OPXion4EverIcon.png [probably butchered] YGOATS quote aside... So there hasn't been an offical North American Re:coded guide, right? Well, apparently over in Japan there was a little guide released titled "Kingdom Hearts Re:coded Power of Friendship Guide." click I haven't been able to find much information about the book, but here's a brief summary of what I've gathered:
  • Entire book is in Japanese (this is redundant, book released in Japan = Japanese)
  • Cost is similar to costs of other guidebooks. click
  • Explains: "how to use various systems, some communication mode, strategy maps, area and boss battle system thoroughly explained, abilties, technical command, and accessories, various data on enemies." [see link below]
  • Benefits: "Special poster: put the two elements useful strategy, with a special poster! The front surface, which enhances the capability of Sora "Matrix" status on large! In addition to the back surface, the floor map that appears on a list system in the area!" click
  • Covers all seven worlds.
  • Includes: info. on game systems and how they work, detailed boss and attendant battles, database of items/weapons/Keyblades/and more, series map of levels, special Re:coded poster is attached in the book.

I don't know if this is a beginner's book that we should ignore, or an actual guidebook we should look into. Will Square even release a guide for Re:coded, or will they simple ignore the remakes guides as they did with Re:CoM?

So, what do you guys think? Should we create the page or no?

And before you state "We don't cover everything Kingdom Hearts released in the world," understand this: You might be right, but we make a strong attempt to cover anything [canon] Kingdom Hearts. Furthermore, we covered a good number of them- why not add one more?

I myself am a bit hesistant to create the article due to it's short amount of information. However, if we [the Wiki] can use this to help our Wiki goal, then, by George, let's do it! Thoughts?

Questions:
  1. Whose book is it? Square Enix, or somebody else?
  2. How is it compared to the Re:coded Ultimania? (Do we even know?)

Since we cover the Bradygames guides, which, let's face it, are mostly crappy, I don't see why we shouldn't cover this. Somehow.

OPXion4EverIcon.png Answers:
  1. The guide was released on October 8, 2010- the day after Re:coded was released in Japan. The way I see it, it's a Square Enix promo.
  2. Seems this is a water-downed version of the Ultimania, created for fans of the game, but not hard-core fans who want everything the ultimania packs.
