About
Beyond the Sky is "a collaborative fan book celebrating the beautiful worlds of the Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy. The book will feature illustrations, writing, and various media of everyone’s beloved characters exploring the awesome environments of the series, from the vast Bionis and Mechonis in XB1, the cloudy world of Alrest in XB2, and even glimpses of Aionios in XB3. Our vision is to give readers a sense of adventure as they flip through the pages of the book as if they were experiencing the breathtaking games all over again."[1] As it is a charity zine, leftover profits will go to Ocean Conservancy.
