Here are some of the changes:

What is "FFVII"? section
1) Added the calendar until ACC released.
2) DOC International & FFVII snowboarding are added to FFVII compilation products.
3) Added term definition of LOVELESS and Degradation

Characters section
No changes

Story Playback section
1) Added story playback of DoC Multiplayer Mode, Crisis Core and Advent Children Complete
2) Added Reno special episode on Before Crisis story playback.

Secrets section
1) Interview of Takahiro Sakurai, Cloud's voice actor
2) Added more artworks of Crisis Core
3) CG images of FFVII characters
4) TVCM for Crisis Core
5) More FFVII goodies

Here are some sample pages of the book:

 

[Shinra Scientist]

I thought they'd be more changes than that...I was thinking about getting it, but I do have the original so now I'm not sure if I should.

 

[paoo]

About the ninth pic.. How are Cloud and Tifa related? In wich way..? :3
Lovers?

 

[Makoeyes987]

I just got my copy too, and hitoshura's getting his tomorrow.

Yeah, there don't seem to be any new changes to the profiles, but we'll translate what new stuff there is and see if anything is interesting there

It's nice there's new and additional artwork added and stuff.

What does that chart say?

 

[Animexcel]

DAHHHhhhhh!! I want! ;_;
Hope I could buy one somewhere.

Lolz, xAerith I was looking at that same page. Looking at it from a Clerith perspective, as well as predicting how the Clerith fangroup will look at it... Compare the arrowed line from Tifa going to Cloud, to Tseng going to Aerith. Tseng had a small thing for Aerith, but she didn't reciprocate it. THAT'S HOW THEY'LL INTERPRET IT.

 

[Restless]

Okay, so Tifa has an arrow pointing to Cloud. Zack and Aerith point to each other. Yuffie's points to Zack, which indicates she had a small crush. Tseng's points to Aerith; before, it was always called "special feelings," except for that one line from Reno, who had just finished saying something about Elena liking Rude. Either way, special feelings/crush. Other people having arrows pointing to nothing, indicating that their crushes/romantic interests/spouses were never shown.

Now, someone please tell me why Hollander's arrow points to Hojo.

 

[Channy]

Colleagues? ...He looked up to him?

 

[Restless]

Angeal, Sephiroth, and Genesis are connected with lines, as are Zack and Cissnei, Zack and Sephiroth, Zack and Angeal, Zack and Tseng, etc. The arrows appear on Aerith/Zack and such. Though Cloud had no arrow pointing to Tifa...She has one pointing to him.

 

[Reference]

Yeah, we can see that... but what does it mean? (*expects translation of japanese text on the page*)

 

[Channy]

I repeat, the Clerith's will fangasm over that as "proof" that he doesn't love her.

 

[Restless]

Yeah, they will. Hopefully the translation will sort it out...I'm guessing the Tseng to Aerith still says "special feelings" because it hasn't been referred to as anything else as far as Ultimanias go, I believe. I'm just wondering why there is an arrow pointing from Hollander to Hojo, when all the other ones seem to be pointing at romantic interests. You'd think they'd use lines if it meant as colleagues. So, that probably means the arrows are something else entirely.

 

[Channy]

I dunno, maybe there's some homoerotic tension going on in those white robes. We'll find out soon though.

According to the hiragana table I pulled up, it says "urami" which, according to an online translator, means resentment, bitterness, or grudge. That makes sense.

 

[Channy]

Oh, that makes MUCH more sense. So from that table, can you pick up the translation for Tifa ---> Cloud?

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

According to my dictionary, it seems the line Cloud and Tifa share indicates that they're close. I can't read the tiny kanji in Tifa's profile so well, though.

Yeah but.. Doesn't Cloud's line point back to Tifa? And wasn't Cloud "dimly" in love with Tifa in CC? But umh.. I just wanna know what it says. I can't talk japanese you know! XDDD
OMFG, Hollander's line points at Hojo!! Does that mean that Hollander had a crush on him?
................................OH MA GAWD.

 

[I Am Not Me]

Guh, I can't read Tifa's kanji. DDDDX

Although I think the hiragana between her and Cloud says "おなじみ"? I think this means they know each other or are familiar with each other. Although that first character was sort of hard to read...

And xAerith, Hollander's line has "うらみ" on it. It means "has a grudge". But LOL I like how you think.

It's such a fail that I can't read Kanji. DDDX

 

[Makoeyes987]

There is no "Dim Love." That's a backwards ass translation of "hidden crush."

"Dim love" doesn't even make any sense.

 

[I Am Not Me]

Eh...what? I didn't say anything about a "dim love".

And where did that come from anyway? It sounds ridiculous. D:

 

[Makoeyes987]

I wasn't referring to you, I Am Not Me.

I was referring to:

There is no "dim" love. It meant "hidden" love. Or a secret crush. Which it is. Calling it "dim" love is a jacked up translation.

I'm glad I got an answer of that.
I read the translated CC Ultimania from the Clerith forums.
So that's probably why.. But thank you. So Cloud did have a secret crush on Tifa? I'm not suprised tho. (Stealing her underwear shows enough. XDDD)

 

[paoo]

LMAO. I do have a yaoi-brain.
And.. "grudge = crush" sounds almost the same, huh? XDDD

Yeah, I'd be very wary of the translations there.

"Dimly" loving someone makes no sense. The "dim" in actuality means "hidden." As in, a hidden, secret love, or crush.
