Kingdom Hearts II Limited Edition Strategy Guide

[scoot95]

Does anyone have this? If so, can you please tell me what it includes? Also, what is in it that I can not get in the regular strategy guide?

I am debating which guide to get.

No comments on why I am even getting a strategy guide in the first place please....

Pretty sure that the only differences are that it's harcover, and there are probably some additional illustrations. I doubt that the LE strat. guide has any extra hints or strategy.

Why are you getting a strategy guide for a game said to be ridiculously easy anyways?

Oh..... "some guy" at frys said that the one they had there was "the good one" and it was $19.99. But it wasn't a hardcover. So it was just the "plain" one, and I overpaid?

I see that it's $12.99 at Amazon:

Oddly enough, they are promoing for you to "buy them both" for ~$33. :whofart:

I don't think the limited guide is hardcover. I bought it yesterday but have not unwrapped it yet. It is more like a carboard slipcover with the guide inside and a couple of extra artwork-related things.

Pinata242 answered my question about this in the KH thread

According to the folks out there in the KH community, this is the back (linked for spoilers?): http://www.kh2.co.uk/assets/kh2bggle04.jpg

Looks like you getA "collectible" cover and Jiminy's Journal.

There's a thread on kh2.uk.co's forums with more specific info & pictures.


I edited it to take out possible spoilers, but there are four different "limited" covers. 20 bucks sounds about right for the "normal" strategy guide, I think the retail for the LE is 30. Amazon just has a good discount (I bought the Oblivion guide from them for 11 bucks).

It doesn't seem like enough to pay an extra ten bucks for, but if you're a big KH fan, I guess it's worth it.

Crap. Will I have any trouble returning the book to Frys?

[fujishig]

I don't think so, unless it's obvious that you've thumbed through it and the spine is bent, or something. I mean, you might have trouble if you returned it in a month or so, but in a couple of days, it should be fine.

Good luck in the Fry's customer service line, though...

I wasn't sure about this either. I've heard it was, but haven't seen anything to confirm that. I would be surprised if it wasn't just the regular guide in a different package to be bundled with Jiminy's Jounal.

No more trouble than returning anything else at Frys (which is to say it will take 45 minutes and 3 managers, but ultimately they'll take it back).

[Y2K Falcon]

Meh... Luckily Fry's is within 10 minutes of work, so I can go at a non-peak time.

For those who don't know yet...

The LE guide is in a cardboard case (like other Brady LE guides,) and has 2 separate guides... The first is the regular guide, with one of 4 differently colored covers. The second is a "Journal" with about 400 little stickers that you can stick in the journal when you have met a character, etc.

[eau]

It doesn't sound all that attractive. An artwork book would have been more collectible.

[Suprmallet]

Actually, the Journal is very well done. The stickers made more sense in the strategy guide for the first game, because you used them to mark when you got one of the dalmations, but the whole set looks really nice.
