I love the way Lindblum is designed. The architecture is very grandiose. I wonder where they drew inspiration for it?

[@PeacefulPauseProductions]

The Elizabethan age?

[@dannypatrick9361]

Europe

[@ryry9780]

Would love to visit the city that inspired it

My favorite Castle 💕

[@anawood3338]

Love how this incorporates Baron's Castle Theme from FF4!

[@bootesvoid1275]

Love Lindblum! And Cid's theme is majestic!

[@runhidesleepeat]

The thought of searching for FF9 location concept art never crossed my mind so thank you for this!

[@marciobastos6429]

No problem. :D

[@knightshousegames]

It's all really really good I love how it feels like whoever is drawing it already has a sense of how the models will look in-game, and has such a great sense of scale. It felt like the characters were actually designed around the lessons they learned from VII and VIII in terms of polygon limits and such Nomura's hand drawn art is great and all, but this feels so well thought out. Crazy how the concepts are so close to the final product as well

[@danielramsey6141]

This damn Castle hit like a Truck! You knew it was huge, but DAMN!

[@ultris07]

Its amazing to think there was a lot of unused potential in all the various locations, such as Ipsen's Castle, which had a unique structure of ups downs and sideways walking platforms, and Lindblum, with its sprawling vertical architecture, and the grandiose castle.

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

Thanks for inclusion of artworks.

[@marciobastos6429]

No problem. I just thought this is the kinda game who deserves it and... the FFIX concept arts are gorgeous. =D

Jrpgs have largely went off the map, imagine you have areas like the castle here to play in a open world title. FF15 was a joke, damn missed opportunity there
