Great looking book

A little bit on the smaller side with just under 200 pages but each one is gorgeously laid out with artwork, text, designer notes, etc, etc. The front cover looks amazing especially the few glossy pixelated blocks they added. That was a nice touch. The quality of the paper inside is really nice as well, each page has a certain weight to it, which I love in artbooks like these.

Careful! This is a book and (not) a dedicated Art Book!

This is more like a hybrid of a guide and art-ish book. For what this is, is very good in quality and paper. I have this and the Bravely Default as coffee table books on display for my guests. But what really ticked me off is they do a good job looking into the levels of the world until the very endgame. It's like, "Enjoy the majority of the game but tee hee! We can't show you anything of the endgame or the characters that came appeared!". I assume most who buy this book have already played the game to the main endings so why not show that too. There are just a few pages that are blurred out in static. Strange decision to me. I admit that I really wanted to read what they might have to said about the endgame. Feelsbadman :( That's the main reason I took two stars off the score.
So if you don't have that hang-up, I say this is still a buy but maybe on sale if you are a lover of Neir: Automata!

Not an artbook, not a strategy guide...it is a world guide, exactly as stated.

Much in the same vein that Nier: Automata is an interesting blend of gaming genres, this book is a mash up of different print media we generally see in gaming.
Part artbook, part strategy guide, and part narrative lore expansion, the World Guide has a nice little mix of everything. That said, this book is predominately an artbook akin to Nier being predominately an action RPG. At about 180 pages long, the hardbound volume consists of character art, scenic portraits, maps, screenshots, and narrative. It's really interesting.
I have to say, having purchased other localized gaming artbooks, every one of these sorts of English editions gives me strategy guide vibes. I think that's just an issue with me, as I used to purchase guides back in the day since most artbooks were never localized. My brain just correlates English text and gaming imagery with a strategy guide. I have seen videos of the Japanese edition of this book and it appears to be a 1:1 localization, from an aesthetic perspective. It also looks like the Japanese version has a softcover to boot.
Recommended for Nier fans.

Watched my friends play Neir Automata then I started to play Neir Automata then I was like “I like the way these characters and world are designed” so I got this book. Came in on time yesterday. I’d give 5 stars but the spine of the book came in damaged a bit. There was no package bubbles from keeping the book from moving inside the box they delivered. It’s okay it’s just a small dent. I can live with it, you know? Here’s a few pictures of the book to get a general idea about it. I love that it’s a hardcover book and god bless Dark Horse for making them. It feels nice and smooth and I just can’t enough out of it!

Buyer Beware: This is not a full fledged art book
3 June 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I would have loved a book full of character and mechanical concept art. Sadly this isn't that. It's filled with in-game stills and in-game maps. Part game guide, part art book; not enough of either.
