#Seiken Densetsu 2 #Secret of Mana #Art of Mana #1990s #video games #Koichi Ishii & Hiromichi Tanaka #these two are producer/directors but are credited as the artists in the index #maybe their commentary is credited in the index? #some of the commentary seems pretty specific if they aren't the ones drawing these #but as I said in an earlier post it's possible these were just in an archive somewhere and the artist's name was lost #or it was a group effort???

#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
