Haven't seen a thread on this yet (watch it be uploaded before I submit the thread)
This is volume 1 of 3, covering the first 6 titles.
As someone who hasn't really read the fan translations, I'm incredibly excited, particularly for the staff interviews. I already commented this on the article in the link, but I would like to hear from some of SE's more unsung employees.

I was going to post about this earlier. Frankly I can't wait, especially since you rarely can find information on the earlier titles.

That's pretty cool.

If it's anything like the Encyclopaedia Eorzea, you won't be able to buy one ever.

I doubt it's going to be anything like that rare, Dark Horse are a big publisher and the price is $35 which doesn't scream 'limited'

I have my fingers crossed, for sure. x}

I impulse preordered. I love the SNES games too much not to. (And I do enjoy the NES games, even if I haven't invested much time in any of them)

Well I've been collecting the Zelda ones coming out, why not Final Fantasy, too?

$23.99 on Amazon right now.

Do want.

I picked up the Japanese ones when I was in Japan a few years ago, but I can't read Japanese! Mainly got it for all the art work. So it'll be nice to actually read them this time.

This looks like it'll be awesome. Thanks for pointing it out.

Nice, about damn time!

Were the Kingdom Hearts Ultimania's ever localised?

Don't think so. Hopefully, if the FF Ultimanias do well we'll get KH too (To reiterate, this is what I want, not necessarily what will happen).

I like stuff like this and will probably buy it. I liked the playstation and before era, so this is gonna but nice.

Bumping this as a reminder that volume 1 is out in July and volume 2 (covering FFVII to FFIX) is scheduled for November.

Ugh I thought this was a reminder that it was out already.

How disappointing. xD
