I scanned my FF Art Collection! Only scanned the back for those that actually had something written behind. Ah and I skipped the boring stuff like vehicles and summon creatures. It's nice that Aerith is always next to Cloud. :cleris: I'll get my friend to translate some of them tomorrow. I saw lots of quotes from Aerith, and about Aerith, on the Cloud cards.

Oh I'm short of some of the special cards. The cards without the silver rims are from FF Art Collection: 2nd Edition. Basically it's the Ehrgeiz artwork for Cloud, Zack, Tifa and something from FFIV. It's nice that "Tranquility" was made into a special card. :cleris:


EDIT: Translations!


Quote:
 
#056  Stealing the Planet from Mother…
Calamity from the skies… Aerith who sells flowers in Midgar saw the commotion and felt uneasy. (something about Avalanche against ShinRa) At the same time, Cloud joins Avalanche in their bombing activities. Aerith meets Cloud and their destinies collide. They start a journey to the Promised Land. A battle that puts the Planet’s future at stake takes place.


#057 The Cetra were born from the Planet, speak with the Planet, and unlock the Planet. And....... then...... The Cetra will return to the Promised Land. A land that promises supreme happiness.

The heroes are nothing but a threat to the Planet. (??) Cloud and company decided to fight Sephiroth in the North Crater. They saw the miracle of the Lifestream. Time passed, and he (Red XIII) rides on for the city that promises wealth and prosperity. The days of fighting alongside people who protected this Planet…


#064 CLOUD STRIFE
Cloud’s misery all began 5 years ago. Cloud who is very stubborn about his own past is involved in this huge battle that saves the Planet. However, dream and reality… Cloud’s journey to retrieve and overcome the barrier he set for himself becomes a journey that saves the Planet.

“But I can't remain trapped in an illusion any more...... I'm going to live my life without pretending.”
(Cloud who decides to pick himself back up.)

“Memories of Aerith, we’ve got to set her free.”
(Before he decides to go for the last battle.)


#065 AERITH GAINSBOROUGH
Going to the Promised Land… The fated meeting with Cloud wavers the fate of Aerith. The Cetra language that Aerith heard from her mother when she was young. A person who nurtures the Planet. As the last of the Ancient race, she takes it as her responsibility to go to the Promised Land that she has not seen. Aerith sees traces of Zack in Cloud and her very pure heart leads her to develop a liking for Cloud.

“Well then, let's see...... How about if I go out with you once?”
(Payment for Cloud.)

“No, Cloud... I'm searching for you...”
(First and last date.)


AMANO CARDS

#073 Drawing of Tifa in monotone has a red colour. Talks about air of beauty. Just describes the painting. No comments after description.

#074 Here is Sephiroth who looks back. He feels tortured by his sorrows. What did he gain from it? This strong thought directs the final result of the story.

#075 Vincent who stands in the middle of a dark room. This is a self-image of Vincent and at the same time draws out the inner heart and self of Vincent. From that very kind look in his eyes, you can see the thought of abstinence from a sin that he does not intend to repay.

#076 Cloud and Red XIII who rest in the wet forest. We can think of it as a primary forest that has a lot of strange mushrooms and insects never touched by people. Special colours show the international view of FFVII and Cloud’s inner heart. Cloud’s sad and cold eyes are very impressionable.

#077 (Not too sure what this card says! XD) Cloud who fights… We see a strong sense of protection in his eyes. He who fights above sacrificing himself… fights to remove sadness… Knife holds his real power…

#078 Aerith who sleeps in Cloud’s hands. Mysterious black birds that flock in the dark room seem to be trying to lure Aerith into death. The black dress that surrounds Aerith’s body gives the strong image of a burial.

#079 Birds, butterflies and unbelievable/mysterious animals are in the midst of protecting Cloud, who tries to hold the fallen Aerith up. His eyes and his hands have the feeling of a final parting. We can feel his gentleness and sadness towards Aerith.

#080 Cloud and Red XIII who run in the darkness. From the strong looks in their eyes as they face front, we can feel their resolution to use their own powers to open the future. The two of them part from the darkness and run to the future, what kind of a tomorrow do they face.

#081 In the narrow corridor of time that is constantly changing, Aerith and Sephiroth who feel the Planet’s fate. From the sad atmosphere and air that the two of them have about them, you can feel the loneliness and sadness of people that carry the fate of the future. The two of them, in order to get to the future that their fate promises, walk towards the Promised Land.

----

#082 Cloud who looks up to the ShinRa Building in the middle of Midgar. In the taken away memories lie the secret that is kept deep inside his heart. When he is betrayed by the huge dream of the past, Cloud feels a strong sense of loss and starts on a journey to find himself again.


