Im a new member here at EOFF although Ive been a fan of RPGs and FF in particular since the release of FF7. Im sure like many people who started with that game, Im sloowwwly trying to make my way through all of the Final Fantasy series.
With each new game I take on I feel a little torn when it comes to the use of game guides. On the one hand I wanna have everybodys best weapon, or collect all the cards and magazines, have every summons etc, etc.
On the other hand I hate to take away that sense of exploration and of being surprised by new discoveries. But I dont realisticaly think I could ever uncover all the secrets of these games without the use of guides, I mean some stuff I read and say " I would never have stumbled on that!"
How do you guys feel about the use of game guides?
If you do use them how do you use them without spoiling your own experience of exploration and discovery? Do you consider them required reading?
