PSO Art Books (Japan)

[Frog]

I just bought this awesome artbook off ebay a few weeks ago for $15. Are there any others that I can try to find for PSO Episodes 1,2,3, or 4?

It's called "Book of Hunters"

Not sure about other books, but I, too, have The Book of Hunters. Pretty cool.

There's an Ep1&2 artbook as well, and a small EpIII/EpIV artbook with card images from EpIII and some concept/weapon art + some of the manga from the website from EpIV that came packaged with the PSU artbook.

I own both, as well as the Book of Hunters. Ep1&2 is worth getting. Ep3&4 only if you're a completist or want the PSU book as well.

Do you have an cover-art for these?
How about titles so I can be on the lookout for them?

I've got the Ep1&2 artbook and it's pretty nice. I wish it had more weapons artwork but it was still worth it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Can you post a pic of the cover and what the title of it is? I'd love to hunt it down if it is anything like the "Book of Hunters" artbook that I posted above.

I'll do you one better, I'll post a link to the place I bought it from that has a large image of the cover as well as a few pages from the book.

Phantasy Star Online 1&2 Design and Material Collection. (http://www.animebooks.com/phanstaron12.html)

It really is pretty nice and it does include some decent Ep.2 stuff.

Lucky bumfret

[DC_PLAYER]

[TsukasaDCX]

Oh yeah
I wanna see the Ep1&2
I can't find it on eBay

[AlexCraig]

Cool stuff! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.



And get it before Tsukasa http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif Just kidding

Wow, the PSO artbook rose by $11 the last time I checked.

The PSU/BB and Ep.III artbooks are really quite nice, in my opinion. BB's artbook has the illustration(s) for practically every BB weapon, a few mags and shields, the scenery, and every monster (almost; the only ones they leave out are unneccessary).

Ep. III features every card picture that doesn't include Mags, Shields, Enemies, Weapons, and it even displays some of the unused cards in the final game. There are no notes on the bosses, or any real notes on the characters, either. It also features a timeline of PSO and detailed information about each side (Arkz/Hunters)

PSU was rather disappointing...I never played it, but it has an array of clothing, NPCs, monsters, generic weapon notes, and detailed information and illustrations on the Main and Secendary Characters.

It costs a pretty penny, though.

But it's quite worth it, for someone who draws and makes props off those things ^_^ PSO's artbook is superb, as well.

[TsukasaDCX]

Playasia is pretty sweet

[TsukasaDCX]

Is this the PSO Ep12 artbook?

That is indeed the art book. I have that one. You should grab it while you can.

[TsukasaDCX]

Aaaaalrighty

[Eihwaz]

I really want to get a copy of the Book of Hunters. Is it difficult to get at a reasonable price, or what?

I also wouldn't mind getting the Episode II one as well...

[AlexCraig]

I got mine at a fair price. $34.95

[Frog]

I recently purchased the PSO Episodes1&2 artbook for $39 + 15 shipping from Japan. There is another up on Ebay right now for the same price...

It is copyrighted material so scanning and uploading a pdf file would not only be illegal it is against the forum rules.

If it is posted on a 3rd party website, its none of your concern. . . unless the link is posted on this site, on the forms.
