I don't think anyone posted about this before, so I just thought I'd share this information to some hardcore FF fans.

Some of you may know and some may not, since this news is pretty old.

In December 2002, Squaresoft released a rare and limited edition box set of all of Yoshitaka Amano's drawings/sketches he did for the FF series (Amano-sensei is a popular mangaka/artist in Japan known for his works like the FF series, Vampire Hunter D, "The Sandman" etc.). There are three books total: I, II, III and has all his drawings/sketches from FFI all the way to FFX. Also included is a book with interviews, biography, photos of him and his NY apt./studio, promotional ads for the FF games (and some are never-seen before). There's a double-sided flipbook featuring moogles bouncing on one side and a woman disappearing into a "womb" on the other. There's a pencil board (shitajiki) featuring a woman character from FFI (I believe). And finally, there's 2 large postcards of two characters from FFI.

Here's a pic:

This box set is incredibly heavy. 7 kg which is about 15 lbs. There's over 704 pages and the art is gorgeous.

Cost: $300

This is a definite must-buy for die hard fans or major collectors, but the price is steep.
