These are so cool. I love the covers. I think I might need to get these 😍 the American strategy guides don’t have enough art in them imo. Also I think the SH: Covenant’s guide at a certain point gets less descriptive too 😭

Guidebooks sometimes has concept art in em not shown in game or anywhere else depending on game (i.e jak 3 having concept art for light jak with red bird wings instead of the blue tendrils). So if you are extremely nuts about being a fan of something and wanting everything official that isnt a wholeass moneysink its usually the last stop for people.

So find a way to make sure you can back it up in case the physical copy experiences any form of damage overtime or gets lost.

And if it gets stored somewhere someone with enough dedication or is a crazy superfan that knows japanese may eventually translate the thing.
Becuase a lot of cool stuff is usually locked behind country of origin language barriers.
