Beautiful artwork and really interesting comments from the artists in the back. I kind of wish they would go back to adding some commentary under the art like they used too, but I understand how crunched for time they are and am glad the artists get a blurb/brag area at the end. It's really cool knowing who designed what and how they felt designing it/their reactions to seeing people reacting to/wearing what they created in game and on social media.

The included minion for those that are curious (not naming it for spoiler reasons, just in case) is pretty large and very true to the original...err "item" in game (basically an exact mini-replica, nothing cartoony about it). It hovers around the players upper back/shoulder area and flies in a quick loop behind player when idle. Haven't checked Sanctuary dialouge for it yet.

(3.5) so i know nothing about final fantasy (i read this for work, lol). but the artwork was pretty, and i loved the variety of page layouts. the equipment section (monstrorum arms 😍) and the countdown to release artwork were my favorites. i would've rated this higher had descriptive text been added to each page, or even just at the beginning of each section.

It's lovely to have, but could really use more labels on gear and minions.
