The must have for the JRPG fan and gamer
An absolutely amazing book for any fan of video games, JRPGS, as well as the history around them and would recommend it for anyone interested in these topics. The book is broken up to different parts and aspects of each game as well as difference from each game and franchise. It covers things "attack and dethrone god" from the SMT series; as well as games from dragon quest, final fantasy, the tales of series and everything in-between. The book also covers first person dungeon crawlers from tactical. It's a must have for anyone interested and consider them a fan of Japanese Role Playing Games.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
