5 out of 5 stars Keep Collecting   March 10, 2010
Mr. S. Clough (Bradford, West Yorkshire)
I've got this because of its value it will add to my collection of Final Fantasy Games.
Since this is the collectors edition, there will be a limited number of these.

As a guide goes, you get all your information and tips on boss battles etc...
I tend to only use the guide when I'm stuck or to read after completing the game.

Even if you never use this guide, if you are a Collector of Final Fantasy, then this will only add value to your collection (More so if its not removed from its seal)

Generally I steer clear of videogame strategy guides, but for a big RPG it can be very tempting to have something that explains all the mechanics of levelling etc. If that's all you need, you can probably get a badly-printed tips book with a magazine ... this, however, is so much more.

Piggyback has a reputation for putting together exemplary guides - their guide to FFXII was already superb - and this is no exception. There's a walkthrough, which you probably don't need, but despite the fact that the maps actually boil down in most cases to showing you how to walk from A to B down a straight line they are lovingly integrated into the page, with lots of high-quality artwork and details that enable you to pick up every last treasure chest.

There are, of course, plenty of spreadsheets to get tucked into for the devoted RPG fan, and a full bestiary, and you are never going to feel that there is any data that you might need that is not readily at hand. Once you've finished the game, however, the book will continue to serve as an impressive piece of memorabilia thanks to its high quality of production and elegant design.

I bought this along with the collectors' edition of the game and here's the thing: when you compare what you get for the extra money from Square Enix, and what you get for the same money (or less) from Piggyback, it is clear that this guide is fantastic value for money. This isn't just a guide for the stat-crazed; it's the best souvenir you can get for this generation of Final Fantasy.
