I wonder, then, why the folks at Agatsuma didn't just go for an actual manual?<br /><br /><br />Also, thanks for letting me know about the Second Edition manual. Seems kind of lazy, doesn't it? Although I can't fault them for just going with what they'd already probably spent a good bit of time creating for the earlier release.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-70100212684968430162013-07-03T07:41:17.585-07:002013-07-03T07:41:17.585-07:00Interesting.

The thing that really makes it seem cheap to me is that the only difference between this and an 8-page booklet is two cuts and a staple, how much could this possibly be saving them?<br /><br />By the way, if you were curious at all (I compared them, hehe), the Second Edition manual is page-for-page identical to the manual you scanned, except for the dates of publication and the little ad on the last page for the strategy guide is missing (the enemy art is resized/replaced to fill the extra space).michaelstearnsnoreply@blogger.com
