Final Fantasy Tribute II by ~Typthis has been suggested by quite a few deviants and I can see why! At first sight all you see is ' Final Fantasy ' written on a white background, but upon closer inspection your jaw drops at the sight of (almost?) every single character in the games forming part of a letter! The time and care that Typthis must have put into this artwork is incredible!

Description

Note You *have* to hit download if you want to be able to make out the figures. Otherwise they are way too tiny.


Dedication:
To the moderators of Elfwood, especially the Fanquarter mods, I thank you for your patience with both this picture and previous ones with mamoth character lists. I am also sorry for the duplicate descriptions and 'hidden' character lists. (I'll include myself in this, after all it took nearly two months and some prodding before it got modded)
Thanks also go to the Final Fantasy Wiki as my primary source for references and Video Game Sprites.net for their great collection of named sprites from the NES and SNES FFs.

Spread over 6 A3 sheet of paper, encompasing over 400 characters and producing a digital file 20,000px by 4,000px large over a period of nearly 3 months this is the largest picture I have ever done. This is a 'fare thee well' for FF fan art. I'm not doing any more, at least not for a long time. Each letter contains the characters from one game starting with FFI and finishing with FFXII. The idea is that you can see the design progression through the series.

It's not 100% perfect. I haven't played XI so was relying solely on FFWiki. Interpreting NES sprites isn't easy and, ironically, finding decent references for some of the FFXII characters was hard.

Challenge! I accidentally included a character in one of the letters which doesn't belong in that game. First person to correctly identify the character and game gets a free commision. Going through the character lists won't help, they are still included there. I've made the character lists in green so that people can play Final Fantasy I-Spy if they wish. Also see if you can spot the all the reccuring characters. They are marked with * in the List. ---- indicates a branch in the letter.

The character lists are here:

[link] (Fantasy)

DD Edit: Thank you ^rydi1689 and all those who suggested it. It seems fitting that I'm listenting to Michael Huang's 'FF female grand theme remix' at the moment. Oh and I'll get around to responding to faves/comments in the next few days.

2nd Edit: The misplaced character has been correctly identified. Credit goes to ~tinaddar. The misplaced character was the Cactaur in the letter 'L' which coresponded to the game FFV. Cactaurs did not appear in the FF games until FFVI. However there is a Cactaur's '1000 needles' like attack in FFV called 'Blow Fish'.

Last Edit:
Have now played FFXIII.
