Xenoblade art book

[Godot102]

There is a rumor going around that Gamestop is running out of artbooks for Xenoblade. I highly recommend that people go check their preorder details either at the store or online to see if you are getting the artbook. It will probably say something along the lines of "premium for Xenoblade". I just checked my order and thankfully both the game and the premium were listed.

I pre-ordered back in December. You can bet there's gonna be hell if I don't get my artbook.

Or you know, I'll go check to make sure because it's just an artbook.

EDIT: If this was soundtrack, then yeah I'd definitely make sure I still get mine.

It's pretty simple. I'm going to be in the city early next Friday to pick up my pre-order anyway because that is also when PAX East opens.

I sure as hell had better get an artbook. I pre-ordered the first day the game was available for pre-order, and I will be one of the first people at the store to pick up the game.

I pre-ordered my copy awhile ago I better get my artbook.

I heard that the cutoff was march 26th but I'm not entirely sure if its true. So in theory, if you preordered before that date you should get the preorder bonus!

My Gamestop only got one art book in. I was the first preorder and first one to come get my game so I got the only one. Seems it was very limited.

I got the art book. Now at PAX East.

I got mine *whew*

The book is made of pretty sturdy cardstock. It's actually a lot nicer than I thought it was going to be. I would have liked to see some more images like on the front of the cover, but most of them look like they were taken directly out of the gameplay. I took the liberty of taking some pictures. Hope nobody minds.

Here's the book:


Kinda hard to tell, but the figures are embossed.


You can really tell on the back of the cover:

Book has some nice little touches. These are on the right corners of all the spread pages. You can't see them unless the light hits them just right:

As I said in the other thread, I knew nothing of the art book until today. I picked up my copy of the game after work, but the clerk didn't give me the art book. So after finding out about it in the other thread, I called the store up. The clerk apologized and said he'll put it aside and I can pick it up whenever. Long story short, I just shot down there and picked it up.

The point of the story is, you might have to actually ask for it!
