CG render of the airship Highwind and Aeris Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII. This render was released before the game's debut and was featured on one of the inside covers of the CD case. This image was a source of great speculation among fans, as it depicts Aeris clearly waiting for the Highwind to dock, but she is no longer a playable character when the airship is first available for flight. It could also be seen as symbolic of Cloud's promise to take Aeris aboard the airship one day.
