the Ultimania translations from Dark Horse

Has anyone been picking these up?

I had the second one (VII/VIII/IX) arrive today, and it has a few nice bits here and there that it's nice to have an official English take on. And of course pages after pages of character/critter/location designs (my precious), which are a maaaaajor draw for me.

By and large I enjoyed the first more than the second, though, which is probably partly because of my game preferences but also because there was more early stage or unused or just development notes stuff in it -- especially for II, which practically has one and a half entire other game plots outlined in there, whoo boy ~!

So, yeah, anyone else enjoying these? Or is there something someone might wind checked for, if you don't have them/aren't getting them?

Okay, my FFIV one is a Complete Guide for the DS version, but it has interviews and concept art in the back. It's nearly the same size...

I had at least the first KH one and maybe for II? It's been a long time.
