GRIMOIRE NieR -Project Gestalt & Replicant System- (Japanese Import)

The Grimoire NieR is exactly what I expected, but if you're looking for your standard game art book, this is not it. The book does feature a lot of art and concept work, but commentary is entirely in Japanese and there's more text and short story than art. Translations do exist online if you're curious though. So if you're interested in NieR and don't mind this, then I definitely suggest picking up a copy.

This book is awesome. It is much more dense than I thought it would be, and includes a ton of stories that take place well before the game. It is also filled with amazing looking art. My only gripe is that they gave such a nice book a soft cover, instead of a hard one. As a warning, if you do not read Japanese, be warned that the reading is almost entirely Japanese, and you should only purchase this book for the art.

This book is not quite what I expected, but, I am not disappointed. How could I be? It's more Nier, the more the better. This is a mixture between official finished art pieces, concept art, strategy guide, and interviews. My only regret is that I can't read Japanese because the book is entirely written in it and I have no clue what anything says. I went in expecting that so I'm not too bummed, but overall this was a great purchase, I highly recommend it to any Nier fan.

100% a must-have if you're a Nier fan! Even if it is mostly in Japanese, the illustrations are beautiful and I love seeing the concepts from old iterations of the game. If you're interested, most all of the short stories have been translated and posted online so you can find them with a quick google search. A wonderful addition to any artbook collection!

This is a gorgeous artbook that is a perfect addition for any fans of Nier. Get it if you're on the fence even if you don't know Japanese like me you can enjoy the glorious art.

For everyone who enjoyed the original Gestalt or Replicant game, this artbook delves into the mythology of the NieR Project. Normally a high level of japanese is required to understand the interviews and developper's easter eggs, but there's a translation on the internet detailing everything you need to know about the book's contents, cut content etc. Otherwise you've got concept arts of the main protagonists, a detailed walkthrough of every place, weapons, ennemies. Overall a beautiful and complete artbook and guide.

Everything came in excellent condition with protection sleeves!

I am seriously in love with the series. Although the book is written in Japanese, I'm still able to enjoy this book. There's a lot of screenshots and drawings included which I found to be amazing. :) If you are a major fan of NieR, I highly recommend this!
