    linky

    a translation of the Japanese Dark Souls 2 site , seems to be a good bit of information on it , but nothing too revealing for those who want nothing ruined for them

    edit: there is a bit about the new covenants at the bottom if you want to avoid it

    i just pre ordered the guide off amazon link

    19.99 sterling, a bit dearer than $19.99 off amazon.com but for 400 pages hardback i think it's a good deal, plus Epicnamebro was involved in the making of it and I love his youtube videos.

    So just to reiterate, what are people doing for pre-orders?

    Amazon won't get it to me by the Friday.

    Gamestop might but 60 blips.

    Gamesnash don't spepar to have it in stock.

    Don't know the story with HMV.


    EDIT: Guide is also on bookdepository.co.uk for 23e delivered.

    Would you not just use a wiki for free?

    Christ no.

    400 pages and Hardback.

    If you want it you have to buy it seperately.

    Bought the Dark Souls one last time and it was a lovely piece of work.

    Ok. In that case I wonder if art images used in both guide and artbook, are going to be much different.

    I'm sure they hold stuff back for the inevitable Dark Souls 2 artbook.


    I have the Dark Souls guide and the Design Works book for the first game. Design works art was more about early sketches and concepts rather than finished articles.

    Looks all very familiar (in a good way!) Whoever is playing needs to learn how the stamina bar works though :/
