How are the Episode 3 artbooks and guidebooks?

[Arislan]

The Blue Soft Bank Strategy Guide isn't bad, assuming you can read it, has quite a bit of useful information of it (most of which is already transliterated and scattered around on guides on the site). Haven't seen an artbook available in stores, but then, I haven't really been looking specifically for one, so it wouldn't surprise me if one slipped in.

I *heart* artbooks.
Would someone give me information on if there exist one? Not guidebooks, but more like the EP I and II artbooks, with background informations, deign works. That sort of things. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Check http://books.softbank.co.jp

Softbank publishes some of the best artbooks around.
About the EP 3 artbook, their website doesn't say if any have been released yet.

Now is out only 2 guidebooks not artbook for now.
You can also look ep 3 sega site for info.

No artbooks yet planned. It'll come out soon, hopefully.

Are the artbooks of PSO Episode I and II different, I got the artbook with all the male characters with Rico and on the other side with all the female characters with Flowen. I saw 'Book of Hunters' and wondering if there are more stuff in there?

Nope, there's different stuff, but not more by any means.

Book of Hunters is the older PSO artbook. It features the Dreamcast PSO, but in comparison,
there are only a few items in it that the PSO Ep 1&2 Materials Collection does not have.

- older conceptual artwork including stuff on the experimental HUMarl, HUNewm (Most of which is in the other book already)
- An explanation that the Shirren Type 386 (PSIII's Wren)Android was considered as an NPC in PSO.
- and older interview of Sonic Team (in Japanese)
- A short story by a group of fans and listing of a few fanworks websites. (Also all in Japanese)

Not much you're missing, unless you're a collector like me and have to have most if not all rare stuff
from PSO. ^_^
