Doubt about FFIX Instruction Manual

[vg_freddy]

Hi there!

Today, i bought Final F. IX (i could'nt find a new one, so it's used) and it has the 4 discs and a manual titled:

FINAL FANTASY IX
ONLINE STRATEGY GUIDE
on
PlayOnline.com

Is this the only manual the game has? Or is the other one missing (i'm questioning because all my other FF bring a manual that explains you even how to turn on your Playstation :p ) So? Is there a manual missing?

This is the FF Version (US)

Thanks!

Uhh, yeah, there's definitely one missing. If it doesn't go over te basics about a lot of the things in the game, and is around 20-30 pages, then you have the little playonline paper thingie, but that is definitely not the booklet.

Yep. That's just a bonus. Like a teaser for the strategy guide. You're missing the actual instruction manual which is 30 pages and just has the Logo with a picture of the sky in the background.

After I first read that stupid PlayOnline manual, I went to the library to try get to that site . . . it wasn't up. Multiple times, I tried to get to the sites for FF8 and FF9 . . . no success. 8 didn't exist (apparently) and 9 was never completed. Square really didn't a lot of thought into it before they included the manual in the U.S. release.

You can read some semblance of the actual manual online here (http://www.ffinsider.net/ff9/inst.php). It's not great but it might help.

The official online strategy guide is still around. It's just not at PlayOnline anymore. Here's a link to it:

Yep. That's just a bonus. Like a teaser for the strategy guide.

And the Strategy Guide is just a teaser for the online guide. XD
