October’s “Kaiju Crate” will include an autographed copy of The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy Slipcased Edition. The three-volume set includes Amano’s illustrations and designs from the first ten Final Fantasy games.

Loot Crate will offer three Kaiju Crates this month, which will be awarded to three randomly-chosen subscribers. The books tie into October’s Loot Anime theme, “Gods and Spirits.”
