Hi there, Are there any people here who collect strategy guides for Japanese SFC games? (dragon quest, final fantasy, etc?) I have a small collection so far, but I am always looking for more (I have I think all of the Romancing SaGa series guides) No, I can't read much Japanese, but it's always fun to look at the beautiful art and maps and things.  |

If someone would make some that would translate the game I sure would. My Japanese skills are not very good... and since I've been working a "real job", they have gotten ever worse. I usually only get the guidees for long games where I might need the maps... since I don't have a lot of time to play at once, I sometimes forget where I was and where I was going when I finally get to sit down with a game again.

Well i like artbooks, altough I dont have too much (like 15). And one of them also has some Strategy Tips for the game (It's an obscure jap pc-game though). Usually I dont go for strategy guides and try to play the game for myself (or consult gamefaqs when i'm stuck  ) |

I have a few that I have picked up - I have the Japanese guides for Brigandine, Brigandine Grand Edition and Nectaris. (Not SFC I know, but I doubt it makes a whole lot of difference for this discussion.)

As far as I'm aware and based on my observations of other people's game/game-related item collections (the ones that publicise it anyway), I probably have the largest Japanese game guide book collection in a non-Japan country.
Some people specialise in hunting down select super rare items, some people have for example Super Famicom full sets or full sets in general (Adol etc... or to be more precise, formerly Adol since he sold it, for real this time), and some people have big game music CD album collections. Me? I have a Japanese game guide book library. That's library without quotes because I'm not exaggerating: I have a nutsload of books.
Anyway, I specify "non-Japan country" because it is easy for a resident of Japan to acquire Japanese game guide books: just walk into a brick-and-mortar store and go on a buying spree. The rest of us have to import it. Books are heavy which means the shipping costs are massive. That's also one reason why few people have a significant quantity of Japanese game guide books in their collections. The other is of course most people don't understand the language.
