BlazBlue Materials Art Book

Posted by nattoli [www] 

I normally don't purchase game books, but the exception is definitely BlazBlue Materials Art Book. I was sad to have missed the pre-order book that came with the game, so I was thrilled to find out they were finally coming out with an official art book.

Each of the playable characters is presented with their profile image, their additional poses from the in-game stills, concept art (and some of it is really out there), the CG scenes from their story line, and finally a brand new character illustration.

A lot of the art in the book looks anything but official, but it is, they just had a lot of artists doing promotional art work for the game.

I don't know if you've seen them, but tele-cards are hilariously overpriced calling cards that usually have an exclusive illustration on them. So most people who buy them buy for the art work and not the phone calls ;D

So if you lived in Japan, you would have been lucky enough to have picked up one of these Rachel x Noel tele-cards depending on what store you bought your game from.

Don't you wish the rest of the world could get extras like that?

Here's one of the brand new character illustrations. There's one for each of the characters in the book. Anyone seen any figures of the characters yet?

Tager has the best portrait in the book in my opinion, even though he kinda sucks to play. I know someone out there has mastered him though ;D

It's a great book overall, and with any luck this might get published elsewhere, since BlazBlue popularity is worldwide! :D

    Tager has the best astral finish compared to all the other characters in the game.
