How is the Ibara Arcadia booklet?

Post by Carmen »

I've been looking for the game and its quite hard to find with it! Even sealed copies, not many still have the Arcadia booklet that was packaged with it. So for those in the know, is it worth taking the time to look for a copy w/ the booklet, or is it something worth passing on? What is in it, even? :?

It has a bunch of character and concept art from the game, what's probably story info, and gameplay strategy stuff. If you can read Japanese it may be neat to track down, otherwise it's just a nice little novelty.

You can't find any kind of information on this booklet that you con't find on this forum, I have it. The "Lunatic Ibara" superplay dvd booklet is much more interesting, and it contains almost all the informazion you need to know about the game, including each enemy bullet/bomb score.

If you like the game, buy it even without the arcadia booklet, it also isn't gorgeous, it's a little bunch of coloured pages.

Save your money for the DVD :)

the arcadia booklet was only shipped with a limited number of the first run so it's (very) limited edition. i just browsed my arcadia booklet again and i agree with stratos, go for the insanity naked hunter: lunatic ibara appreciate dvd. lunatic comes with a thick booklet which contains all the info that's in the arcadia strategy guide and way, way more! so pick up ibara, buy the dvd.
