Though Gamblet doesn't have the right one, I will say he is correct, because he said strategy guide. It is the one from a real store, not the one in the game.
I tell you what I can,
Nothing more than that.
Obvious, it's a book and can't say anything other than what's in its pages.
I am nothing like my brothers,
not a single little bit.
This strategy guide doesn't really tell you a whole lot in the way of specifics - at all - unlike the strategy guides for other Final Fantasies.
My partner is gone -
he's moved on for good.
The "partner" was the PlayOnline code system, but with FFXI, the entire system was scrapped, and hasn't come back since.
Now you must consult others,
to know what I should
be able to tell you,
but I could say no more.
To get what really should have been in the strategy guide, you need to look online now at like GameFAQs or something like that.
A failed experiment,
an incomplete archive of lore.
This type of guide really sucked and was a horrible attempt at getting us online, and the last line, of course, refers to how incomplete it is.
