Bardzo podoba mi sie moment w Wutai, pokazał drugą strone zycia Turków i ich życia "prywatnego". FF VII zmieniła moje zycie, to wspaniala gra i mam nadzieję że wjencej ludzi z mojego kraju ją polubi/zagra.

I was totally shocked when I realized that all my Materia was stolen. I had to chase after Yuffie, of course, then the highest priority, but it was to have to fight an interesting and fun experience all of a sudden without materiality. I found it amusing to find Yuffie ultimately in a rießigen cup since it did not seem very clever hiding place for a ninja.

oh my god I tried I swear
google didn't help that much
what is rießigen? o_O

The expression on Yuffie's face is awesome. I got SO MAD when she did this to me in the game. I totally freaked and really wished I had an alternate save file O_O I was barely a high enough level to handle the monsters on those islands...


:mad2: DITTO! ...And it forced me to use my item magic, but then I was in even bigger trouble when all of those ran out! It was a nightmare! I couldn't stand Yuffie for the next 30 minutes. I didn't even put her in my party for a long time after this incident, haha!

Who else remembers that house FULL of cats in Wutai?!
This - along with things like the Turks catching you in an elevator in Shinra tower, the Midgar mayor, meeting the Turks in the Mythril Mines and the "this guy are sick" moment, to name but a few - were on a backup list that was being typed up in the final weeks as more and more art was coming in. The original list was 180 pieces - by the end of this thread we'll have seen 213.

Very nice angle on the escaping Tiny Bronco, the shadowed characters and motion of the bullets give it a sense of drama and action!

Really liking the graphic style of the scene where the plane touches down in the water, I really like the attitude in each character's silhouette pose and the motion implied by the angle of the plane and the sweeping wave beneath it!

Amazing detail work in the scene with Yuffie, I like the texture on her armor and the glint in her eye, and the limited color palette makes it stand out!

As if the mafia Don Corneo wasn't much of a pervert, he wanted to marry a 16 year-old ninja Yuffie as his bride rather than picking the much mature Elena and making out with the 21 year-old cross-dressing Cloud. When given the choice which one of them is the worst, I don't know which one is! XD By the way, how in the heck did Corneo managed to hostage up these poor girls on a facial mountain? By his "magic touch" maybe? No, wait, don't tell me. I really don't want to know. At least the hostages were saved by Cloud & Company and the Turks. That's all I needed to know in life.

Yuffie se bat en duel contre son père.
J'ai toujours aimé toute l'aventure à Wutai, car pleine de situations cocasses,je trouvais qu'elle permettait en quelque sorte de faire une pause dans l’intrigue principale du jeu.

Yuffie est un de mes personnage préféré, et la découverte de sa ville natale a été un plaisir,tout comme l’ascension de la pagode avec comme seul combattant notre ninja préférée.

Le combat en question est dans mes souvenirs un moment assez difficile car il y a quatre boss à vaincre à la suite en un contre un. Mais bien récompensé par l'obtention de la dernière limite de Yuffie.

Yuffie duels against her father.
I always loved the whole adventure in Wutai, as full of funny situations, I found it somehow allowed to take a break in the main plot of the game.


Yuffie is one of my favorite characters, and the discovery of her hometown was a pleasure, as the ascent of the pagoda with the only fighter our favorite ninja.


The fight in question is in my memory quite a difficult time because there are four bosses to defeat in a row in one against one. But rewarded by the last limit of Yuffie.

I can't keep up with this thread... I also remember the cat house, and how the black one at the end of the hallway upstairs was so pixelated that it looked almost like a creepy shadow monster. :P The cute cat image is appreciated. XD

I was initially so annoyed with Yuffie for stealing my materia that I refused to use her for most of the game afterwards, until I needed her morphing skills. :P Her sidequest and the history of Wutai were very interesting, though, and the pagoda battles got me to enjoy using her more. Her personality and background were an interesting contrast to everyone else's, making her an unlikely but refreshing ally.

Date night anyone? While on my first play through of this game, I never had the luxury to know how to achieve which wonderful lady to take date, but out of some luck I ended up with dear old Aries and I was happy. She tickled my fancy when I first started and I was very happy for the outcome. As I was playing, this particular part of the game always makes me smile. I don't know what it is really, but the connection these two lovable dorks have is something I always look forward to and enjoy playing. Even now as I repeat the game play on my own over and over again, it always leaves me in a happy and cheerful mood. This scene and small chapter of the game is one I can never forget.

