About the New Art Book!

Wait what. New artbook? With minion? I have heard nothing about this at all anywhere. What is this and when did it come out?

Obviously something you bought from Japan would be in Japanese... I was referring to the ones purchased on the SE store which is where I've got mine (except for one at Fanfest I believe). I should have specified though.

In the new artbook, you see a new design (looks like uniform/school outfit) it says its designed by Tataru and made by Rowena. Could this outfit be the one that we will receive from Tataru? I want to share the picture, but not sure if its allowed.

Its called the Scion Adventurer's Jacket

Obviously? no. The first two artbooks are bilingual and identical regardless or purchase location. Scars is not. With AmazonJP usually being way cheaper than other purchase options it's fair warning if you can't read Japanese.

Yes, this is the point. With the last two art books, regardless of whether or not you purchased it from the SE store or Amazon.jp/amiami or whatever, the contents inside were identical bar the ISBN etc. Art of Ishgard Scars of War is -not- the same. There is the usual titles/names in English but with 6 pages of Japanese, those are translated in the NA/EU versions.

I bought mine in store. I was going to wait and not get it straight away, but then it was staring me in the face and I couldn't help myself. I can put up with the last few pages being in Japanese for the ease at which I obtained it ^.^
