That should totally be included in collectors edition of the game, instead of pages on telling you how to proceed forward through corridors.

[CaramelMiki]

Those are awesome *A*
I like the Lightning with blonde hair XD

[novaheaven]

Thanks so much for scanning these

(Need to know the artist who drew that Lightning illustration, gorgeous!)
Also, I'd totally vote for Noa Ikeda to take Nomura's spot for the next couple FF's

[Falsate]

Yes, I've been waiting. Many thanks for this.
(The detail and effort put into the artwork as well as Gran Pulse's system is amazing.)

[taepoppuri]

Is it just me, or is Kamikokuryo's Lightning the best Lightning?

Absolutely.

Man, that guy's talented, I'd like to see him making more character's art for FF.

[CaramelMiki]

I can't stop laughing at the sketches of the characters in crystal stasis hahahah XD

But they all look so ~pretty~ I'm afraid this form is most flattering for the females and prepubescent male characters...

[Thula]

I think their Crystal form look awesome, from an artistical point of view.
Dajh is just adorable.









Hope still looks like a retard.

I wish we got a chance to see what Sazh and Snow's crystal forms looked like in the actual game

Hope is so ridiculously flat-chested. She should have at least some sort of breast action going on.

She hasn't hit puberty yet.

[Agent Dunham]

She's 14. I mean, seriously. There should be something.

Indeed. While Nomura's artistic style is still appreciated, Kamikokuryo character design should be implemented more often.

His version of Lightning carries a different type of pretty.

*make sense of that, if you will*

[Aurelia]

Which one is the Kamikokuryo design?

[remy]

Thank you very much for scans.


By the way I thought this was the only piece Kamikokuryo did of Lightning?
