Square Enix Manga & Books announced on Monday that it will release two tie-in books for Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVI game in English. The first book, LOGOS: The World of Final Fantasy XVI, will ship in March 2026. The second book, The Art of Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Rising Tide, will ship in May 2026.

Square Enix describes LOGOS: The World of Final Fantasy XVI:

Uncover the secrets of Valisthea and its inhabitants in this expansive compilation of FINAL FANTASY XVI lore!

Written from the perspective of Valisthean scholar and hideaway loresman Harpocrates II Hyperboreos, this compendium will take readers on an exclusive deep dive into FINAL FANTASY XVI's rich lore. It explores a wide variety of topics, from music to literature to religion—even cooking!—through numerous entries transcribed from journals, diaries, letters, and character conversations. LOGOS is more than just an encyclopedia: it's a window into the realm of Valisthea and the lives of its inhabitants, as told by those inhabitants themselves.
