First released in 1991 as an offshoot of the Final Fantasy series, the beautifully rendered, action-packed world of Mana quickly took on a life and legacy of its own. Unusually naturalistic for most sci-fi game themes, Mana predated the lush aesthetics of Avatar by a generation. More than a quarter century later, the magic of Mana has woven its own entire universe, which has been beautifully captured in a new book from Dark Horse and Square Enix. The Art of Mana collects a trove of intergalactic gaming memories in over 200 pages, with more than 400 illustrations from the original creative team, along with detailed explorations of every character, original sketches, world designs, and much more.
