Well since the website never shows what it looked like, thus being somehow vague, what can I expect on this artbook?

- The books haven't been printed yet, so final details such as "what the cover looks like" probably haven't been decided yet. SNK does do a lot of art books, though (like a lot of other Japanese gaming companies) - I would expect bigass glossy pages with nice DPI.
- Actually, here's my Disgaea art book, which is also soft A4 with ~200 pages. Should be a very similar sort of thing. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 08:48, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
Are you interested in ordering the art book? I would like to see the details of the content. Maybe there are crucial information for each characters? Aside from that, will prepare the page for this I guess so.

- I do intend to nab a copy, but the estimated delivery date is late August. I'd be surprised if it could reach my country before October.
- Plus I'm not sure what the postage costs will be, or even if it can be shipped internationally. I might have it sent domestically to my friend living over there instead, in which case I'd get it when we next meet up - which may not even be this year. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 15:05, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
Ah yes, the typical late shipping because of COVID-19. Asides, i'll see soon if anyone got a copy of it or anything. Hopefully some people in the community.

I already have pre-ordered the artbook myself via ZenMarket. Let's play the waiting game next month. I'm pretty sure i'm still gonna write down my address since somehow they didn't let me do so after the purchase.
Small Update: They added some sample pages tho.

Due to production delays because of COVID-19, the Artbook's release was postponed and planned to be shipped on October 16, 2020.
So yeah, we gotta wait for an another 2 months.

- If these viral flareups continue around the world it could well be longer than that. Small silver lining: the designers may take the extra time to cram in some more art or whatever. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 03:47, July 18, 2020 (UTC)
- I hear tell shipping has now started. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 04:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
