Now for my own personal opinion on the Naughty Dog pieces, I have no interest in buying a one off giclee that is framed because there is simply no guarantee the piece couldn't be easily re-printed in the same form in the future. That is unless of course Gallery Nucleus has a CoA stating otherwise. With paintings and drawings you know you are getting the only one with no concern of reproduction.
This provides a good overview of a giclee:

Giclee is a fancy term for a digital (albeit expensive) print (quality varies widely but
they are posters).
Also, you do realize the Final Fantasy print you posted is a giclee and the CoA you have does not say it will not be reprinted (just that it was made for that show, they still own the rights, and they'll sue your ass if you try to sell copies)?
