An “Ultimania Alpha” book will be released in Japanese book stores for 800 Yen on December 4th, just prior to the release in Japan of Dissidia: Final Fantasy on the 18th – the 20 year anniversary of Final Fantasy. The book’s editorial writing is being done by Studio Bent Stuff, while the planning and production has been done by Square Enix. The Ultimania Alpha will be different from the typical Ultimania Omega books, in that it will be smaller in size, as is meant to be added as an extra to the game, rather than a comprehensive & detailed analysis like the Ultimania Omega books. It will contain high quality artwork of each character, and details on their techniques. In addition to this, a 100 question quiz is included after the appendix as a part of a sweepstakes that is being run.

We will have more information as it comes up, and as we get more comprehensive translations regarding the content.
