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

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.

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.

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.

I ​need to learn Japanese... Other than the fact that this book is in Japanese, it is wonderful. The art is the reason I bought this, and I wasn't disappointed. I love Nier so much, if you are a fan with a bit of cash, or you speak Japanese, you should get this. You can find the translation online to help you understand the guide and story extras at the end. In short, this is a great book.

Warning - This is in Japanese.Art book and guide for NieR video game. This book contains a lot of content that is not in the game. This includes what happened between the events of Drakengard 1 and NieR. Find out why the world is in such disrepair. What are the shades? Why are they attacking? Can the world be saved? This information is only hinted at in NieR. Get the whole story.

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.

This is a gorgeous artbook that is a perfect addition for any fans of Nier. Get it if you're on the fence even if you don't know Japanese like me you can enjoy the glorious 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!

must have für fans - das authentische flair ist von erkiesener faszination

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

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.
