im sorry but i already have the strategy guide ( the official one) wich as i said is a big cop out cause it only directs u to playonline.com which after all this time no longer has anything to do with ff9.
and to be honest i dont feel like running round ff9 for hours and hours trying to figure out how/when/where to get/obtain/achieve/win every little thing in this game, this is why i was asking about best walkthroughs, where i can just glance at the right page and know i should stop and go do this here or ask this or beat that.
i appreciate the reply but kinda misses the point of my original post.

bless ya