Cait Sith! Okay....so, I admit, I actually used Cait Sith in my party a lot! My brother walked in on me playing this game (he'd actually played it and beaten it before I had)---and laughed at me, horrendously, for using Cait Sith. I'm still scarred by this. ;(


With that being said, I adore Aa-achan's art! It's so cute!

Silvian Lilianne - Holly-Ashes (http://holly-ashes.deviantart.com) - Italy

Despite pretty much focing Cloud to take her on a date and dragging him around Gold Saucer, I think Tifa didn't really hope for Cloud to kiss her when the play asked for that. I tried to portray her suprise and pleasure when Cloud actually goes down on his knee and kisses her hand - and I tried to portray Cloud's "oh, well, I might as well do it right" attitude.

pfff black orb that's perfect. I like the overly cheerful colorful banner at the top next to the dark shadows in the actual pic, as well as the graffiti in the gondola. Cloud's grim shoulder hunch is great.

Also Jessica's work of Aerith and Cloud at the play is lovely, I really like the detail you put into the strands of hair and clothing folds, and that you included the blue sky in the stage scenery! That play was so much fun to mess around with, haha.

Also I like the poses in the Cloti one, with Tifa looking a little uncertain. And the Cloud/Yuffie is really cute!

Final Fantasy VII was the game that got me into gaming, for the game play and the story along with it! I loved the little Easter eggs you'd find if you had a certain character on your team at this moment. Like in this section having Aerith here allowed you to find out more on Tseng's relationship with her. This was the part where I realized Tseng wasn't such a bad guy after all.

The villain who rants is a bit of a clichè, but Sephiroth has such presence that you can't get sick of listening to him. He is ominous and fascinating at the same time.

I've always liked the murals on the wall in the last room of the Temple itself, and so have tried to create something in a similar style. The entire area is very atmospheric and the upbeat but slightly creepy music reminded me a lot of some of the weirder dungeons in the older Final Fantasy games. And hey, every ancient temple needs mysteriously active dragons and demon walls, right?

Cait Sith est mon personnage préféré, c’est pourquoi j’ai tout de suite décidé d’illustrer cette scène! Se sacrifier pour ses amis, voilà la véritable définition du héros, et ici Cait Sith se montre plus qu’héroïque ! J’ai était ravie de voir le Cait Sith n°2 arriver, car je n’aurais pas imaginé continuer l’aventure sans lui dans mon équipe.

Eclesis: If there was ever one gesture Sephiroth ever used to crack me up, it was the one that's being portrayed in this image. I used to laugh when Sephiroth would give a monologue about how he would destroy the planet and then throw his hands up in the air like he'd just won the super bowl. He is still a very amusing villain. That's what I really like about this work. Thank you for capturing that! Great job!

Cait Sith is my favorite character, so I immediately decided to illustrate this scene! Sacrifice for his friends, is the true definition of a hero, and here Cait Sith is more heroic!

Aeriths begravning eller död har aldrig kommit som en chock för mig, på grund av att min äldsta bror olyckligtvis för sig själv och mig lyckades avslöja det i förtid. Men trots det betyder inte att det väckte känslor inombords. När jag första gången såg denna scen, upplevde jag inte den som något sorgligt, dels för att jag visste att de skulle ske, men främst för att jag blev gripen av dess skönhet. Den underbara musiken och det klar blåa vattnet och hur långsamt Aerith med sitt långa vackra hår sjunker ner till bottnen, är något som kommer alltid att finnas i mina minnen.

This moment in the game provides both a small introspection of some of our antagonists, particularly the thoughts processes of Hojo, and a grand sense of scale. The vague shapes of the WEAPON's provide a beautiful backdrop that suddenly becomes quite frightening when the eye opens and allows us to make sense of those shapes. Most importantly, this scene gives us a taste of the enemies we'll be going up against... both large and small.

Vanessa Baumann - DrAssenov (http://drassenov.deviantart.com) - United States

I wanted to draw this piece because Zack's parents never received any closure on what happened to their son who was brutally murdered after escaping from Hojo's lab. Seeing someone who must have known him recently probably brought his parents some closure and some happiness. Even though Aeris never verbally answered their questions, her hesitation and emotional reaction must have been enough for them. Aeris struggled with her feelings, trying to look like they didn't bother her when she ran outside and shrugged it off -- saying how Zack could have been talking about any number of girls and not her. This was a rare, vulnerable moment for Aeris in the game when we are so used to seeing her being spunky and mischievous and flirty.

seriously this one particular moment was so deep.. and that is why i felt in love in this game. the little things that matter

This was such a climactic part of the game: You had finally tracked Sephiroth to the Northern Crater, with the shocking events of Aerith's departure still resonating, and after what seems to be the final showdown everything goes wrong; Cloud is revealed to be just another clone, is then controlled into allowing Sephiroth to finally summon meteor, the party has to flee leaving Cloud to fall into the Lifestream, and massive monsters awaken upon Meteors summoning to protect the planet.

