This is yet another insanely packed issue.
From the 132 pages in total, I have over 60 of them that I'd like to post! 😅
So I'll try to pick some great stuff and save the rest for another day.

First up is the preview for Final Fantasy 8 on PSone from GamesMaster 80 - April 1999 (UK)

Favourite pixelated game....GO❗️

And when you're done, be sure to check out FFDOT., a love letter to the incredible pixel art found in the first 6 entries of the series. ♥️📚

@bookstodon

The image is a minimalist representation of the title "FF DOT" using pixel art, which evokes the style of early video game graphics. This is a reference to "Final Fantasy," as indicated by the text at the bottom of the image: "The Pixel Art of FINAL FANTASY." Below the pixelated "FF DOT" letters, there are four small, colorful pixel art characters and objects. These are typical of the visual style found in the early "Final Fantasy" games, which were known for their 8-bit and 16-bit graphics. The characters and objects depicted are iconic elements or characters from the "Final Fantasy" series, such as a Mog, a chocobo, a Cactuar, and an airship, all rendered in the charming and nostalgic pixel art style. This image suggests that the content is related to the "Final Fantasy" video game series and may be a book or another form of media celebrating the art and design of the games, particularly focusing on the pixel art that has become synonymous with the series' early entries.

    Honestly can't wait to add the Ultimania to the collection❗️

    But in the meantime, absolutely love seeing the amazing team at Shinra Archaeology Department already putting out some high quality English translations for it. ❤️

    The image displays the cover of a book titled "FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ULTIMANIA." The cover art features Aerith Gainsborough, a young woman with long brunette hair, kneeling at the Water Alter in the Forgotten City, water reaching up to her ankles. She is dressed in a red jacket top and a long pink dress, and her hands are clasped together in front of her in a prayerful gesture. Behind her, a magnificent and intricate formations creates a backdrop that resembles a grand, ethereal figure or entity. The overall atmosphere is one of wonder and serenity, with the light reflecting off the water and tiny particles scattered throughout the scene, suggesting a moment of tranquility or revelation. Above the character, the title "FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ULTIMANIA" is displayed prominently in gold letters with a trademark symbol, indicating the official nature of the publication. Below the image, additional text states "Edited by DIGITAL HEARTS Published by SQUARE ENIX."

    An exploration of performances, this book merges with performativity, revealing insights from Western art to digital storytelling.

    Perfect for researchers intrigued by , , and nonlinear .

    @bookstodon

    The image is the cover of a book titled "Performativity in Art, Literature, and Videogames" by Darshana Jayemanne. The cover is designed with a striking orange and white color scheme, featuring abstract shapes and symbols that evoke a sense of creativity and exploration within the fields of art, literature, and video games. The title is broken into three lines, emphasizing each of the key areas the book likely discusses: "performativity," "in art, literature," and "and videogames." This suggests that the book examines the concept of performativity across these different cultural mediums. At the bottom of the cover, the author's name, Darshana Jayemanne, is presented in white font, standing out against the orange background. Additionally, there is a symbol resembling a molecule or a simple abstract representation of connections, which could imply the interconnected nature of the topics discussed within the book.

    Hello everyone, I'm new on Mastodon and I'm excited to be on a social network that is chill, without algorithm and without ads as it feels refreshing, relaxing and the concept of Fediverse / open online is really cool

    There are many things I love to talk about but I particularly enjoy talking about Nintendo, JRPGs and Anime.

    Nice to meet you 🥳

    I understand some people might be disappointed, or even annoyed about the decision made for keeping FFVII Rebirth spoilers contained, but its not done to be malicious or out of spite.

    We want to make sure people enjoy it and find out the big moments on their own terms. And if we have to, we will extend that beyond the 4 week post-release timeline already in place.

    Otherwise please do join us on the @LemmyWorld Final Fantasy Community!

    I didn't know what to expect from the unannounced job but I wasn't expecting Krile to job change into a Pictomancer, Alphinaud in the previous trailer was just bait.

    But with 2 new DPS jobs, DPS queues are going to be absolutely disgusting come the new expansion

    The final game completed for 2023 is a classic game and absolutely loved playing through it and finishing it. the game has a great villain and great story. I played the game when it first came out in the snes and the pixel remaster did a great job.

    From the pages of Gamest magazine: a photographic glimpse into the heart of Squaresoft's offices in Japan during the development of Final Fantasy VII in 1996.

    That's one helluva multi-monitor setup they've got there!

    The extended Dawntrail trailer doesn't really add anything new that's importent but I am absolutely excited for this new expansion, I'm loving the style of these zones and I can't wait to see every DPS queuing as a Viper... and we can't forget the Kirito cosplayers https://youtu.be/2ISoqghadkE

    If there's just one thing FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN got absolutely right, it's that Rule of Cool takes priority over nearly everything including the laws of physics.

    So excited to see more love; this time from Joe Bourrie's upcoming book "Beyond the NES"! ❤️

    In addition to Dustin Hansen's gorgeous cover art, this book celebrates the Famicom's rich library, and is inspired by classic gaming mags of yesteryear.
