Hehe at least you got the wonderful artbook! The perfect artbook finally got it and it sure is heavy and thick! Anyway I'm broke now too so I can't get the memorial works yet... I need to hurry and get it before it runs out. Also too busy with classes lately too so can't fully enjoy the book yet. And geez... I also want to get the Ar tonelico artbook.

[SakiChan]

So..which book would people recommend more?The Premium Artbook or the Memorial Works? Is there anything exclusive to both of them?

[Nash]

The Memorial Works is gorgeous... ;___;

I can't find the Premium Artbook...

[Enternal]

Well the Perfect Book is gorgeous for me because I haven't gotten the Memorial Works yet. I NEED to get it soon...

Ah and since the book is here and all, I am going to have to take some pictures of the arts that might not have been online for SakiChan but I'm so busy so please wait a bit longer! Also it's kind of hard to open the book because I'm so scared of ruining it. It's such a wonderful book afterall...

P-please don't stress yourself and of course don't ruin the book just 'cause of a few pics! It has to stay wonderful forever!

Depends on what you're looking for! If you're looking for just plain art, go for the artbook. If you like reading about the setting and the characters and concepts and whatnot, go for the Memorial Book, since it's pretty much the Arland Settei book in a way. There's plenty of stuff exclusive really, the art is obviously bigger in the artbook, and there's a lot of information in the Memorial book that's not in the artbook, etc.

I just got both the premium artbook and the memorial works. They are both amazing!

If you mainly want arts and pretty pictures, go for the artbook. It also contains all the in-game event pictures and each picture is amost full size on a page.

The memorial works is nice too. I'm sure it contains some good information and things, but I can't read Japanese... Maybe some day I should scan some of the pages and see if anyone here could translate them.

They finally restocked the artbook at the store... now I'm debating whether I should get it or otherwise.

Does anyone know what NISA's release date for this is? Last I checked it still said "Spring 2012".

Actually, I think it's somewhere around June, what with Play-Asia haven't the slightest clue when it'll be out...

I'm starting to think it's going to get delayed With no set release date only two months out and all.

NISA released this a while back (Jan 13) in their Prinny Bomb: http://nisamerica.com/nart/pbombs/2012/ ... inalpb.pdf

It claims it's May 2012, but if it does get pushed back, I guess there is a possibility that it could be June. But they haven't said otherwise since this was released, so I guess it's still safe to assume they're aiming for a May release...

[Nash]

To avoid Neptunia mk2 like disappointment, I'm going to have to grab this lightning fast...

[Rarutos]

I'm not sure where the doubt of the release date is suddenly coming from, but it's definitely in May! They've been updating the official site periodically for a while now. I doubt it's been delayed. NISA hasn't really delayed a release like this for a while now. (Not counting Cave Story 3D, I think they delayed that on purpose according to a Silioconera interview...)

Okay, then I guess May it was (not-counting Play-Asia, who took at least three days to stock these...). Now, I doubt it'll be delayed. Not after all the titles they've translated so far, at least.

[Nash]

The Premium Artbook goes for 20% discount... and I failed to resist the evilevilevil temptations...

Too bad I didn't wait to get the Memorial Works... as it's also discounted...

[Eleinia]

20% discount on this artbook... it's wrong to even try to resist!

[Nash]

I hope AP14 isn't an Arland title though... because if it is, then they may decide to produce new ones covering all the four alchemists later.

[Eleinia]

When you put it that way, I gotta agree.

But I personally think the chance of it being an Arland series is pretty small.
