Okay, I got the official RiviPSP guide today, and the sole purpose (the art section) was quite worth it. There are thirty pages, plus two for the cover. It's no Designer's Works, but it's delicious all the same. They are large, uncleaned and uncropped, so, have fun.
If you wish to instead download the http://www.lacrimacastle.net/files/Riviera/psp/guide/RiviPSPGuideArt.zip, you just missed the link by continuing to read this sentence.

http://www.lacrimacastle.net/files/Riviera/psp/guide/IMG_0030.jpg (the RiviGBA bath scene CGs and the four RiviPSP bath scene CGs that are not actually in the game)
In the CGs, if two coloured versions are shown, it is the first that was actually used in game.
For those of you that wish to buy it, otaku.com has at least one copy in stock, and, considering they have the GBA and WSC guides, I would assume YesAsia.com will have it eventually. Amazon.co.jp has it, as well, but you'll have to find a work around for their "no-ship-to-the-US" policy.
Scan quality wasn't like perfect, but a little resizing and cleaning might fix that. ;]
Thanks a whole lot for these scans, Sturm~ :D!
I think you should scan them in lower resolutions if you're going to host them.
This is so awesome. Thanks for the scans, Sturm.
Minus 7? What are the missing ones?
Minus #7.
And I just said my scanning abilities are not great.
Whooop! Thanks oh, holy one!!
Poor scan-fu my ass! Thanks Sturm, I love you! ^___^;;
Thanks alot for the scans^^
I hope so much that Sting makes some wallpapers out of that new art... everyone looks so cool in it. I MEAN, EVEN EIN LOOKS COOL.
And by "new art," I mean the one that Sturm doesn't recognize.
"Even" Ein? Ouch! XD
...There's no full-body art of Seth-chan, how cheap. XD But there's full-body human Rose... yay...
No Seth...aw...she's one of my favourites too...
and haha...yeah even some of the Ein pics look cool.
But Ledah is cooler, and Hector is the coolest(for me)
Finally I get to see his whole pic, all the way to his feet and beyond *_*
I've been looking all over for that
There's full art of Seth.
It's called CG#69.
Wow, its awesome!^^ Ill order it too. I just love artbooks, especially from my fav games ;)
I love the sketchs of Ledah and Malice. Sometimes they look completly different then in the GBAversion though *lol*
Hey, Ein is always cool. NOBODY SHOULD SAY OTHERWISE ;_;
Well, there's a reason Seth doesn't have one; she's not a character.
she's not a character?? ;_;
Aww, don't pick on Seth, she's cute!
You should add a webcounter to the Bathscene link.
Uh... And thanks for the scans.
Also, Seth's actually a character.
Not a main one though, and that's why she didn't get a full art.
But... Bosses did...
The Einherjar and Lorelei are more characters than Seth is.
The bath scenes aren't in the PSP version? Why did they create them then...
Thank you for your generosity in sharing these scans!
...is it just me, or do the CGs of Malice capturing Fia, Serene, and Cierra have "kinky crack pairing!" written all over them?
/is shot
And for some reason, the original plan for the CG "Acquirement in exchange for Life" seems cuter than the one that was actually used. It makes you wanna hug Ledah more. ...But then, that's just my opinion...
Hail Sturm for the scans of goodness~! XD
wow lol thank for the scan ^^
These are beautiful and shiny and so many things and thank you soso much for scanning them *_*
I'm buying the guide.
I wonder why.
>___>
All of these CG's look so beautiful.
I am | \ this close to breaking down and importing. Which I never, ever do.
Are there any imports sites that have the book for sale. I thought it was a pre-order gift and didn't expect it to be sold or anything.
This is the guide for RiviPSP, not the Designer's Works.
I stated that, and also pointed out several places where it could be purchased.
Ah, then I totally wasn't paying attention, my bad...
Very³ Thx Dr.Strum for scans, all are cool .i need buy this @_@
Hey, maybe if we can't get ahold of the Designer's Book, this art guide should become the prize for the holiday contest or something.
You're asking Sturm to give up his book.
Those pictures look great. And of course OMG MORE BATH SCENES!!!!! (jk)
All this made possible by your so-called "poor scan-fu" aka. scanning skills Sturm. Thanks. :)
It's kind of sad. The Riviera guide doesn't give the character's ages like the Yggdra Union one does.
DOES THAT MEAN THERE ARE NO BATH SCENES IN THE PSP RIVIERA??? Well, I don´t care since stupid Sony has forbidden all PSP imports... >_>
Thanks for the scans, Sturm.
Omfg, awesome. Rublove Sturm. :<
Those CG are awesome!
Rly? The YU guide gives us the charas' ages? How old is they?
//back on topic
Well, I think they just don't want to confirm or deny Lina's weird claims that she's older than Fia.
The world likes having us in confuzzlement over that, after all.
Yggdra: 17
Milanor: 17
Durant: 24
Nietzsche: 12
Roswell: 21
Rosary: 19
Kylier: 17
Gulcasa: 20
Russell: 25
Cruz: 21
Elena: 16
Those are the ones that were given I think, not sure if there is anymore.
Yes, those are the only ages given; I put them in the wikipedia article.
Sturm, can your scanner get higher quality for a few of the scans? I really liked a few of them and would like to see better quality for those.. ._.
I'm pretty sure it can.
So uh, do you think you can rescan a few of the pages for me?
I could.
Would you do it for TWO imaginary ha'pennies?
...eh... Cruz...?
Oh foo, don't tell me I missed getting an optional character in the party?! @_@ *kicks my game*
And Gul-chan is only 20! Wow. He sure is accomplished for his age.
//I really... REALLY am going to get back on topic, I swear.
BTW Sturm, are there any other pictures of the characters like the colored one of Serene on the rough sketches page? That one was soo cute...
I scanned all the art there was in the book.
Strum, I managed to get the Screen capture module on my PSP working, if you'd like, I could send the CGs I've captured so far to you and you can post them on the site for everybody. I don't have an imagebucket account, so I can't upload them.
I haven't played that much lately (got sidetracked by the PSX emulator and Final Fantasy Tactics and Suikoden :P), so I'm still at the village, where you just met Fia and Lina. I'm kind of busy this year, and I don't know how much I'll be able to play so I'll just send you what I have now. Please reply as quickly as possible.
I dunno about Sturm, but I'd like that. ^_^
I actually wouldn't. Considering you stated you're going slow, and, until someone figures out how to hack the save files or someone uploads a complete file, it will take six play throughs to get them, there's not so much point. Not to mention, it would take a minimum of two, up to four screen shots for each CG, and there would still be text on parts of it or cropping to get rid of the text.
Thank you for the offer, though, I'm still trying to get through those files.
*sigh* He's so picky.
Well, I suppose it doesn't matter, since we'll get them in the end.
And it's too bad about that Serene pic. That was really cute, and I was hoping there'd be one of everyone else...
The pics I took don't have those texts and subtitles, I captured them as I played the game, so you don't have to crop or combine them. They aren't perfect, but I'll send them to you anyways so you can see what I'm talking about.
If you want to keep doing them, make a thread and start posting them. I'm sure people would love it.

Good topic.

I LOVES YOU STURM.
Neon the Chao, ruler of all, thanks you.
You can be my co-co-ruler of all (behind AzureDemon, who is co-ruler).
Um, how much did you pay for it?
