An Encyclopedia Norvradt would be amazing But they are an incredible amount of work according to Koji and are still riddled with errors and inconstancies, so much so they even pulled in some players who are knee deep in lore all the time to help with vol.2, like Moose and then added the disclaimer that they are 'how the people of Eorzea see things, so they are bound to be flawed' to cover any. I got mine off ebay from a japanese retailer - english language and boxed as new. Guess you just have to stick around. The mobile ebay app has this feature, where you can save a search value like 'encyclopedia eorzea' and get notified, if there's a new product online. I saved only 'eorzea' to. Such a marvel proof not only that the gods exist, but that they love, and that profoundly.Orrick Ballard, explorer and map-maker Eorzea is the setting of Final Fantasy XIV.

The Final Fantasy franchise has always been praised for its unique and beautifully designed characters and the creation of lush and detailed backgrounds. The franchise has also been a popular series to have adapted fan art by amateur illustrators. In addition, Final Fantasy is also famous for each game in the franchise having such a deep, detailed and illustrative plot to the story. Not only the storyline of the game but for each individual character that is created in the franchise. There is a limited amount of information that can be included into one game, so for Final Fantasy fans that want to learn more about their favorite game or characters, Square Enix has released a series of Encyclopaedia and books that give a more detailed look on the franchise. These books provide information on each game of the series which the production team weren’t able to fit into the game. Here are some examples of popular and famous Final Fantasy books.
Encyclopaedia Eorzea
Approximately six years after the release of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix released the Encyclopaedia Eorzea, a book that covers the backstory and lore of Final Fantasy XIV. The title was produced by the game’s development team and is over 300 pages long and details the history and cultures of Eorzea (A region in the world of Hydaelyn, comprising the Aldenard continent and where the game takes place) as well as information on its various inhabitants. The Encyclopaedia was written by Banri Oda, Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, Natsuko Ishikawa and supervised by Final Fantasy XIV Producer and Director, Naoki Yoshida.

The books are printed on glossy stock and are a total of 640 Pages, split into three volumes and full of artwork from classic to new and includes never before seen and unpublished works and concept art. The book was originally published by DigiCube in Japan in 2001, then Dark Horse Comic in English in 2012.

Dawn: The Worlds of Final Fantasy
Dawn: The Worlds of Final Fantasy is an art book that compiles a number of sketches by Yoshikata Amano that span much of his work on the first four Final Fantasy games. It included concept sketches, paintings, and detailed line art. The book was published by NTT Publishing in Japan in the year 1991 and an English version was released by Dark Horse Comics 2009 and is 116 pages long. This was the first art book that Square Enix and Amano allowed to be adapted and sold globally outside of Japan.

The Final Fantasy Ultimania books represent a number of guidebooks and artbooks. In Japan, the editions were released 25 after the release of Final Fantasy 1 as Final Fantasy 25th Memorial Ultimania on December 18, 2012. The guide books were released to mark the 25th anniversary of the series and have since been published digitally. Studio BentStuff was responsible for the writing and Editing and the work was supervised by Square Enix. The English versions of the books were released by Dark Horse Comics, a publishing company responsible for Dawn: The Worlds of Final Fantasy and The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy, all released on separate dates. French and German editions have since been released. Each separate component of the volumes is over 300 pages. Square Enix and Studio BentStuff have released a number of companion books over the years (a total of 72 so far), most of which cover single Final Fantasy games or their offshoots.
