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

Great book. As described. No damages. Recommended.

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.

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 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.

Everything came in excellent condition with protection sleeves!

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.

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!

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.

Si eres fan de NieR este libro es para ti, aunque está en japonés

Super beautiful artwork in this book and a lot of other good stuff as well! It is in Japanese so being able to read quite a bit is necessary.

It's almost entirely in Japanese, but there is a fairly comprehensive fan translation you can find easily online. The book itself is of very high quality in terms of paper material as well as the artwork, the latter of which is gorgeous. If you are a fan of NieR, I highly recommend this book. It goes beyond that of a guide, and includes additional side stories and lore not found in the game.

Magnifique ouvrage, 224 pages très bien illustrées, le livre de découpe de la manière suivante : 11 pages de artwork plein format. 22 pages sur les personnages (avec des anecdotes sympathiques par-ci par-là ^^) 36 pages focalisées sur l'histoire (scène par scène, nous avons le point de vue de NieR, de Kainé et parfois des Gestalt) 72 pages de stratégies (Attaque de chaque arme, point de Spawn de certains items, points faibles des boss, liste des quêtes et beaucoup d'autres détails) 12 pages de concept art (magnifique ! Une des plus belles parties de l'ouvrage) 4 pages qui synthétise l'histoire, notamment la chronologie du projet Gestalt/Replicant 14 pages sur les armes du jeu et leur back story 5 pages d'interview avec les créateurs du jeu Et enfin pour finir, 32 pages de courtes histoires inédites ajoutant encore au monde de NieR et tissant un peu plus les liens entre NieR et Drakengard. J'ai omis encore quelques petites surprises par-ci par-là ^^ Ps: J'ai acheté chez le vendeur arumo pour 19.90 € et je vous conseille de faire pareil : Livraison en 15 jours, emballage impeccable, le livre est presque comme neuf !

本の題名がまぎらわしいですが、内容は「ニーアレプリカント」と「ニーア ゲシュタルト」の為のものです。 どういうことかと言うと、「ニーア ゲシュタルト」では主人公の立場がヒロインの父親で「レプリカント」は兄になっている為、主人公のキャラクターやセリフなどが違いますが、基本的なゲーム内容は同じだからです。 この本を読んだことで、ゲーム内で明かされている設定が全体のごく一部であることが分かりました。 詳細な世界観やストーリーやクエストの攻略、設定資料、開発スタッフの対談など内容も充実しています。 特にA〜Dエンディングまでの条件が掲載されているのが助かりました。おそらく、この本を読まなければ全てのエンディングを見ようとすら思わなかったと思います。 Dエンディング後を描いた短編（通称 Eエンド）については、実際に読んでみるとその重要性が分かるというか、AからEエンドまで通して見ることで「ニーアレプリカント」というストーリーが本当に完結すると言えるような内容になっています。 ニーアレプリカントを好きなら買って損はないと思いますし、ぜひ読んでもらいたいと思います。 それに各エンディングについて、あえて具体的な内容を書いていないところも開発スタッフのこだわりを感じました。 さて、これで心置きなく続編の「オートマタ」をプレイすることができそうです。
