Well, I emailed Clorith, so we'll see if she gets back to me with bigger scans. ^_^

#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.


That part sound like they are promoting an old romance movie, I also like that they referenced Aerith's pureness -- and once again her 'liking' of Cloud :fangirl:

#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.



Are both of these talking about Aerith's death? Or is she just hurt in one of them? I don't understand why Amano would draw two artwork pieces of Aerith's death.

#078 seems to be about her death... without question there.

And #079 seems to also be about her death. The words about holding "the fallen Aerith" up seem to speak about her falling after being pierced by Sephiroth's sword. Then it speaks of a "final parting" and Cloud's "sadness". So, it does seem to be about her death.

But, you know, it doesn't surprise me that he did two pieces on her death. Aerith's death was the most shocking and emotional part of the original game. It's what players seem to remember most when they think of FFVII, IMO.

I just won this ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/FINAL-FANTASY-ART-MUSE...=item1c146b963f

It seems to be missing Barret and Cait Sith but it was cheap enough. When they arrive I'll get some biggers scans. I'll also keep looking around on ebay for some more.

EDIT
Hey the same guy put up some more:
http://cgi.ebay.com/FINAL-FANTASY-ART-MUSE...=item1c14779e64

Again missing Barret and Cait Sith, but I'm wondering if he has them all and is just selling them slowly.

Hell yeah, that's a lot of money. I can't believe it's even that high of a price.

Well I got mine in the mail the other day. I scanned them but my scanner is a tad shitty. Also I attempted to do some translations but I haven't looked at any Japanese sites in a while so I couldn't really remember stuff and eventually I just got annoyed XD

But here's what I DO have, spoiler tagged because of image heaviness.

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.)

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.)

Tifa closes her mouth tight... She was reunited with Cloud as a member of Avalanche but has doubts about Cloud's transformation from the Nibelheim incident 5 years ago. Her complicated feelings for Cloud exceed that of 'childhood friends' and is what solves and loosens up his internal trauma. That is, she personally took a journey into his past...

"You really, really are..... you... right?"
She asks Cloud when surrounded by Cosmo Candle.

"Cloud... Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're thinking..."
Said to Cloud, when the two are left alone the night before the final battle

A misunderstanding and hatred for his father, Seto. Nanaki understands the human speech and passed the time not knowing the truth. The truth was hidden in Cosmo Canyon. Nanaki is told many things about his proud father's brave story. He is the last of his race and as revered as a protector of the planet. He fought to save the planet and the beloved people of Cosmo Canyon.

"A name with no meaning whatsoever to me."
Said in his first meeting in regards to his given name.

"Aerith used to pat me on the nose sometimes."
Speaking of his memories of Aerith.

Yuffie's starts off with "A decedent of respected Ninjas, one can understand through her pungent taste in garments (loose socks) that she doesn't have any awareness. " Then it talks about her father's power or her family's power or something being an every day occurrence. Then I THINK it's something about he only cares about his daughter's selfishness to restore the town after it was destroyed by the war by using materia. Something like that.[/spoiler]

I never really thought about it, but it does appear that Tifa's lips are pressed together in her artwork. I guess this may be an allusion to how she cannot speak about her feelings to Cloud?
