It really is. I wish I'd known about the original boxed edition with the All About Amano book, but I'm happy with the artbooks. That's a lot of Final Fantasy as is. I also own an original 1994 artbook of illustrations from Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI.
That surprises me a bit. Most of your favorite Final Fantasy characters were illustrated and designed by Mr. Amano.
That's mostly with the Nomura-illustrated PS1 games. The NES and SNES games featured Yoshitaka Amano's illustrations or sprites based on those. For the PS1, Amano's style was considered too delicate for the PS1's polygon graphics, so they went with Tetsuya Nomura instead.
It probably is, but not like the original super-deluxe edition. My wife found mine at a local Barnes & Noble. It's been on the market since June of last year, so it should be readily available.
I've seen it on Amazon for $57 on sale right now.
Not until the Internet infrastructure improves greatly. The Internet infrastructure in the United States is, by and large, garbage.
I'll pick up a Vita at some point. Has a lot of the niche titles I like, and I wouldn't mind having my digital PSP games on it. I just got the gold Zelda 3DSXL myself and have been having a blast on it.
Nice. Looks like the spambots plaguing 1UP in its last days have also followed us to Pixlbit. SMH.
It's better to sell your games yourself if you can. Gamestop is just there for convenience for folks that need fast cash or just want to dump their stuff off and get a few bucks for it. Of course, I tend to be the one adding the rare games to my collection rather than selling them, so I'm not too up on selling stuff on eBay or Amazon either.
Ken Levine overpromised a bit with Bioshock Infinite. I was kind of disappointed with the Boys of Silence, considering the plans they originally had, and I thought Columbia would be a bit less linear than it ended up being. Other than that, I really enjoyed Bioshock Infinite and its setting.
