The Memorial Ultimania aka Ultimania Archives were also released in English, French and German.. Kinda... Only the first volume of the German version is available and contains FFVII-FFIX.. Of course, they needed to start with the most popular games and couldn't go chronologically. They also need 4 years!!! to release volume 2.. At this speed, we will get vol 3 in year 2053.
Okay, but this post supposed to be about the original Japanese version and what the content of those books are. The Japanese version was released in celebration of the 25 Anniversary of Final Fantasy.
Totaling over three-hundred pages and collected in a high-quality hard-cover binding, they contain a tome of art, lore, and history. They are packed full of original concept art, process pieces, and notes from the original artists and designers chronicling the creation of these timeless games. They are featuring a lot of information about every single game from FFI to FFVI. Many graphics showing world maps, characters and much more. Also, an overview of every release is provided and is a great help for every collector of those games.
Those books were sold by SE for around 40€ and are definitely worth every penny. If you are not a collector, you should get one of the translated versions, as they are offering a ton of great information in a high quality package for every fan of the games.
