XENOBLADE CHRONICLES: THE SECRET FILE - MONADO ARCHIVES (ARTBOOK VO JAPONAIS)

This book is amazing. Softcover, and with Japanese text of course. It's basically the Xenoblade equivalent to Xenogears Perfect Works, though it doesn't seem quite as packed full of info (but this is hard to say as I can not read any of it). The book has a foldout poster, official art of all the main characters, event & location art, early character sketches, some funny pics (like Fiora and Melia in bikinis or the party in tuxedos and dresses) but where the book really shines is the the mech designs. The designs themselves are so unique and unlike any other giant robots in any other series. The book goes into a lot of detail on the mechs, showing how they move, their propulsion systems, weapons and more. If you're a Xenoblade fan, don't hesitate, pick this up, it will amaze you. If you're worried about not being able to read it, don't worry, there's plenty of enjoyment in the art alone.

Even if you cannot read Japanese there is still enough info through the concept sketches to get a rough idea of what was going on during the game's development. I would highly recommend this for any in Japan. As for we who are outside of Japan well it is still a great art book.

Bought it as a gift to a friend. Its a pretty big book and has a lot of art in it. Its also all in japanese so if you cant read it you lose a lot of the insight written for each character. However, illustrations are well drawn and for someone who likes xenoblade and is also likes anime (like most xenoblade fans) it has really good novelty and a great gift. Came in good condition.

Fantastic artbook. Great for collectors. It's written in Japanese, with a few direct translations. It has a bit over 250 pages, lots of images. Really fun to look at (mainly because I can't read Japanese). The booklet has concept art for the game, along with information about characters. It should go without saying that it would be good idea to finish the game first, because the book contains many spoilers spoilers in pictures and most likely in text also. Would recommend for collectors.

Amazing artbook! If you are a huge fan of the game series, I recommend it 100%. Bought it as a Christmas gift, and it did not disappoint. The major problem with buying Japanese artbooks, untranslated, is that they usually have a lot of interviews and general text that, unless you can read and translate Japanese with ease, is pretty useless to most (That's one reason I was very disappointed with the Nier artbook, way too much text). What's nice is that this book, while it still has lots of interviews/text, it is filled with concept art, weapons art, backgrounds, etc. It's a very thick book, and is filled with lots of goodies.

It's a very interesting book that's fun to look at the various pages. However, calling it an art book is an extreme understatement. It contains not only the affinity chart for every NPC (Non-player character) in the game, it contains biographies for each and data/commentary on almost every detail of the game. Unfortunately, the entire book is in Japanese and the lone translator I've used isn't that great. Overall though, it's a great book and I'd recommend it to fellow 'xenoblade chronicles' fans, doubly so if they want to put in some effort in translating the book.

Such an amazing book filled with information about the world of Xenoblade Chronicles! Such as: storyboards, concept art, interview quotes and so much more. Even if you don't understand Japanese words it's fine, just by looking at the artwork the fold-out poster and the amount of detail in this book you'd won't care. I had such a joy reading this book i'd highly recommend it to any hardcore Xenoblade fan or heck any book fan in general

Fantastic, beautiful book. If you loved the game, i strongly recommended this book. Even if you cant read Japanese( which I cannot, i just use an app, take a picture, and translate the words) it is amazing. Comes with a completely affinity chart and amazing character description and background of you didn’t already know.

Ótimo livro. Chegou tudo em ótimo estado.

No me esperaba la cantidad de contenido que tiene este libro. Es una pasada.

Merci

As this is the first game in the Xenoblade series, there are some shortcomings compared to later series, but I enjoyed the game and bought it because I liked its unique background illustrations.

Llego rápido y en buen estado, sin duda una buena compra :')
