::::I can't find the ISBN, plus I don't really know the deep details about the books aside from the basics (I can't read Japanese and I just lookup the names on here to match them with their English names). Both games actually had ''several'' different guides released, however the ones I'm using are more official and in line with books like Encyclopedia Mother. | |||
::::For EarthBound Beginnings the illustrations of the items come specifically from [http://starmen.net/merchandise/guides/m1stratg.php here], it also contains maps and character stats. It was one of the 2 books that hosted the challenge where you send a seal to the publisher to win a Franklin Badge (the other being Encyclopedia Mother). I do actually like the illustrations in this book, and funny enough some items actually look like how they're named in the English release (such as the aluminum bat and the rings/bracelets, which Encyclopedia Mother's depictions look nothing like the English names. Also poor plastic bat). What I'm doing is using the illustrations for when we list the items in the templates, while still using Encyclopedia Mother's primarily if possible. | |||
::::I don't actually own the EarthBound one, but from what it seems like is it's basically the Mother 2 counterpart to the Mother 1 guide. A little while ago I was able to find a collection of the item pages on Starmen.net's Mother 1+2 item guide, which contain all of the other items besides the weapons have the English names right next to the items[http://starmen.net/mother12/itemguides/mother2/weapons/weapons.php] (which makes it more convenient and a lot easier to translate the names so it's a plus for me). I don't have the M2 player's guide, and from what it seems both that and the EarthBound player's guide don't have pictures of every item in the game, so eventually I plan to use this and upload the illustrations of all of the items in the game. Whichever book these came from is the one I'm using, I'll try to find out more about it. If I (or others too) find out more about the books, I for one would like to have articles about the various strategy guides released, though for now I probably might only be able to do the one I'm using for EBB. | |||
::::Also I believe it would be a good idea to mention which images are acceptable for the mainspace. Generally as long as they come from official sources (official artwork, Player's guides and strategy guides, etc) they should be fine. Fan made art should only be limited to userpages and never used in the mainspace. <span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">'''''[[User:OmegaToad64|<font color="dodgerblue">Omegα</font>]] [[User talk:OmegaToad64|<font color="mediumseagreen">Toαd</font>]] [[Special:contributions/OmegaToad64|<font color="red">64</font>]]'''''</span> [[Image:Toad.jpg|20px]] 14:06, 15 July 2020 (UTC) | |||
