The first volume in this new series will cover games titled to A-K, and this 550-page book is written by game critic and researcher Moses Norton. The hardcover edition will focus on games like The 7th Saga, Eye of the Beholder, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, EarthBound, EVO, Final Fantasy 2, and many more, and it features detailed writing, developer quotes, and genre history.
Additionally, there’s restored art and “lost knowledge”, and Bitmap Books says it’s “an uncompromising and exhaustive study of the artistry, ideology, and legacy of SNES RPGs” using a methodology that doesn’t rely on picking favorites. The cover features striking art, provided by professional artist Stephen “Stumpyfongo” Sitton.
