Lacrima Castle _ Riviera _ RiviPSP Guide Art
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 18 2006, 09:47 PM
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.

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!
Posted by: Raijinili Dec 18 2006, 10:26 PM
I think you should scan them in lower resolutions if you're going to host them.
Posted by: ChefMKT Dec 18 2006, 11:12 PM
This is so awesome. Thanks for the scans, Sturm.
Posted by: Desu Dec 18 2006, 11:37 PM
Minus 7? What are the missing ones?
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 18 2006, 11:52 PM
Minus #7.
And I just said my scanning abilities are not great.
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Dec 18 2006, 11:52 PM
Whooop! Thanks oh, holy one!!
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Dec 19 2006, 01:19 PM
Poor scan-fu my ass! Thanks Sturm, I love you! ^___^;;
Posted by: Desu Dec 19 2006, 04:52 PM
Thanks alot for the scans^^
Posted by: Rhiannon Dec 19 2006, 04:55 PM
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.
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Dec 19 2006, 06:16 PM
"Even" Ein? Ouch! XD
...There's no full-body art of Seth-chan, how cheap. XD But there's full-body human Rose... yay...
Posted by: Desu Dec 19 2006, 07:03 PM
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
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 19 2006, 07:25 PM
There's full art of Seth.
It's called CG#69.
Posted by: Deamond Dec 19 2006, 07:27 PM
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*
Posted by: Enzd Dec 19 2006, 08:30 PM
Hey, Ein is always cool. NOBODY SHOULD SAY OTHERWISE ;_;
Posted by: Desu Dec 19 2006, 08:40 PM
There's full art of Seth.
It's called CG#69.
I know, but I'm tired of that one.
I'm referring to those pictures with the character sketches and stuff
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 19 2006, 08:43 PM
Well, there's a reason Seth doesn't have one; she's not a character.
Posted by: Desu Dec 19 2006, 08:47 PM
she's not a character?? ;_;
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Dec 19 2006, 09:42 PM
Aww, don't pick on Seth, she's cute!
Posted by: Shadow Dec 20 2006, 12:31 AM
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...
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 20 2006, 12:34 AM
The Einherjar and Lorelei are more characters than Seth is.
Posted by: aerozero Dec 20 2006, 12:59 AM
The bath scenes aren't in the PSP version? Why did they create them then...
Posted by: Ultimaninja Dec 20 2006, 01:23 AM
Thank you for your generosity in sharing these scans!
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Dec 20 2006, 01:21 PM
...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...
Posted by: Swifty-chan Dec 20 2006, 03:06 PM
Hail Sturm for the scans of goodness~! XD
Posted by: level Dec 20 2006, 03:37 PM
wow lol thank for the scan ^^

Geh...It's not just you.
And yes...the original CG looks cuter, but Ledah seems more alive there to me

Well, Malice has Fia restrained and bent over, she has Cierra spread with her bust shoved out, she's holding Lina with her mouth covered, but otherwise everything is normal in that except for the huge grin on Malice's face and the "oh!" look on Lina's. The Serene one is pretty normalish, though.
Posted by: Seve Dec 21 2006, 03:16 AM
These are beautiful and shiny and so many things and thank you soso much for scanning them *_*

Hahaha except for the Serene one which isn't as cracky and more that'dneverhappen but I totally see it too XD;
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 21 2006, 03:20 AM

You liar:
It's even in RiviGBA.
Posted by: Leyviur Dec 21 2006, 02:56 PM
I'm buying the guide.
Posted by: Enzd Dec 21 2006, 03:40 PM
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.

Yep, crack love/hate sex all the way. ^_^
...I'm tempted to ask if we can start up the Icontest again, since I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to play with these pretty new pictures.
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Dec 21 2006, 09:04 PM
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.
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 21 2006, 09:08 PM
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.
Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Dec 21 2006, 09:26 PM
Ah, then I totally wasn't paying attention, my bad...
Posted by: RuikiaKarine Dec 22 2006, 12:35 PM
Very³ Thx Dr.Strum for scans, all are cool .i need buy this @_@
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Dec 22 2006, 01:14 PM
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.
Posted by: Raijinili Dec 23 2006, 05:05 AM
You're asking Sturm to give up his book.
Posted by: Seans Dec 24 2006, 02:46 AM
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. :)
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 24 2006, 05:04 AM
It's kind of sad. The Riviera guide doesn't give the character's ages like the Yggdra Union one does.
Posted by: P.P.A. Dec 25 2006, 02:08 PM
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.
Posted by: Chaos Seraph Dec 25 2006, 05:55 PM
Omfg, awesome. Rublove Sturm. :<
Posted by: Disaresta Dec 25 2006, 11:19 PM
Those CG are awesome!
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Dec 28 2006, 10:55 PM
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.
Posted by: ChefMKT Dec 28 2006, 11:26 PM
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.
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 29 2006, 01:27 AM
Yes, those are the only ages given; I put them in the wikipedia article.
Posted by: Malice Dec 30 2006, 03:32 PM
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.. ._.
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 30 2006, 03:33 PM
I'm pretty sure it can.
Posted by: Malice Dec 30 2006, 03:40 PM
So uh, do you think you can rescan a few of the pages for me?
Posted by: Dr Sturm Dec 30 2006, 04:26 PM
I could.
Posted by: Raijinili Jan 1 2007, 06:38 AM
Would you do it for TWO imaginary ha'pennies?
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Jan 2 2007, 09:52 PM
...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...
Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 3 2007, 02:07 AM
I scanned all the art there was in the book.
Posted by: aerozero Jan 3 2007, 06:25 AM
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.
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Jan 3 2007, 06:31 PM
I dunno about Sturm, but I'd like that. ^_^
Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 3 2007, 06:36 PM
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.
Posted by: Feral Phoenix Jan 3 2007, 06:38 PM
*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...
Posted by: aerozero Jan 3 2007, 11:03 PM
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.
Posted by: Dr Sturm Jan 4 2007, 12:16 AM
If you want to keep doing them, make a thread and start posting them. I'm sure people would love it.

Please someone can re-upload this book? Please ?
Thanks for help

It doesn't need reuploading; just change the lacrimacastle.net in all the links to leyviur.net.

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?
