FFVII Ultimania Omega Cover Art

From reading the thread name it seemed like a Kishi thread.

Oh, and Japan puts a lot of random stuff into English with their products. Probably having something to do with their fascination of western cultures. They may have a shirt that says "Love Heart Time is Greatest" in English but it doesn't mean automatically that you'll see it anywhere else.

By the way, this thing won't be coming out in North America in all likelihood. No other Ultimania has before (there've been 9).

Not if we start bitching and flooding the inboxes of Square Enix!

anyway what exactly do these guides or w/e they are contain?

Try reading this very thread... specifically, Squall of SeeD's first reply to it.

Confession time:

I actually own two T-shirts like that. One says 'Cubic Cube: I Think Square is the Top of Cool Shape in the World' and the other one says 'Hot Space Station Justice'.

Any luck translating the Ultimania guides into English or it going slow like Xenogears Perfect Works?

Depends on what you're looking for. Translations of the important stuff for X has long since been taken care of, and some of the stuff for VIII was recently translated by DarkAngel (who some of you may know of as the one translating Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis). (Spoilers for X ahead) (SPOILER)It's known that Dream Zanarkand is within Spira, Sin is millions of Pyreflies held together with Gravity Spells, and a few other things that aren't so obvious in-game, but became so with the Ultimania in mind. (Spoilers for VIII ahead)(SPOILER)DarkAngel's translation of the section on Witches/Sorceresses renders it impossible for Rinoa to be Ultimecia due to the statement being present that Witches have the same lifespans of normal people.

Stuff for IX hasn't really been translated very much. Someone named "PMog" is currently translating some stuff for it, but hasn't gotten to anything that important yet.

Tell me squall, ARE YOU 100% absoulutly sure that it won't come in america?

None of the previous guides have been released in the US, so I don't see why they'd go to the expense of translating FFVII's guide - unless they do a limited number of copies to add to the Advent Children sensationalism. As popular as the FF series is, I just can't see there being sufficient demand for a really deep, analytical guidebook outside of Japan - and translation isn't cheap.
