These artworks are by Hideo Minaba who was involved in this project as a concept artist.

Before that he worked as the art direction of games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, IX and XII. Hideo Minaba also designed costumes and backgrounds for Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns. For example, Hope and Paddra Nsu-Yeul’s outfits in FFXIII-2 were his creations.

The centuries have changed us, Snow and me. Once we fought together against our fates. Now he’s a patron of a never-ending revel, presiding over a banquet at the end of the world.

When I awoke from my dream of sleep, I was just in time to witness the end of the world.
