i bought the limited edition guide off gamestop.com =[ it was 30 something dollars as well. but its worth it the limited edition. it has a seperate book that has pictures of characters weapons and stuff.
Just got it in the mail. Here are some stats:
It comes in a nice folder case, which both books have nice sleeves for each. The art book has both in-game and hand-drawn pictures. Un-numbered pages, can't tell you how many.
The strategy guide is AWESOME! Has all summons, locations, and quests. All side-quests are in the back. All weapons, items, etc. Very detailed battle description. About 350 pages.
All together, weighs roughly 3 lbs.
Im not surprised the guide is so fat, the game is massive, I have barely touched the side-quests, extra bosses etc.
Still, only losers buy the strategy guides, who likes being told what to do
in a game ? I sure dont.

And others, like myself, use it after we do a first run or when we get stuck. With the LE Book, you buy it now, or never.Quote:

What characters do we start with?
It's sitting infront of me, but I'm not sure if I should"open" it.
I was going to simply breeze through it without bending the pages at the binding, but its all wrapped in plastic, which would drastically increase the price on ebay in the future. ;o
But it's got an art book :o It wants you to open it. It calls to you!
What is in the art book? Are they just collections of pictures released to the public already, and can be found anywhere across the Internet, or are there like actual images never seen before?Quote:

If you have any questions you can ask.
Bottom Line ... is it worth it? I know some strat guides are garbage, but what about this one? Good layout, easy to read, and full of detail?Quote:
