Where's a Thread With Sprite Ripping Tools?

[Otaku Son]

I was brought to this site because I Yahooed for ""Final Fantasy VII" sprite ripper" and this site was among the top of the list. However, the available sprites aren't what I was looking for. After taking fifteen minutes to browse through the forums to try to find ripping tools, I couldn't find any in any of the posted threads.

I would be more than willing to do my own sprite ripping if I had the tools to do so. So, could anyone tell me what sort of utility I should look for to rip sprites from Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX?
