Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Guide Information

This information comes from two posts in a cuhrayzee thread regarding the contents of the guide. I don't have mine yet so I can't comment on it.

I just picked up the guide from Gamestop (let me take the guide home but not the game at least).

There are, in the guide at least:

20 VR Missions (Not sure if that includes the PS3 only ones)

Weapon wise, there are 10. 7 are HF blades and 3 are the boss weapons in the trailer. Most of the special HF blades require you to find hidden items or complete certain trophies / achievements. There is an unlockable wooden sword, but the guide doesn't state it is the one where Snake speaks to Raiden; it is, however, the most interesting weapon, imo. Also weapons (at least the HF blades from what I read) are customizable and have the ability to be made stronger through using BP, meaning that there are skill unlocks for Raiden as well as upgrades for each weapon.

I'm not going to count but the book has this to say for combos / movements:

2 pages of combo commands, 5 pages of combo / battle tactics (including things like cancelling).

The Desperado bosses are all the ones you know, and then there are 7 bosses total listed as "Bosses." However, L-Q84i is not listed as a boss, meaning that there could be multiple "mini bosses" comprised of tough enemies.

There are a lot of unlockables and hidden items / trophies / achievements, as well as some cool easter eggs.

I figure this way it won't die a lonely death in the other thread.

In game costume / armors:

There are 7, not counting default skin, +2 DLC skins (Grey Fox and Original Body)

There are 3 that are Custom Body colors, Red, Blue, and Yellow, which are unlocked by completing VR missions.

Mariachi is from File R-02, Desperado is from R-04, Suit is from R-00 on Very Hard, and Standard Body is from finishing the game on Hard or higher difficulty.

Wigs are unlockable, but are "cheats," in that they give you special powers, and there are 3 of them: Infinite Wig A, B, and Blade Mode Wig. They are unlocked by collecting certain amounts of ID chips and finishing the game.

Also, according to the guide at least, the game takes 4 playthroughs to fully unlock / upgrade all weapons and Raiden.
