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

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

    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

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    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....

    It sounds like it will redeem the terrible VP2 guide.

    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.
