Great book. Cover came scratched.
Book is fantastic. Fans will not be bummed at all.Most of the books I get from Amazon come slightly beat up because the dump everything in same box if you dont pick a separate day on the delivery schedule. Yet this one came on its own.

Great read!
Love the deep dive into the concept art and refreshing myself on this game. Great time reading it!

Great art book for aspiring artists and/or Fire Emblem and Nintendo fans!
I purchased this book last year as a Christmas gift for my close friend who is a huge fan of Fire Emblem: Awakening. I was able to skim through it with her, much to my excitement! The book itself comes in at over 300 pages of in-game CGs, official art, concept, sketches and in-game dialogue. Many of these pages are in full-color and in my experience, each and every page is printed in high quality.The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening is a gorgeous art book. Aspiring character designers will find inspiration through the amazing works of Yusuke Kozaki. Even those who don’t have interest in Fire Emblem will have to appreciate the sheer effort and creativity demonstrated by the talented artists and developers of Fire Emblem: Awakening. This is overall one of the most in-depth video game art books I’ve ever seen, and I highly recommend it to anyone who may be on-the-fence about purchasing it. Not to mention, it also serves as a great and thoughtful gift to any Fire Emblem or Nintendo fans you may have in your life.

Good artbook, small quality and damage issues
Content wise, the book is very good and contained a lot more than I expected. (In addition to concept art and official CG’s, there are also cutscene storyboards, results of fan-polls, einherjer illustrations, epilogue flavor-text, and full support conversation logs.) I also appreciated the translated notes in the concept art, and the extra commentary boxes from the creative team.Unfortunately, there are some minor printing errors(?) in the book. Ink smears (see pictures of: Basilio’s hand, the shadows in Flavia’s portrait, the outside of Brady’s silhouette, and the storyboard pages) and some white patchiness (see picture of Severa’s hand, this also occurs a few other times but not as noticeably). These errors are confined to the marriage proposal CGs and the start of the cutscene storyboards and aren’t a problem in any of the other sections, so it may be a one-off error. Additionally my book was damaged on the bottom when I received it (see pictures). I’m not sure if this happened during shipping from Amazon/USPS, or if the damage was already present before shipping, but other reviewers have encountered similar problems, so keep that in mind when ordering.Overall it’s a good book, the printing errors and damage aren’t enough to overshadow my enjoyment of its content. However, my excitement was definitely dampened upon seeing the physical damage to the book (honestly the ink problems didn’t bother me too much since they weren’t incredibly large or obscuring anything too important). If possible I would’ve given this a 3.5, but I’ll go with 4 instead of a 3 because I’m not sure which party is at fault for the damage to the book.

Um artbook obrigatório para todos os fãs de Fire Emblem. Não só apresenta muito conteúdo do processo de criação dos designs dos personagens, mas também me surpreendi ao me deparar com um catálogo completo de todos os suportes do jogo no final do livro! 100/10, me deu vontade de jogar Awakening de novo como se fosse a primeira vez.

Artbook di Fire Emblem davvero ben fatto, i disegni dentro spettacolari, molto curato nei dettagli.

Wunderschöne Illustrationen. Ich habe länger nicht mehr an das Spiel gedacht, aber dann habe ich gesehen, dass es ein Artbook gibt und war direkt wieder so geflasht wie früher. Super nostalgisch und mal ein andere Blickwinkel auf die Charaktere, zu denen man eh über das Spiel total die Bindung aufgebaut hat. Man sieht in dem Buch sehr gut wie viel Liebe und Herzblut in den Designs steckt. Ganz große Klasse.
