Thief Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 900 pages of coloured goodness? No wonder it sold out like hotcakes! Damn my waiting for details... I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's 240 pages full with 900 illustrations. But yeah, still awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 On average, 3+ illustrations per page then. Must be quite small. Hmmm... in that case, I shall reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangoking Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Check out this ebay seller's listing for some details. In my opinion, this book is a pretty fair deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270602363251&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowknight Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I am getting that artbook no matter what! FE NEEDED something like this so badly; considering how much emphasis they put on the artwork. I hope there's a ton of PoR?RD illustrations. *melts* Know this sounds kinda silly/stupid to ask; but is it completely out for now (and ever) or... is it going to come back and be sold in regular bookstores/online?

Thief Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 It was available on Amazon, but was sold out even before release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'll wait another 20 years for an even more complete collection by then. XD ............... .................. Dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangoking Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) I just got this book from eBay and it is way better than I expected. Tons of artworks (some were never revealed before) on every page. And yes, it's got all the characters from PoR and RD, maybe with only a few NPCs artwork left out. It is fun to see how the characters's outfits changed from PoR to RD. Edited July 20, 2010 by Sangoking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Tons of artworks (some were never revealed before) on every page. Can you give me a brief list of these artworks? I haven't seen the entire book yet, but I haven't seen any new pieces of art besides the concept art for Ike, Elincia and two other characters that I've forgotten. I am interested in seeing the possible higher resolution versions of existing artworks that are otherwise only available in small resolutions, such as the FE8 and FE10 artwork.

Shadowknight Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Anybody willing to link to one that's being sold? I've only found one on ebay that's currently going for 30 bucks. Can you be specific about what artwork PoR/RD has? Do minor characters get any extra artworks we haven't seen? Dagnabit! WANT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGdood Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hmm..how about someone scan this? =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I actually managed to get a copy. Very nice. They actually have nearly all of Sacred Stones' character artworks as well, although the style pales in comparison to the other GBA titles IMO. If you can get it at its retail price, it's very worth it. p.s. Nothing on Hasha no Ken though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Is it possible to obtain this without me having to sell my soul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 No idea. As soon as Amazon's stock was gone, I placed an order via a local bookstore, and it arrived two weeks later as promised. One major problem with the character arts in this game is that due to amount they packed into such a small book, many of them overlap with each other. They are minor, but still pretty annoying. And the collected artworks from the now defunct trading cards were the worst, when it comes to seriously tiny resizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Ah, thanks! If I'm reading Amazon correctly, it looks like they've got some used copies. EDIT: Dumb question no. 2. . .but do I need to create a separate account to order off of Japan's Amazon site? Edited July 31, 2010 by eclipse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Yes. Amazon accounts are restricted to the specific regional sites. Most things are available in English though, so it shouldn't be too hard to use their Japan site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks! It looks like they won't ship this internationally, as it seems to fall under games (which is not shipped internationally). I'll see if I can find somewhere in Japan to drop the order off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Wait, so the book has very little original artwork, or a lot? I mean, if it's just the same official art, I can just fucking print them all and make my own book. I need to know how much new material is in there before I decide on buying.

Most of it yes, probably 95% is the art you've seen before, but the presentation is stellar. (Plus there's a few random bits of concept art that gets shown, such as Ike/Mist/Soren/Elincia's clothes and the different layers, and a few CG's. There's also an interview in the back of the book. :> As you can tell, I managed to get a copy of the book on Ebay; I think I'm in love. XD Wish I could read japanese though, there's so much text on each of the characters! ;D Edited August 3, 2010 by Shadowknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thief Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Indeed. It's easily one of the best artbooks so far made for this series. If you are hellbent on printing, you can always wait for some kind soul with a scanner to scan the whole book and print your own copy anyway; new artworks or otherwise lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can find somewhere in Japan to drop the order off. If that's the case: I know some shopping services that will buy stuff for you that isn't available overseas. They take some comission fees though, it's probably something around 10%. Shipping is terribly expensive, though. I will definitely get this when I have some money left, but currently I'm broke. Bleh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you guys said it's pretty good, I would consider getting it, but how about a few sample pages for us to see? It would make it easier for me to decide on my purchase. Oh and what version of the FE4 art do they use? I don't think there is official art for the second generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
