The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy
by Yoshitaka Amano
I received a free ecopy of this from NetGalley.
There are really only so many things that I can say about this book. Beautiful is definitely right on the top of that list.
This book is literally hundreds of pages of almost nothing but gorgeous artwork for the long running series of video games it names. It's a showcase of stunning watercolours of characters, places, and monsters from the games, starting right from the beginning with the first. Well, it's mostly characters and places but on the occasion that we get a panning scenery shot it's more than worth the rarity of them in the book (a particular favourite: the first illustration for VI, showing Terra overlooking a city).
The art is beautiful, but to fans of the series it's also interesting and insightful. There was something certainly fun about getting to see these pieces re-invoking the games I played from my childhood, piecing together how they translated from these pieces to what we see in the earliest systems.
A stunning piece for collectors and fans.
