I’m obsessed with japanese Sega Saturn game manuals. i.e. this one is from Shining the Holy Ark and I just completely love how it presents all the characters with full body art and a stylish background related to their personality. Also tiny compressed screenshots are super nostalgic to me somehow haha.
yeah! those are like the first couple of monsters you face too, so it’s pretty rewarding to see them transform from cool concept art to pre-rendered animated sprites in-game. I’m pretty sure they just tell you some vague description of what they are and what they can do too. Cool way to do a “monster manual” kinda thingie.
