Xenogears Perfect Works - is this legit or not?

Where did you get it from? Locally or ebay?
 
I'm not an expert but many of the details match up, Digicube was a legit company, the ISBN matches the one on Amazon (it's even priced in yen, ya?) I know too for bootleg stuff they'll often be missing the finer details, and for CDs they'll even be stupid enough to say "Made in Taiwan" and produced by... (an outfit that can be googled as a pirater of music).

If you ever saw the ending video you'd know
they don't have genitals.
Kinda creepy!
 
Where did you pick it up o.o? The listings on Amazon are far out of my budget, but I'd like to get a copy of one of these if possible.
 
Definitely legit.

The "bookmark" is more of a tag that is occasionally removed by the store when new books are purchased for inventory purposes.

Pretty much every new book/manga I bought when I was living in Japan had one.
 
It's legit. The quality looks good, plus a bootleg wouldn't have the inventory slip, nor the DigiCube logo, for starters.

I traded my soul for it locally. And some old PS1/2 RPGs... I traded roughly $160 worth of stuff at current value but I paid $60 for all of those games back in the day.

Done.

I see... well, I guess it's a good thing that I didn't toss it out when I first got it. I thought it was a scrap of paper but then noticed it actually had some matching info on it.

Yeah. I can't read Japanese but you can download the translated version online. I just wanted The Real Thing (pun intended).:lol: I read parts of the translated version (it's 370 pages long so...) and decided I just wanted a legit copy since it was so damn interesting.

Oh yeah, it's in fantastic shape, which is the only reason I got it. I've seen copies go on eBay for ~$100 but those usually have a fair amount of wear on them.


Thanks guys. I just wanted to be sure since I've never owned a Japanese artbook before.
