cup top And The Last Illusion not two games that we usually associate with each other, but today that has changed. StudioMDHR shared some limited edition artwork that will be included in the Japanese Premium Edition (via SuperDeluxe game) by none other than Yoshitaka Amano, the incredible main artist of the first six Final Fantasy games.
Known for designing many of the series’ iconic characters, all logos, and even providing illustrations after he relinquished the following role. Final Fantasy VI, Amano’s work is loved all over the world. And StudioMDHR collaborated with the artist who designed the jacket for The Last Delicioussoundtrack’s jacket. The developer shared the work on Twitterand to say it looks great is an understatement.
Even from the main image, it doesn’t scream Cuphead right off the bat, but there’s plenty of elements from the base game and DLC there, including plenty of enemies, bosses, and the Devil, who take up more than half his sleeve. . It looks like a huge monster from Final Fantasy that is extremely scary and extremely scary.
Here’s a rough machine translation via Google translate of the tweet, along with those incredible photos:
“This is the premiere of the DLC soundtrack jacket, a collaboration between world-renowned artists Yoshitaka Amano and Cuphead! It pays homage to many of the classic fantasy RPGs that inspired Cuphead. Please watch the fierce battle with the devil!Only in the first DELUXE RUN that comes with the package version of this work released from @sdxgames!”
We love details like the blonde in the bottom right corner (who looks a bit like Terra in FFVI) using a spoon as a weapon or the bombs from Dr. Kahl’s Robot near the Devil. There are tons of references in there – see if you can spot them all!
So far, this Premium Edition artwork appears to be confirmed only for Japan, but we’re crossing our arms and praying that we’ll somehow get this artwork in the West. .
What do you think of Yoshitaka Amano’s art here? Would you like to see a Cuphead RPG? Get brewing in the comments.
