Video Game Art

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.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. No generative AI art.

I loved 9 and didn't finish 8, but i grew up playing the first. You are right, though, I barely remember the story, but as soon as I saw this picture i remembered every characters name and abilities except the red haired guy. I can't seem to remember anything about him.

I definitely got further into 9 than 8, but don't know that I ever met the entire cast. The only name I remember for sure is Vivi. Is the main guy Zidane, maybe?

I remember being so excited for 9, thinking it would take me back to 3, which was my rpg touchstone. I tried to really sell myself on it, but ultimately lost interest. I'd love to go back and try it again at some point and see how I feel.

If you liked 3/6 you probably should try it again. The story wasn't as captivating, but the characters were almost as good. Nobody will ever best Celes though, she is bae. Yes Zidane is the main character. From top to bottom in this art is Freya, Vivi, Steiner, Garnet, Zidane, Eiko, idk, and Quina

Apparently his name is Amarant Coral. I can never remember his name either.
