#Seiken Densetsu #Final Fantasy Adventure #Koichi Ishii #Art of Mana #1990s #video games #I forgot to load the rest of the queue!#a couple extra posts to make up for it #also I realized as I was posting that some of the early art may be uncredited with commentary by Koichi Ishii and Hiromichi Tanaka #it's possible the art is theirs but also possible it's from the Square archives #so I'm going to throw their names in the tags when it may be them but I'm not sure #their commentary was on some later Nobuteru Yuki art so sometimes it for sure isn't them
