 I've been seeing a bunch of these at bookstores for various series: Mario, Zelda, a bunch of Final Fantasy ones and an MGS one, among others. They're always sealed in plastic. Has anyone here bought one or had a chance to look through it? Are they any good?

depends on who did the art for the game, dont u think? most of them get scanned or the art in them is already all over the internet anyway so theyre just collectors items

https://imgur.com/a/B5KEA heres a ton of kazuma kaneko demon designs from his very expensive art book series for example

you can also find every single piece of final fantasy concept art for every game and spinoff on the final fantasy wiki
This is what I was figuring but wasn't sure if they had extra stuff of interest or w/e

Once you find out what Mario looks like, what's the point?
