While these days Minaba is mostly known for his work with Granblue Fantasy, this book runs the gamut of his career (most notably with Squaresoft and the Final Fantasy series) , there are some interesting detours into territory I wasn't expecting like various Mistwalker titles and even the original Super Mario RPG!
There's a ton of neat stuff here, and in my opinion is made all the better by how unfinished it is. Most of the book is ink work, with a variety of both rough and detailed pencils. There are the occasional splashes of color but the majority of work here is pretty loose and sketchy, which gives a good look at how the artist works.
