[-] = In collection

Friday about a week ago I went to pick up a parcel at the local post office. When I got home, I found that it was what I'd been waiting for almost two months to get!

Inside the parcel I found the Japanese variant of Eternal Ring, a King's Field IV poster, a small, Japanese guide to Shadow Tower, and what has since become the jewel of my collection: King's Field III: Power Completist!



I have been looking for this release for at least a couple of years, and all I've seen is an incomplete one. Until this one popped up, and I actually got it for only 530 yen - roughly $7 USD or  ‎£4.50 GBP - plus shipping! That's roughly half of what the normal version usually goes for!

There isn't really much difference to the release from the normal one, other than that it bundled in a slipcase with a small guide book.




The guide book is of good quality, and can to some extent even be used by someone who doesn't know Japanese(like me) because of the maps you find in it. In addition, it also seems to include things like lists of items and weapons, with information about them, and what looks like a map of how all the different areas are connected.





The KF3: Power Completist is the second most rare King's Field release, so I am very happy to finally have it in my collection! :D

Its awesome that you posted photos too, wow!! Looks really neat. You must really love kf.

[Guyra]

Hehe, yeah. It's KF2 that really got me hooked, and I loved the game before I had even tried playing it myself: My first encounter with it was watching my older brother play it, and we'd stay up all night - him playing, me watching. It was magic, and love at first site, haha! ;)

[Verdite]

Amazing, yeah it was TAC that got me hooked though ill say i almost took it back to the shop for a refund, after getting burnt in the lava on the first stage! I soon got sucked into the atmos and found it very refreshing and unique.

KF2 for me had more atmosphere, harder difficulty and almost no driving story, playing a game created with more emphasis on environments and assets again like TAC was cool.

Wow that is an awesome find!

I set up an area in my new man cave basement for my King's Field stuff, I wanted to include a hard copy of my game but Im having trouble locating my supplies to make more runs of it ><

I will have to scour every inch of my house soon, I know I owe some folks on here a copy as well.

[Verdite]

Did you draw the cover art for DD?

[Guyra]

Sorry about the late reply here!

Ah, I'd like to see pics of your little KF shrine there, Todd. ;) Trying to do the same here, but the glass cupboard I'm using has limited space, especially due to the glass shelves missing so I'll have to get new ones. :/ I'd also like to get some small display stands for the games to make it look really neat, but it'll take some time before I can do that, I guess.

Whats the kftac poster like?

[Guyra]

Like ... glossy paper print.

Nah, I can take a pic if you want me to?
