The cover is awesome~ Hope it makes it state side.

 

[Dandelion]

I am more excited for this than I am for the Japanese release of 2.5

 

[Solo]

Looking gorgeous! I absolutely love simplicity in design and colour. And the deep blue of the eye... captivating.

Gram - Ultimanias never come stateside. there is too much to translate.

How much there is to translate has nothing to do with it, money does. The games themselves hold more to translate than any book. If they thought they'd get a decent profit they'd translate.

So should I just forget about a translation and go ahead and import it?

Lovin' that cover. Nice, simple and clean (couldn't resist.) Makes me wish all Ultimania covers were like that.

And they would make a decent profit of it, too (well, at least I think they would.)

I want this Ultimania so bad, but I don't want to buy something I can't read (granted, I'd probably just get it for the pretty pictures, but still.)

You're right with everything but the content. A single Ultimania contains far more text than any one of the games.

This is kind of a loophole in the argument, but if you have a Japanese import store in the area such as Kinokuniya, they nay have some copies in stock, or you can place an order with them.

Nomura's blue eyes fetish is taken to the extreme here. XD

But in all seriousness, I really like this cover. I feel like the expression on Sora's face is fitting somehow, and the blend between the white and blue is just lovely here, imo.

I may just have to import this...

This is fair though anything worth reading will doubtlessly be translated

 

[Nazo]

I don't care if I can't read it, I already have the entire KH mythos memorized, lololol. So, unless there's some surprising interview stuff in there, I'll already know all of it. And said surprising info will be translated on here, I'm sure. I mostly just want it for the artwork and such. I already ordered a copy from Amazon JP.

 

[Launchpad]

That's my favorite Sora art. KH1 had such bold lines and bright colors in the official art... DDD channeled it a little bit, as did Coded. I love it. I loooove it. I actually always wished that THAT official art of Sora would be his in-game icon, instead of the 3/4 frontal icon. As soon as PCSX2 gets texture hacking, it shall be so.

 

[Elysium]

I like the cover, but I would only buy these if they were in English.

 

[kupo1121]

That cover art is stunning! I really hope it comes to the US, but like everything else KH, it probably won't. I might actually have to import this one, which I usually don't for the ultimanias...but hot dayum!

 

[Nazo]

After pre-ordering this, I feel like I'm more excited for this than I am for the actual game to be released stateside, lol. Although, that may only be because there's still no mention of anything other than the pin coming with our version of 2.5, and this is exactly the kind of KH merch I've always wanted to be included in some sort of special edition, or just released standalone.

Although, it may have more to due with the fact that this releases in two weeks, whereas 2.5 still has months to go to release in the West.

I think that one concept art with Riku wearing a blindfold is new? I've never seen it before.

Nope. It's in the kh1 ultimania (Atleast the one that was released with final mix)
