I took a quick look at the official FF XII Guide at Gamestop

It's the biggest strategy guide I've ever seen:eek:

It has almost 400 pages. From the looks of it, it covers every single detail about the game. It has maps for every area, covers detailed strategies of beating bosses, a huge list of abilities and magic that can be bought, and a large sidequest section. I was very tempted to buy this guide just to read it, but my budget is very tight:(

I'm definitely getting it.

Does it have lots of detailed pictures and images?

Sounds nice... I may buy it just for the novelty... What's the price tag on this master guide?
Ah, I clicked over to the website. that's odd though. there are two different guides. This sucks, because I"m getting the collecters edition and it costs more. grrr....

Why is that a bad thing?

Yeah, whys that bad? At least it'd be value for money from the sounds of it. But yeah its a defo from me, have to have the guide with every FF game I have.

It sounds like it will redeem the terrible VP2 guide. :cat:

i got my copy yesterday =]. it has alot of detailed pictures and maps. but by looking at this guide, this isnt similar to past final fantasy

The guy at GameStop insisted I check out the Limited Edition version when my dad and I went in to pay the rest off. That beast was heavy! It had a nice hard sleeve both books went into. I looked at the price tag: $29.99! He said I would get 20% if I buy it with the game. I felt terrible, I had ordered it online thinking it was only available there for $38.50 after shipping....

It should be here Monday.

I'm starting to feel temped on getting one, just for the use of a second run through. Thats what I do with all my other FF games. To people who have the limited edition copy, have you read or skimmed through it to see if it's actually worth the buy?

I've heard it's very worth it, and heard the art book is nice too. I can't say personally, but I ordered the LE guide online. I don't plan to use it my first time through other than just for finding rare items.

VP2's wasn't as bad as SO3's terrible strategy guide.

I'm not getting the LE OSG. My gigantic Kingdom Hearts II book is sitting here unused because I got sick of the game after two days. D:

They always do that, just trying to make you spend more money. you can stop it if you just say "I just brought enough money for the regular".

nope I won't be getting the guide also because of money issues.
