Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
No generative AI art.

The coolest name Square nearly fumbled.

This is Seiken Densetsu 2, and the first one on Game Boy was released in North America as Final Fantasy Adventure. The Playstation follow-up, Seiken Densetsu 4, AKA Legend Of Mana, is not to be confused with The Final Fantasy Legend, which is actually SaGa.

Over in Europe, Seiken Densetsu was eventually released as Mystic Quest... even though that was already the subtitle of a Final Fantasy spinoff... which got titled Mystic Quest Legend in Europe. Not to be confused with either aforementioned Legend.

And you thought it was confusing that US FF went 1-4-6.
