nothing wrong with taking your time

Take your time Nomura. Always been a fan of his illustrations.

Obviously he is not he needs to put in atleast 5 more easter eggs that give us a hint for the future of the series for us to obsess over 

Thanks nomura for everything

Well he better get on that. It’s in only a few weeks. 

I'm glad they're at least able to share the artwork even though it's not completely done yet, way to get fans pumped up.  Hopefully we'll see the finished piece some time soon.
