If you've never picked up one of the Material Ultimania books, these are essentially dedicated Final Fantasy Wikis but in print form. Each one focuses on Final Fantasy games, typically compiling several into a single volume, but Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a special case due to the sheer size of the game.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Material Ultimania Plus goes behind the scenes on the production of the game, and includes a wealth of additional content like cutscene storyboards, game scripts, and other planning materials, all accompanied by extensive commentary from the development staff. The 224-page hardcover also has gameplay walkthroughs with maps for Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Episode Intermission.

If you're looking to complete the set, you can pick up the first Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Material Ultimania for $25.49 (was $40) at Amazon. This 336-page hardcover includes a comprehensive collection of production art and CG art assets. Everything from character models, illustrations, locations, backgrounds, accessories, weapons, enemies, and more are covered in this encyclopedia.