Just when you were gearing up for end game, things had suddenly flipped, and you were now faced with a new threat in the form of the WEAPONS: Monsters created by the planet itself, tasked with eliminating the planets threat.... which not only included the Meteor, but also MANKIND itself.... whose abuse of the planet as an energy source had made itself a target.

The first appearance of the WEAPONS was an impressive one: I was overwhelmed by these screen filling monsters (that reminded me of godzilla type creatures) and you definitely got the foreboding that you would be facing these colossal fiends later on in the game...

Antes de ver essa cena,eu já conhecia e gostava Final Fantasy VII,embora eu nunca tivesse tido a chance de jogar o próprio jogo. Eu já havia visto muitos 'detonados/passo a passo',mas nunca tinha entendido direito como a cena realmente era. Quando realmente vi no jogo,eu gostei do momento; o jeito com a Tifa pergunta se Cloud está bem,o jeito que ele a reconhece,e achei engraçado quando o Cloud deu aquele surto sim-eu-sou-Cloud-SOLDIER-primeira-classe.

This is one of my most favorite scenes from Final Fantasy VII and I've wanted to draw it since the first time I played the game. Tifa is a strong character, but in this scene she is placed in a vulnerable position and nearly gives up hope of escaping the gas chamber. I wanted to capture the scene right after she gets the key and is preparing to free herself. In the picture, I depicted Tifa offering a quick prayer before attempting her brave escape.

Robbie Cole - eirhjien (http://eirhjien.deviantart.com) - United States

This represents the final moments of the assault on Junon, but I'd like to think they were going for more then an epic man vs kaiju showdown. This scene serves as a somewhat obvious metaphor for man's lust to control nature, in this case Shinra harnesses the power of the world itself as a show of dominance, literally destroying the natural gods of the past. Though I think that was lost on most of us do to this being one of the first big action scenes of the FMV age. This would be flipped later on to show how nature eventually takes everything we've created back.

The introduction of Weapon moves the plot in an absolutely fun . I love the threats so big that make the old antagonists almost of supporting actors . This is one of those moments where you feel very much because they are dangerous Weapon

Before seeing this scene , I already knew and liked Final Fantasy VII , though I had never had the chance to play the game. I had seen many ' detonated / step by step ' , but had never understood how right the scene really was. When actually seen in the game , I liked the time ; the way with Tifa asks if Cloud is well , the way he recognizes it , and thought it was funny when the Cloud gave that outbreak yes - I'm- Cloud- SOLDIER - first - class

I pray that Google was of some accuracy because I don't speak these languages lol

Cette partie du jeu est assez triste. Apres avoir cherché Cloud un peu partout, Tifa le retrouve finalement à Mideel.
Lorsque je jouais, j’étais au début aussi excité qu'elle à l'idée de retrouvé notre protagoniste mais lorsque je l'ai vu en chaise roulante j'ai été aussi chamboulé que Tifa.
Le contraste entre la joie qu'éprouve Tifa lorsqu'elle apprends qu'elle a enfin retrouvé Cloud et la tristesse et le désespoir qui la saisissent lorsqu'elle voit son état est saisissant et touchant. Aujourd'hui encore j'en ai des frissons lorsque je vois cette scène.

When I was drawing this piece, it reminded me how intense this game can be! Each character has their troubled past, but as you progress through the game all the stories gets resolved, and not only does the character helps them, it also teaches us. In this case, Barret is saving his hometown of Coral from being destroyed by the out of control Shinra train. This is his redemption, and he thought that would never be possible. It's showing us that redemption is always achievable. On another note, I learnt that I need to practice drawing machinery.

This part of the game is pretty sad. After having sought Cloud everywhere, Tifa finally find him in Mideel .

Endlich hat sich Cid's Wunsch erfüllt. Ein unglaublich rührender Moment, der mir einen meiner lieblings Charaktere noch näher gebracht hat.

Finally Cid's wish came true. An incredible heart-warming moment, which made me love one of my favorite characters even more.

Watching this point in the story, I could imagine how Cid felt. He finally went into space and he watched all of his hard work burn up into a flash of light. It showed another major point in the story and how much of a challenge it was going to be for Cloud and the group to stop Meteor.

Sidequest time!

I'm going to shift through the next dozen art pieces pretty quickly. Enjoy the flurry of art before we get back to the main story!
