FINAL FANTASY "LIMITED" ITEMS

MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VARIOUS FINAL FANTASY ART MUSEUM PROMOTIONAL CARD SETS AND THE THE FINAL FANTASY CREATURES COLLECTION.  BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE, I DECIDED TO FIND OUT EVERYTHING I COULD...RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR THE FOLLOWING SECTION.  THIS PAGE IS INTENDED TO GIVE MUCH USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIMITED ITEMS AND HOW VARIOUS ITEMS WERE ORIGINALLY ACQUIRED.  ALL THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS BASED ON MASSIVE HOURS OF INTENSE RESEARCH AND IN-DEPTH FINDINGS. I HAVE SEARCHED VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE THAT A PERSON CAN WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING IN JAPAN.  SO...THE INFORMATION MAY NOT BE 100% PERFECT, BUT MOST LIKELY 99.9% CORRECT.  EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE MORE DETAILS ON THESE OR ANY SETS I HAVE NOT INCLUDED.



FINAL FANTASY ART MUSEUM PROMOTIONAL CARDS
There are 3 promotional cards for each FFAM series, making 15 cards all total as of FFAM5.  Most promotional cards have the card title followed by "/ PROMOTIONAL" and are numbered P-01 through P-03 with the exception of FFAM4.  FFAM4 promotional cards are numbered P-01, P-02 and SP00.  The SP00 foil card replaces P-03.  The FFAM Premium Version 1 P-01 card is the first promotional card from a special version set.  The promotional card names are listed by series below and I added how I believe they were obtained.  Every "prize drawing" card arrived with an offical letter of congratulations.   Most commonly now, you have to trade heavily for them or win them in auction forums...if you are lucky to even find one.  Most promotional cards are rare, with the exception of (FFAM4) SP00 and (FFAM5) P-03 cards.
