FF DOT: The Pixel Art of Final Fantasy

Growing up playing NES & SNES games, I love pixel/sprite art. Featuring pixel art from Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy VI, this book has various types of pixel art including sprite sheets of different poses & walk cycles, backgrounds, monsters, and pixels of characters if they were done in 2018. There’s even pixel art from Final Fantasy VII to Final Fantasy XV. My ONLY complaint is that even though the book I got came in plastic wrap, somehow a couple of pages have creases. But since the creases are light, I’m gonna let that slide. All in all, this is a must have for those who love the Final Fantasy games from the NES and/or SNES era or those who love pixel art in general.

This artbook covers most retro ff games, prints are colorful and well organized. Great for collectors and hobbiest who do perler bead art.

This is a fun little book that memorializes all the amazing sprite data from my favorite Final Fantasy games.

Highest quality print. I ordered this book during the early part of the 2020 pandemic. When it arrived I was so happy. The images were comforting during a time of great stress in our world. It reminded me that Final Fantasy has been a tremendous part of my life. I'm grateful for the effort put into this book, which was in part a preview of the Pixel Remasters that came later. Brilliant.

I would give this book 5 stars, but at the end of the day I don't think I can. I love flipping through it and looking at the color palettes and seeing the ways the artists communicated ideas through their limited palettes and spaces. There are also little 3D paper arts you can do of some of the sprites, like the fountain pictured above. It has helped me in my pixel art journey and it could 100% help you. The only reason I would say not to buy it is because all of the sprites are accessible online. If you want to understand the art on a deeper level and develop an appreciation for the passion that pixel art contains, buy it. If you want to look at them quickly as references and are an experienced pixel artist, it is not as useful, you could learn the rules just by looking at the sprites online, but you would miss the explanations and writings that help explain the art.

I bought this book at launch and it has pretty much become my “bible” for Final Fantasy pixel art. I sew and love making nerdy quilts so when I saw this, it was a total insta-buy. It showcases so much original art as well as newly designed sprites (for both older and newer games). I honestly didn’t know about the newer games being designed as sprites so when I saw this, I immediately got to creating. Beyond this being a great pattern book for pixel quilting, I loved seeing a piece of FF history we don’t get to know about. Also loved the interview showcased. A good book for any Final Fantasy lover collection!

I love this book! I grew up with the NES and this brought back a lot of memories of how as a kid I would get lost in the creativity of what developers of these games made with only some blocks. I love pixel art and this book is great if you enjoy making your own and admiring the work of someone else's and seeing their imagination from some truly great games. This book is small in size but is perfect size to show blown up images of final fantasy pixel characters and creatures, also of places from the games. Also having final fantasy characters from beyond the Nintendo/SNES was a really cool surprise to see if they had been made in that era.

A really awesome book, it's a must have for any final fantasy fan. So many pages(300!) for such little price. Beautifully made! It arrived in a hard package in perfect condition.

Wie kann Amazon diese Bescheuert dünnen Verpackungen verwenden bei Artbüchern die nicht kaputtgehen sollen. Dieses Buch war grenzwertig beschädigt durch dilettantischer Amazon Karton Verpackung. Umweltschutz schön und gut aber diese dünnen Versandkartons gehen gar nicht !!! Buch ist Top

Il libro è davvero ben fatto, di ottima qualità, e contiene delle immagini molto belle. Uno sguardo divertente alla pixel art di tutti i giochi di Final Fantasy, oltre a una bella intervista con la donna che li ha creati. Un pezzo da collezione indispensabile se sei un fan di lunga data di Final Fantasy fin dalle sue fasi iniziali.

I was learning more about pixel art and stumbled across this book and it helped me understand and appreciate the FF series that helped create the RPG genre. Great book, well made and worth it.