#083 Aerith who sends off the flying jet at Junon Airport. Aerith is an Ancient, her fate and bloodline…(not too sure). The Cetra were born from the Planet, speak with the Planet, and unlock the Planet. And then the Cetra will return to the Promised Land. The blood of the Cetra will bring Aerith to the Promised Land in order to obtain the promised future.


#111 The Planet’s largest amusement park is run by Dio. Cloud and company visit this place many times in their battle. They meet Cait Sith here. A promised date that ends in a magical night. In the city of desire that floats above the sands, the light memory of the two people is asleep even now... (??!!)

“I think I must have seen him again, in you...  But you're different. Things are different... No, Cloud... I'm searching for you...”


#116 Sephiroth who holds all the power to change the fate of this Planet. Aerith goes to the City of the Ancients in order to stop Meteor. When the two opposing strong thoughts and meanings clash, a sad parting hits Cloud and company. Aerith who summons Holy on the altar in the water is suddenly attacked by Sephiroth’s long sword. The life that was returned to the Planet cannot return again.

“What about my pain? My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!”


#117 Cloud who buries Aerith in the lake in the Forgotten City as a final parting. The summoning of Holy changed her life in the end. Aerith saves the Planet with the Lifestream. As she is the only survivor of the Ancient race, the strong mission to live the fate pushes Cloud and company along. Above that, it is in order not to lose the thing they must protect.

“The secret is just up here. At least it should be. ...I feel it. It feels like I'm being led by something. Then, I'll be going now. I'll come back when it's all over.”
(In the Sleeping Forest, Aerith who appears in Cloud’s dream.)


#124 Cloud who decides to fight in the North Crater with Jenova and Sephiroth. He feels Sephiroth calling him deep into the Planet. Cloud challenges Sephiroth to a final battle. Sephiroth, who holds powers and skills that are much better than Cloud, is defeated. The gentle light of the Lifestream surrounds Cloud.

“Aerith's memories... Our memories... We came... to tell you... our memories... Come Planet! Show us your answer!”


#125 Sephiroth calls for the battle. In the Planet’s body, Sephiroth who fights and loses to Cloud. He invites Cloud to a final battle that brings him into a world of consciousness and thoughts. The two people’s thoughts that’s totally released starts a final battle that puts at stake all of themselves. Sephiroth, who is attacked by Cloud who uses his entire power, returns to the center of the Planet in a flash of light.

“I am becoming one with the Planet. Mother..... it's almost time.... Soon..... we will become one.”
(In the Temple of the Ancients.)


#126 The answer from the Planet, the Promised Land. Cloud who decides because of the consequences with Sephiroth finds an answer in himself. What kind of answer does the Planet give? Aerith’s prayer, everyone’s prayer, becomes one with Holy and moves Cloud and company out of the North Crater. They see the Lifestream’s light that surrounds the Planet, this is the Planet’s answer.

“......I think I'm beginning to understand. An answer from the Planet... the Promised Land... I think I can meet her... there.”

Nice. It's even got the supporting cast group pic. I've seen most of those before, but I've never been able to track down the solo pics for all of them yet.

Oh well.

Still, this is quite spiffy.

Oh, I finally sat down with my friend and tortured her with translations! Erm she's never played FFVII before, so don't expect this to be 100% correct, but the rough gist should be there. "..." indicates that she's not very sure what's going on, unless the "..." was already present in the original text. Oh and sorry if the sentences are disjointed, the Japanese just can't seem to link their sentences together. That or they're trying to create suspense. Ah and some parts are transliterated. I love the descriptions of the Amano art, they're unbelievably detailed! :wub I especially love the line about the black birds, now I love Amano art even more. Oh, I think you'll need to refer back to the cards because I only wrote the numbers. Hope you guys like this, really took quite some time writing down and typing in. Unfortunately the tab-spaces don't come out on the forum, and indenting is going to take a really long time.

You're welcome! Ah "Tranquility" doesn't have anything written on the back, just like the other special cards. It's just silver tinted, with the artwork enlarged behind. Well we could just make up stuff like, "Cloud and Aerith sitting in the Promised Land..." :lol:

Ah I just realised! MotP further reinforced the idea that Aerith's love for Cloud almost got in the way of her summoning Holy!

"Going to the Promised Land… The fated meeting with Cloud wavers the fate of Aerith. The Cetra language that Aerith heard from her mother when she was young. A person who nurtures the Planet. As the last of the Ancient race, she takes it as her responsibility to go to the Promised Land that she has not seen.
