Does anyone have Xenogears - Perfect Works?

I really want to get this but it's expensive and only available through eBay as far as I know.

It looks like there are a few copies available on Yahoo Japan. Still fairly expensive, though.

Yes. It's on the floor by the table with the TV in Magus' room now.

There's a little bit of crap on the cover, but it's otherwise in rather good condition if I remember correctly.

WHO WANTS T' KNOW?

I bought both the Xenogears, SaGa Frontier 2, and Front Mission 3 ones from a street vendor in Japan. They're not great (mainly because I can't read them). It's really a collection of generic anime artwork and timelines and stuff. I guess if you're a serious collector you'll enjoy it.

Is it in English? I always wanted to get it, but I was afraid that it was only in japanese. Highwind, good luck finding it. I know it is too expensive for me.

Sadly, the best parts are also the fewest. There's a section that essentially like a working sketches of all the characters that's really coo - including goofy stuff, too, like a sketch that I THINK draws the similarities between Fei and Dan Hibiki - as well as some gear designs, but mostly it's storyboards and interviews that I can't read. I haven't seriously tried to read it again since I've learned what little Japanese I have, but I doubt things'll be much different.

I guess Japan learned how precious these books would be. That must be why the Advent Children art book is in Japanese AND English.

Yes, I got it. The best part is all the artwork.

If you wanna read what all that moon language says I'm sure there are translations available at various fan sites.

There was a site that had all the goodies translated, but it's gone now. The timeline was interesting.

would it still be on archive.org?

I'unno.

My friend has it. He can read Japanese. He says there are a lot of interesting things with the timeline of the series. It really paints the picture of where the series SHOULD have gone. ( or come from, rather )

Re: Does anyone have Xenogears - Perfect Works?

Really, the game stayed true to the timeline. It just had to leave out lots of details.

My friend has it. He can read Japanese.

Is he Japanese? Korean? Weaboo?

Re: Does anyone have Xenogears - Perfect Works?

No, it's just incredibly easy for everyone other than you to read Japanese.

Everyone can read japanese, no prob. This letter here looks like a "T" and that kinda looks like an "E"... on second thought, this isn't going to work out.
