Summary: Better then the first edition, yet still fails in some areas
Review: Having originally purchased the first edition of this guide for the playstation. I decided to pick this one up to see how it was compared to the other. The first edition was sometimes hard to follow and included half of the interesting tricks near the back of the book, so by the time you looked back there, those goals were unacheivable.This guide is definently much easier too follow, and it doesn't spoil the game like the other one. I am a little upset that it doesn't teach you how to beat the last boss. But overall it is a well written guide that helps you more than the first. However there are some problems, first of all, why is it comepletly in black and white? Only the maps are in color, and they've been shoved in the back. However, I recomend this guide if you are stuck in one of the greatest games ever made.

Summary: THIS BOOK CAN MESS UP YOUR FFVII EXPERIENCE BADLY
Review: BE WARNED! This Guidebook contains a MONUMENTAL amount of errors. Do not expect to obtain all of the goodies in the game using this book. This book is merely a recitation of the sequence of events in the game. I do not recommend this book unless all you care about is beating the game. This book WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT help you get the games coolest items like the Sneak Attack Materia, Sprint Shoes, Superball, Flayer, and MANY others that the author so conveniently omited. Nearly every other item in this book is mispelled, incorrectly described, or completely erroneous. The only positive thing about the book are the maps, however the items are not all properly labeled for easy reference. I would only use this guidebook for maps, use gamefaqs.com for ALL other information. Since the maps are the ONLY good thing about this guide I give it a 1star/ 5.

Summary: OK, but....
Review: This Book was very helpfull, but I have several complaints about it. First of all, the List of enemies in the back of the book is COMPLETELY unreliable, for example: Master Tonbery has 44,444 HP, not 8000, and he can be morped into a Ribbon. The little cactus men on Cactuar Island can be morphed into Tetra Elemantals, and ALL the enemies on the crashed Gelinka can be morphed into sorces. It also doesn't tell you where to get certain materias, or states it incorrecly. Final Attack is obtained by defeating the Boss Battle at the battle Square, not the Chocobo Races. Also, whats with the tissues, 1/35 sinra armored attack soldiers, autograpghs, Dio's Diaries, etc. The only good thing about this strategy Guide is that it has near perfect maps (some areas were missed, like the hidded romm in the Great Glaciers) IT ALSO RUINS THE STORY LINE, WHICH IS WHAT RPGS ARE ALL ABOUT. Buy it only if you are completly stuck, or go online. There are much better guides online, plus their free. Ok, I think thats it. And OZZY RULES!

Summary: Excellent book with execellent snapshots from the game
Review: I played FFVII three times. The latest time I installed a Voodoo3 card and the game runs fantastic in full screen. Everytime I play I refer to the Guide more or less. I bought another book too. It turned out only like two pages on that book contains valuable information comparing with the Official Guide. Don't exactly follow the book while playing the game though. And there are some minor mistakes that you'll know when you become a veteran, such as you can get to the Acient forest to get the valuable Apocalypse as soon as you breed a Black Chocobo. You don't have to wait to defeat the Ultimate Weapon. Lots of useful tricks are coverd in the book too. About breeding Chocobo, you may need to find more info on the web.

Summary: Simply ranks at the top of must-haves for all RPG fans.
Review: If you grade yourself as an RPG fan, and have not heard of Final Fantasy VII, then you might as well have not been born. What more can I say about the game? Despite some people having technical problems loading the game, it simply "rocks this joint". Anyhow, on the book, it is simply too good to be true. The amount of comprehensive information to be found is simply amazing. Even if you are new to the game and do not wish to have spoilers lowering your "fun" value, you will still find it truly informative. Just exercise a little self-control and skip the walkthrougs. But be warned. Approach this book with a pinch of salt. Don't think EVERYTHING is going to be handed over to you on a silver platter. So don't go pointing fingers at David just because you find insufficient Materia combos listed, or strategies. Use your initiative. Anything is possible. You are the master of your own game. For your info, I am currently working on the Lucky 7s combo. Email to me and I will send the combo as and when I figure it out. It's not too hard, really. Anyway, here's to you guys, simply a work of art, and I am not only talking about the game.

Summary: WORST GUIDE EVER
Review: David Cassady has no respect for his readers, and it shows in this most awful guide. The guide gives EVERYTHING (and I do mean absolutely everything, i.e.: end of Disc One) away, story-wise. Why? The only reason I could come up with is to pretty the pathetic content up. When you have so many screenshots of the game and the CG movies it distracts you from what is otherwise a lackluster excuse for a guide. As already mentioned, enemy stats are wrong, about 50% of the secrets are missing, fighting "strategies" are useless, and it lacks simple information one would expect out of a guide like this, like enemy skills.
The biggest contrast is seen when this garbage is compared against the most excellent Versus Books guide by Casey Loe. It is like night and day. That guide spoiled nothing and actually gave you secrets and everything you needed to know. If you can find it, consider yourself lucky. So good that Cassady actually completely aped its style for FFVIII's "official" (read: money-driven trash) guide.
Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this guide as possible; avoid it like the plague and destroy one if you have the chance. And someone stop David Cassady already, for crying out loud.

Summary: Final Fantasy 7
Review: This game is good. I know the graphics suck. I know the ending sucks even more (hey i did put four; didn't I?).But with all its imperfections it is still a great game and probably one of the best FF's. Thank you for reading my short review, if you ever did.
