Final Fantasy X Ultimania Guide - IGN (original) (raw)

Today, the fine folks of Impress Game Watch secured the goods on the two-volume Final Fantasy X Ultimania guide set, to be released by Digicube on September 14. These two guides should comprise the most complete resource on the game available anywhere, and invaluable to players who can read them.

The set is in two parts, each priced at 1,400 yen. Scenario Ultimania describes the story, sub-quests, world map, towns, dungeons, and everything else that can be experienced and explored. It also includes a complete guide to all Blitzball players. Battle Ultimania addresses the characters' abilities, how to develop them via the Sphere Board, combat strategies, and monster/item catalogs.

Serious FF fans might be interested in picking up copies -- the Ultimania series generally includes far more information than is healthy, in packages weighty enough to stun a burglar with (after Neil Gaiman). Check import game shops and Japanese bookstores (such as Kinokuniya) this September.
