On July 7 Prima Games released a collection of guides of all the numbered Final Fantasy Playstation era games. This hardcover collection comes in a magnetic-closure case, and includes 3 lithographs, one from each game.
Early reviews from Amazon show that the guides are not up to snuff. If you're familiar with game guides, you know they're notorious for errors, and according to online commentators (by far the most trustworthy of people) these are riddled with them. If that's the case, this is unfortunate.
One may even question why is Prima releasing this? If the copy editing is as poor as reported, it could be a rush job after the announcement of the Final Fantasy VII remake (to get in on any recent renewed interest in Final Fantasy VII or the other Playstation games). It could as well be due to the re release of Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII on Steam. But then, why add Final Fantasy IX? It's interesting that a game that has no announced re release is getting a re released guide.
In spite of any negative reviews, if you're a collector, or one who can overlook such errors as Red XIII's bio being where Vincent's should be, this still may interest you. Below are links to Prima's site, as well as convenient Amazon links.
