Suzaku Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 It has all the GG2 art you could want of every character and their servants. Also for each character they have a single piece/page of new art showing that character in some sort of scene, with a page of text beside it detailing some kind of story/backstory I believe. Oh, I desperately want scans. It's basically a fully colored version of that black and white sketch you see on the lower left of the pic I posted. It's a picture from the past of scientist Frederick, scientist Aria/Justice, and scientist That Man (sans the robes) Sounds familiar.
Akselziys Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Yeah, seems each pic is accompanied by a short story of some sort. For instance, Sol's main pic is of: *Spoilers* Ky giving kid Sin away to Sol, which has a page worth of text/story detailing it. And each character has a similar sort of pic and story. In the case of the "Scientist" pic, it fully shows the entire body and face of Sol, Justice (Aria?), and That Man, except for you can't see That Man's eyes (probably to leave a little bit of mystery hehe)
Zazz Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 well i preordered GG2 on friday so whenever gamestop calls me up about it, i'll head on over and pick it up as for the conversation on hand: SCANZ PLZ
Suzaku Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Yeah, a quick glance at some Japanese blogs/forums gave me a very basic understanding of what was in the book, but unforunately, nobody has posted much in the way of details, and it's hard to guage what's just theory or fanfiction ideas.
Lou_Cypher Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Wait, so Aria is Justice? I thought it was left intentionally vague.... Anything about Ky's wife? Or extra information on That Man and Raven?
Akselziys Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Yeah, it's Justice Aria is just conjecture Ky's wife, I didn't see anything, Raven has his own art piece + a short story, and That Man kinda has the same if you count the scientist pic and the story that goes with it
Blade Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..... This makes me wonder at the picture Axl refers to regarding Sol as a kid...
Vrakanox Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 well i preordered GG2 on friday so whenever gamestop calls me up about it, i'll head on over and pick it up as for the conversation on hand: SCANZ PLZ I pre-ordered mine through gamestop also, glad im not the only one. I wonder when Raven will be available for downloadable content.
Sephi_hatu Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Justice is Aria. Sol is Frederick. Those 2 and That Man were scientists on the gear project. That Man turned Aria into a gear, brainwashing her, destroying any of her past self. This enrages Sol who loved her, leading him to want to kill That Man. Of course, none of that is confirmed. Its just pure conjecture.

Its just pure conjecture. yeah i find Sol hating That Man for the reason of "you made me kill the lady i loved on two nonconsecutive occasions!" much more believable than the "you used my research to wreck the world." also it explains Sol sparing Justice the first time he took her out at the end of the Crusades. and him praying for her soul after really killing her in GG1. of course Blade said in another thread that Valentine mentions that Aria is still active in the world somehow, which if all this fits together, means she finally got her "Geese Howard 'Get out of Death Free' Card." No fighting game boss is complete without it. As for Kliff, he's still dead. Long story short: I want to see that art so I can draw more fan art.
Blade Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Of course, none of that is confirmed. Its just pure conjecture. Quoted for TRUUUUUUUUTH. Zazz, stop spreading rumors!
Zazz Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Zazz, stop spreading rumors! yeah it none of its confirmed or even suggested, but . . . This is the truth in my heart! *cinematic flock of doves fly by*
Sephi_hatu Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Im just connecting the dots. Its what makes sense. Its all very 'Lost' if you will. There's all these story points scattered about various forms of media, and they all relate to each other in some way. Mostly. I swear, they decided to tell the story in the worst possible manner (drama CDs, manga, books, the only thing getting english translated being the crappy #reload story mode).
Blade Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 We'll know more when it hits stateside...till then I ain't guessing anything.
Raging Tofu Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I have the GG2 MC book too. Scanning it right now. My speculations for the stories, not much, but I'll have more once I get time to work on translating it. EDIT: Initial batch of scans on my LJ. More later.
DonMungMung Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Sol's eyes are rainbows, I swear to god. Anyways, this pretty much confirms that I gotta get the Materials Collection book now. Damnit, it's like, gonna be $50 bucks with shippin' TT_TT But thanks for the lovely scans Tofu~ <3 Holy shit, this game was out yesterday, right? Man, I completely forgot to pick it up (and a 360, for that matter). For the people who got it, how's the voice acting/localization so far? Any noticeable changes from the demo or Japanese versions? EDIT: Damn, Valentine's tits are pretty big, aren't they? And I wanna cosplay Ky's Holy Order outfit in that artbook
Chuchulachu Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Gamestop and IGN both say the game doesn't release till next week
sweetvids Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 It comes out next week. Don't expect sales to be big though. I might pick it up. But sure as hell not for 60$ though. Not weaboo enough. :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:
Zazz Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 these arts look great That Man looks like Near from Death Note. Dr. P's fairy helpers are cute. Also those sketches of Ky's wife, she's wearing a nice dress. Also next to her partially evaporated legs looks like a partially evaporated tail.
DonMungMung Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 :0 I thought it was supposed to be out September 30th? Well, good news for me then; I can at least pre-order it (hopefully) and get that 360 afterwards hahahaha. God, why is that Materials Collection book so elusive and expensive EDIT: ANIMEBOOKS.COM IS PLANNING ON GETTING IT YESSSSSSSS

And I wanna cosplay Ky's Holy Order outfit in that artbook Yeah, it comes to about that after shipping. You're welcome. I'll get more scans done tomorrow and during the weekend. I'm totally adding Sol's new outfits to my cosplay list >3 That Man looks like Near from Death Note. Huh, you're right, it kind of does. Along with what Akselziys mentioned, there's also the sketch art for backgrounds and locations, details (like the glyphs under the characters, variations of what Ky's cross would look like, etc) and a 50 question interview with Ishiwatari-san. Oh, and the character sections include what they say for certain things (attacks, hits, etc)... I'm sure you'd be interested in this for your database, wouldn't you Blade?
