Set in front of Square Enix’s office in Shinjuku, the Artnia café is themed around the company’s many video game franchises including Final Fantasy. A premiere dining destination for Japanese fans and those lucky enough to travel abroad, the menu includes moogle-stamped flapjacks, and an assortment of Final Fantasy-themed sundaes and cocktails.
Artnia doesn’t only serve your stomach, but your desire to see some rare pieces of Final Fantasy paraphernalia up close.
Starting yesterday and continuing through the 24th of this month, Artnia is hosting an exhibit of Final Fantasy VIII artwork by Tetsuya Nomura. This includes character and monster design, as well as a few storyboards from the game’s many cinematics.
FF-Reunion writer Aibo visited Artnia yesterday, and brings us the spoils. This includes rare character concept artwork of Squall and Nomura’s drawings of Guardian Force Griever and arch villain time-sorceress Ultimecia.

If you could recall, Artnia was a cafe that sells FF themed food such as these.
