I love collecting strategy guides

[Crossblades]

Also a list of all the weapons and stuff or in a game like Tales of Symphonia with all the different abilities everyone can learn, it's a very useful reference.

Ah yes, I own that guide as well

I have some of the FF games guides (Tactics Adv., CC, FF7, FF8, FFX, FFX-2), but these 4 (see attached pic) are my favorites.

I've not read the whole thread, just the first post, so I don't know if someone's already mentioned this, but is there a guide for FFVI?!

I only have a guide for FFIX. I only really buy a guide after I've completed the game. Then I can go through the game & collect everything the second time around. I've never really bothered about getting a guide for VII or VIII. As for the other Final Fantasy's, I only have VI, VII, VIII & IX.. I haven't had time to buy the other FF's.

That guide has so many spelling mistakes in it.

The Final Fantasy IX Strategy Guide is probably the worst, most useless published strategy guide I've ever seen in my life.

Seconded.

I own 2 strategy guides, but i dont use them, it came with the games.I like using my brain to figure out stuff.The only time I can rember using a guide is cause crash needed my help for something, and wanted me to use the guide.

I have lots of guides. I only buy guides for the games i have or games i plan on getting. And only ones that are in english and i can read.

I've found piggyback to be alot better than Brady games but my only expierience with brady games is the FFVII guide and some game boy games. Id love to own some of those guides though. I like drawing the artwork from the games.

Whats piggyback? a guide company?

Yes, Piggy backs Authorised Collection. They're more selective about what games they make guides for. I dont know if theyre sold outside of Europe but they seem better made than the Brady games guides. I get more of an "official" feel from them. I have theyre guide for VIII, IX, X, X-2 and Kingdom Hearts.

BradyGames went way up in quality in 2001 or so. Since then, they've been putting out well-designed comprehensive guides, often containing extraordinary amounts of information. They're still known to make an occasional mistake, but that's to be expected when a guide is so inclusive.

I'll try pciking one up myself. Not that I thought FFVII's guide was bad or anything of the sort. It just wasnt as detailed in several categories as my piggyback guides and they were all much newer. I havent seen a Brady game guide since then except in stores and I havent given them much detail.

Think you can provide me scans of that FF IX guide if possible?

Well I can try taking photos of it with a digital camera but I dont have a scanner. Its old enough and may be becoming a collectors item so it might be hard to find pictures of the inside online.

[Crossblades]

Take pics please with your digital camera. I really want to see how it looks on the inside

Alright, here you go.
