Phantasy Star Official Production Compendium reprint

Basically the subject line. So far I can only find it on Amazon Japan, but still. This is a reprint of the Japanese art book from 1995, with plenty of artwork, concept art, a PSIV staff interview, setting info, and commentary. I imagine a lot of big fans already have this, or at least a PDF of it, but for anyone who missed it and didn't want to get some used one from somewhere, well, here's your chance.

Unfortunately, I can't post links or it would have been in the OP.

Sega is so cheap... to celebrate the 30th anniversary, they will do an expensive reprint...

True that the price is expensive BUT for those who absolutely want to have it in Japan, it could be great ! :) But maybe SEGA will make other things to bring a nice 30th birthday for this fantastic serie ? :)

Well, it's not the ONLY thing so far. There are those costumes of Rolf, Rhys, Rika, and Nei coming to PSO2 next month.

Still, this was a pretty nice treat since I always wanted to get one but was worried about condition on the second hand market. Amazon's shipping was only eight bucks too and it arrived in a few days. Pretty keen.

No Amy or Mieu costume in PSO2, no play for me.

Play my games!

Well, excuse me while I defy all laws of logic and common sense and do it anyway.

Costumes in PSO2 too ? Nice for the players still playing PS2 but I've never tried it and I think I'll never play it... :(

Is it really too much to ask Sega to localize this? Phantasy Star (classic that is) isn't even liked in Japan. You can argue classic Phantasy Star is more relevant in the West than it is in Japan.
I feel the way you would
