What is it? It's mentioned in a CloTi shrine as being very CT friendly.
" I don't think I found a scene in the whole book without Tifa with Cloud *whoosh*"

Here's what I found about it at RPGamer:

I'm writting to answer your plea for a dedicated nut to explain Digicube's perfect works series. I also recently acquired XG: The Perfect Works, and this has caused me to do some research into the rest of the Digicube line of books. As for 'Perfect Works' books in particular, there are only a few--3 to be precise. Xenogears: The Perfect Works was the first, being released on 10/8/98 for 3,500 yen (about $30... a LOT less than I paid, unfortunately...). Then came Saga Frontier 2: The Perfect Works, released on 7/15/99 and the most recent was Front Mission 3: The Perfect Works which was released 11/19/99. These are the only Digicube books to bear the Perfect Works name, but there are many more similar books. For example, Final Fantasy: The Complete Works (a great series, BTW, if you can ever find them and if you speak Japanese...) and several others. All of the books with similar content as this for their respective games bare a seires of Kanjis that go as follows (you need Japanese decoding software to see these; if you don't have any, check out www.njstar.com):

[Insert Japanese Text here] (Sorry, my mail program botched on this -- Brad)

For those who do not speak Japanese, that is pronounced: Settei-Shiryou-Shuu. This translates roughly to "Established Data Collection". It sounds a lot cooler in Japanese I guess...

Anyway, in addition to Digicube's Settei-Shiryou-Shuu books and their line of guidebooks, they also have a series called the "Memorial Album" series,of which I do not currently own any, but have had FF7: Memorial Album back-ordered for about a month and a half now... :(. Anyway, the Memorial Album books are essentially a more-or-less complete script of the in-game text along with CG shots of what was happening at the time.

Finally, they also have a series of weirder books such as the "Chocobo Racing Post Card Collection" (no joke... how could I make something like that up?) and the "Final Fantasy Paper Craft Book". Of course, these are next to impossible to find in America, but such is life.

I'm sure that was more info than anyone but me could have possibly been interested in. ;)

From what that article says, it was published by Digicube rather than Square... so how official is it? Was Digicube provided with official information from Square for the publication, or not? :unsure:

Thanks Anastar! So, it was pretty much the game's scripts, with screenshots to go along...so not just a big book of Cloud and Tifa. Maybe Wilhielm..wi..wilheilm....how DO you spell his name? Anyways, the nice guy who knows Japanese can expand more on it!

I have the FFVII International Memorial Album. Unfortunately, it is in Japanese. I just got it for the pictures. :lol:

So what was your impression, FF_Goddess? Is it all Cloud and Tifa pics, like the shrine says... or no?

No, they are all just screenshots from the game. Even in the date scene at Gold Saucer, they show three different shots of Cloud going out on a date with Aerith, Tifa, and Yuffie. :rolleyes:

It looks like it's nothing to worry about then. :rolleyes:

I'd be curious to hear just how much help Square gave Digicube with this publication, though.

Oh...
that book. I've seen it before but I didn't get the chance to buy it because I bought the Final Fantasy VIII Memorial Album first. =_=' When I came back to the store, someone else got the Final Fantasy VII. Baaaaah..... :(
I haven't really seen the rest of the pages of that book, only the information about ShinRa. So I didn't really notice the CloudxTifa crap that Cloti people are talking about.

Sefie - November 19, 2004 12:45 AM (GMT)
Hmmm, this's all good to know! Thanks FFG and Anastar!

PUHLEASZZ I HAVE THAT BOOK, IT TALKS about the carp! I think? NEWAYz Cloud/Tifa people are dumb because they don't have ANY PROOF AND WE HAVE IT ALL!!!

I hope you enjoyed your trip to Sarcasm Land. Your posts will now be reviewed by the staff before they are posted. ~FF_G~

Wow, a Cloti is finally admitting that we have all the evidence. :rolleyes:

Feel like joining the club, honey? All you have to do first is to take a deeep breath, adopt all the pink things you can find, brush up on your Japanese culture (carp!) and then say solemnly: "Cloud and Aerith are the true couple of FFVII".

I hope I have a convert by the end of today... :rolleyes:

:ph43r: That is some revelation...
honestly, it's not like they couldn't read the forum without registering in the first place... they had to register and come in to insult themselves. Brilliant

Hmm...but its quite funny. Quite some revelation there. It just show how low some Cloti can go to get what they want. By mocking Cloriths, I see. But, hey, its admitting something of what they probably are. :lol:
