Square announces The Art of Final Fantasy

Squaresoft recently revealed plans for the release of a new limited edition boxed set of illustration books titled The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy. Containing over 700 total pages, three books will reproduce the entirety of character designer and concept artist Yoshitaka Amano’s involvement with the Final Fantasy series. Design art, sketches, and paintings from all of the games, including as-yet unreleased material from Final Fantasy X, will be included. A fourth volume will include a comprehensive biography, interviews, and a guided tour of Amano’s New York and Tokyo studios. Two limited edition postcards and a small animated flip book round out the collection. The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy will be released in Japan on July 19 at a retail price of 28,000 yen.

AnimeNation will attempt to import copies of this limited edition set, but we cannot guarantee availibility or price. If and when we receive confirmation from our Japanese supliers that we’ll be able to acquire copies of this set, it will be made available through the AnimeNation website.
