I bought this to celebrate the DLC, but I actually bought it a few hours BEFORE the announcement. It was pure coincidence.

I'd be curious to know what any of that Japanese says. My educated guess would be "Oh my gawd, I'm so DTF with some materia!"
