Square Enix Manga & Books is planning to release a multitude of new manga and books from late 2023 through 2024. Among the titles being released are The Art of Final Fantasy XVI (English Edition) and Encyclopaedia Eorzea III: The World of Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy XVI Poster Collection (English Edition) will also release within the time frame. All three Final Fantasy titles are currently available for pre-order.
Final Fantasy XVI hit consoles late last month. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that Square Enix is capitalising on the launch by releasing an art book. The Art of Final Fantasy XVI (English Edition) features lavish illustrations and concept art, allowing fans to see how the game’s world was created. With over 300 pages, the book includes a full-colour case wrap and a foil-stamped jacket. The book retails at $39.99 USD and will release on March 19th, 2024.
Final Fantasy XVI Poster Collection will launch in Spring 2024 and is currently available for pre-order. The title includes 33 large-format art prints. Each print comes in full colour on press-varnished card stock. The posters feature the game’s main characters, Eikons and more.
Finally, Encyclopaedia Eorzea III: The World of Final Fantasy XIV offers fans a plethora of information about the game’s Shadowbringers and Endwalker expansions. With this title, Square Enix provides beautiful illustrations and comprehensive histories of the game’s land and people. Encyclopaedia Eorzea III: The World of Final Fantasy XIV releases on December 19th, 2023
