Most of those just look like high res scans from books. Cool, but was hoping for something along the lines of the FFIX stuff that was rendered at a higher polygon count for some HK DVD. Not sure why I care... I've only played 2 FFs.

They do look scanned, but i'm not sure from where. They came from a disc i got from SCEE. I'm guessing it's an internal disc for marketing?

EDIT: I just added 3 more pics showing people actually working on the game. Don't know if this is any more interesting to people or not.

Wow, some of those pictures look like crap. I mean, it looks like Square abused the contrast level on those things. Ick. :\

On the other hand... I had no idea Yoshitaka Amano had done some art for the game. Cloud looks a lot more ... human than every other illustration I've ever seen. At least his hair looks normal!

I always liked the drawn concept art better than 3d models. I wish they showed us more of that, it's always helpful (and cool) to see how the characters first looked like and whatnot. I love Amano's art also.

I dislike the Tifa Nomura drew though. Her legs are too long for her torso and it really creeps me out.
