Scans from Ultimania Omega
Provided my Photobucket account survives the abuse, I bring you some scans from FFVII: Ultimania Omega, a newly-released 600 page strategy guide with more information on FFVII than you'll ever need to know, ever. These scans are all sketches except for the cover and a couple random items, so don't expect anything too flashy.

Scans! No real particular order.

Redone Sephiroth and Cloud (in classic garb) grace the cover:

Zack!!1 (whose hair was originally long...)

Cloud prototype. No bangs omg!

Blocky Barret sketch

OMG SephirothxCloud and TifaxYuffie hawt seckz (kidding; their Ehrgeiz art... as face cards for some reason =P)

More Cloud sketches <3

Red XIII on a cliff

Nanaki and a pup

Chaos and Hellmasker

Yuffie's back

Yuffie's original costume color

Bizarro Sephiroth

Safer Sephiroth

Tifa, Aeris, Barret and Red XIII on the truck (I love the look on Aeris and Tifa's faces here XD)

Sephiroth clone!

Chocobo!! And a certain chocobo-head

Tifa on the cart

Cloud on the Hardy Daytona

Cloud's crossdressing underclothes... and his wigs and dresses XD;

Itadaki Street Special character select (smallish picture to begin with, so it's kind of crappy...)

Crisis Core Sephiroth, Zack and Jenova

And finally, the most useful accessory in the whole freakin' game...

Yes folks, that is the thing that protects our heroes from practically every status effect out there. ISN'T IT PRETTY!? =P

Fin!

Because I've gotten the question before, I think the book's really cool and believe that yes, it'd be worth buying. I mean, it's not chock full of never-seen-before artwork (I scanned most of that stuff already *cough*), but it's got a ton of screencaps, scripts, commentary, pre-production notes, talks of characters' appearances in other games, et cetera. But truthfully, when it comes down to it, I think the choice to buy it basically depends on how much Japanese you know. If you know Japanese, ~~dear god~~ buy it ~~and translate for the rest of us =P~~. If you know some/are learning it, buy it because there are things that're easy to pick up (I think, anyway). If you don't know it, then... let your rabidity be your guide =P It's a LOTTA text, after all.

Anyway, enjoy.

	You're welcome XD The cover was my main motivation for buying it >_> It looks much better than that IRL though. I fixed the brightness as much as I could, but... my scanner kind of sucks. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I always pictured the ribbon to be yellow shrugs Those are some great scan! I love seeing the detail in those classic designs... But which dress is which? Which wig is which? They all look so similar! ;) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	stares for a while You know... .........your icon is really hot. >_>; And he is! Cloud's one hell of a looker anyway, but all redone like this? Good lord. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jen0va99 2005-09-27 01:29 pm UTC (link)
	I spent nearly that much too ($47). Couldn't find any cheaper shipping =P But on the plus side, it came in less than a week... I always thought Zack had long hair because his spikes are gigantic. Then along came AC and LO and ruined that image =P Cloud without bangs looks like a huge punk, and I'm not sure how much I like that. You're welcome! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mako_chan09 2005-09-27 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	Where did you buy that??? I want one too..and i think so does every other Final Fantasy fan out there...but yeah i though Zack's hair was long too..i have Ichiban and his hair is long in that one..... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I got this copy off eBay, but I'm sure there's import stores that you can order it from, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wow... suddenly I'm hit with FF7 nostalgia (I probably spelled that wrong). That book is awesome, thanks for sharing. Question. I sucked at the game and barely managed to beat it... is that bow really the ultimate thing to get in the game? giggles (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jen0va99 2005-09-27 01:43 pm UTC (link)
	You're welcome. And yep, that's the Ribbon. Protects from a whoooole mess of status effects. But why they made it so girly is beyond me. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	OMGWTF I MUST GET THIS BOOK. Are there more artworks than just the ones you scanned? (is wanting to get the book mainly for artwork* Or are those just all the artworks in it? :-( (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jen0va99 2005-09-27 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't scan any of the monster artwork or roughs of the official profile/fullbody artwork (except Cloud's, since it was part of the package there), so there's several pages of that. There's also vehicle renders and some character models, all of which can be found on the 'net somewhere or another (and bigger, too. These ones are dinky). (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Wow, just gorgeous. I have it ordered, but alas, shipping seems to take forever. Anyways, am hoping there's a bit more art in there? Can't read Japanese, unfortunately. (Reply to this) (Thread)
