Well since I completed the games years ago I won't comment on them until my review, but the artbook and case are very beautiful. If you didn't get the Limited Edition or Collector's Edition for those lucky North Americans, I do feel sorry for you, the artbook is amazing.

The artbook is nice, with all the concept art and comments from Naora and the other artists. Overall it's pretty cool, and better than the 1.5 book imo.

Well there is A LOT more pages. And Tetsuya Nomura even comments on Tidus and Yuna's designs. It's great.

My impression of the art book:

 

Like Kingdom Hearts I.5 before it, it makes for a terrible case- that disc just didn't wanna come out!

 

As a work of art and something to look at, however, it's beautiful

Did you get the Collector's Edition? 

 

The PAL Limited Edition has them separate.

No Limited, I wish I had gotten the Collector's though- that bundle is perfect what with the music CD

I still need to wait for the release 2 days to go
