Final Fantasy VI
Terra the magical half-human. Shadow the mysterious assassin. Celes the tough, tender general. Kefka the fool who would be god. Each of the many unforgettable characters in Final Fantasy VI has made a huge impression on a generation of players, but why do we feel such affection for these 16-bit heroes and villains as so many others fade? The credit goes to the game’s score, composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. Armed with newly translated interviews and an expert ear for sound, writer and musician Sebastian Deken conducts a critical analysis of the musical structures of FF6, the game that pushed the Super Nintendo’s sound capabilities to their absolute limits and launched Uematsu’s reputation as the “Beethoven of video game music.” Deken ventures deep into the game’s lush soundscape—from its expertly crafted leitmotifs to its unforgettable opera sequence—exploring the soundtrack’s lasting influence and how it helped clear space for game music on classical stages around the world.

Le monde selon Final Fantasy
En trente-cinq ans d’existence, Final Fantasy a su capturer l’imagination d’un public toujours plus large ; difficile pourtant d’en expliquer la raison. L’aventure du RPG japonais, dont la saga de Square Enix est sans nul doute le plus prestigieux ambassadeur, a décidément quelque chose de particulier dans le monde du jeu vidéo, et peut-être même dans celui de la fiction. Il n’est pas nécessaire de se focaliser sur les nombreux emprunts à la mythologie, ses dieux et ses bestiaires pour voir en Final Fantasy une énième tentative d’écrire le grand récit de l’humanité. Au travers des siècles, nous n’avons cessé de dépeindre l’homme dans toute sa complexité, e...
L’anomalie Undertale
Drôle, corrosif, malin, émouvant, irrévérencieux, audacieux : les adjectifs ne manquent pas pour qualifier Undertale. Le RPG minimaliste de Toby Fox a su se constituer une communauté de fans particulièrement dense et dévouée, au point que chaque nouvelle création de son auteur est désormais vécue comme un événement – ce qu’il entretient lui-même par une communication éparse et mystérieuse. Avec L’Anomalie Undertale. Décryptage d’un jeu monstre, Corentin Benoit-Gonin, au gré d’une plume éloquente et pleine d’humour, revient sur les coulisses de création du jeu, en explique les nombreuses sources d’influence, avant d’en décortiquer le fond et la forme, puis de s’attarder sur l’héritage laissé par Undertale. Et à œuvre singulière, ouvrage singulier : la mise en page très graphique saura bousculer vos habitudes !
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
This book is intended for readers around the world. Not only to lovers of the Devolver Digital publisher and video game lovers, but also to those who don't care or know anything about it. Why? Because it tells a story that tends towards the universal, shared between moments of distress, doubt, hope and joy. Devolver is a name synonymous with independent games, with a strong identity, as well as a singular and marked communication. Far from the often polite attitude of the great video game publishers, Devolver stands out for its rebellious, punk spirit, which goes hand in hand with a keen business sense. The result of a meticulous investigation by journalists Baptiste Peyron and Pierre Maugein, Devolver Behind the Scenes: Business and Punk Attitude offers, in an illustrated book, the complete and unpublished history of this atypical publisher, articulated around the reported comments of more than forty people gravitating around the Devolver sphere, including the five founders.
The Making of Copernicus
The contributions to Making of Copernicus examine exemplarily how some of the Copernicus myths came about and if they could hold their ground or have vanished again. Are there links between a factual or postulated transformation of world images and the application of certain scientific metaphors, especially the metaphor of a revolution? Were there interactions and amalgamations of the literary and scientific enthronement, or outlawry of Copernicus and if so, how did they take place? On the other hand, are there repercussions of the scientific-historical reconstructions and hagiographies on the literary image of Copernicus as sketched by novelists even in the 20th century? The history of the reception of Copernicus shall not be dominantly dealt with from the point of view of a factual affirmation and rejection of the astronomer and his doctrine but rather as accomplishments of transformation respectively. Thus, the essays in this volume investigate transformations: methodological, institutional, textual, and visual transformations of the Copernican doctrine and the topical, rhetorical and literary transformations of the historical person of Copernicus respectively.
