Rating:  Summary: A must if you plan on doing everything FFVII has to offer! Review: With the help of this guide I have obtained and done everything that is possible in FFVII. It would probably have been virtually impossible to complete this game in it's entirety without the help of this guide. All of the sidequests are outlined to perfection and there is a lot of detail included on how to finish it all. The highly informative strategies for the two hardest bosses in the game are also great if you really want to "complete" the game. THis is a must have if you plan to finish this classic.
Rating:  Summary: Great guide, learn it ALL!!!!! Review: This book is wonderfully written and takes you step by step through the biggest RPG in video game history. All Materia All Characters and secret characters All Weapons All Armor All Items All Sidequests And it is ALL step by step. A great guide to complete this great game.
Rating:  Summary: If you can't find absolutely everything... Review: This is a great book. It helps when you get stuck with a tough boss, it helps when you're doing side quests, and it helps when playing the game a second (or third) time. I used to think this was like cheating, but the book is good enough to go with the great game. There's even little things like, "How Cloud got his buster sword." Maybe I'm biased because the game is so good, but it's worth it to have a guide for this game.
Rating:  Summary: Excelent :D :D Review: This guide was very useful, and as long as you didn't read ahead, there were no spoilers. The character intro was very useful and full of helpful hints. i.e."Aeries is the closest thing this game has to being a dedicated mage. So you'll want to keep her in the back row, loaded down with materia." Also, it has an in depth walkthru, realtime boss stratergies, and a list of every single spell/item/armor/weapon. Very useful. Over all, I give this guide a 5/5. It has everything a guide should have. Did I mention the screen shots? And the limited edition Squaresoft art?
Rating:  Summary: Leaves much to be desired Review: I will not claim to be a master of final fantasy VII, because I am not. Speaking as a person who has not mastered every materia or defeated ruby or emerald weapon. However, it is true that i have gone through FFVII a total of 15 times (thats a lot), and my best time is 14 hrs and 36 mins, so i have some good stratagies for beating this game. The first 3 times I beat final fantasy, I used this guide a lot, and after that I only referenced it for Chocobo breeding. Now there are a fer main things that this guide lacks that are essential to the game. 1: There is no section on how to level up your limit breaks -for those who don't know, you use the first limit in a level ten times and then when you get the second you kill 80 enemies with anything ACCEPT SUMMONING SPELLS. (NOTE: for vicent you just have to kill 60 enemies at each level, and for cait sith, i think you have to kill 120 enemies before you get slots.) (Thanks to my cousins David and Ryan, without whom i would not know this) 2: Enemy readouts are totally unreliable. I went to reference monsters countless times only to discover inaccurate HP numbers, items dropped, items morphed, weaknesses, etc. While bosses were for the most part accurate, the guides to boss fights were hardly definitive (you can come up with much better stratagies on your own). 3: THIS BOOK IS FILLED TO THE MAX WITH SPOILERS. Being as I'm complaining about this I won't reveal anything, but trust me there are a lot of them. 4: Bone village treasure hunting is almost entirly ignored. (nuff said). 5: The Chocobo breeding section is mediocre, only facts not strategy. You could find much better unofficial guides, or better yet online FAQ guides! So, don't waste your money.
Rating:  Summary: Gets you through the game but not perfect Review: This strategy does help you a lot but it leaves out a lot like battling the side quest monsters (the WEAPONS). You could really use help on these guys!
Rating:  Summary: Very disappointing Review: I would have given this higher marks were it not for its horrible plot-spoiling. I bought the strategy guide at the same time as the game, didn't get around to playing the game until over a year later. I'd be fighting a boss, and pause the game to turn the page and see how bad the next event would be, and all of a sudden I'd see some horrible spoiler and it would ruin the entire surprise for me. With the FFVIII guide, whenever there was a long sequence of plot developing events, it would just say something like "You go to such-and-such place and discuss with your team." With the FFVII guide, it tells you exactly what is said and what twists the plot makes. Horrible. As for telling you where items are, it does a near-perfect job of that, and also the maps are good too. But by the time I got to Disc 3, I was relying on this book only for maps and using an online walkthrough for the rest of it. Only buy it if you're REALLY desperate.
Rating:  Summary: Really Great Review: This Book is awesome. Few things wrong with it (but every book does) I have no problem finding the places or things. I get confused in the storyline of the game but thats not the books fault. The only problem i have with it is it does not tell me how to deafeat the American creatures. And some of the ememy's info is wrong. Other wise it is perfect. I recommend it to every one.
Rating:  Summary: Ultimate guide for FF7 Review: Need I say more? This is the best guide out there for Final Fantasy 7, and is much more clearer and easier to read than most of the homemade walkthroughs that exist on the net. If you love the game and want more out of it, definatelt pick up this guide.
Rating:  Summary: It's good, but... Review: not only does it give you the entire walkthrough, but it also reviews the whole plot and what's going to happen! When I first got the game and this strategy book, I was flipping through it ... and it totally ruined it for me. If you do actually flip through the book like I did, you'll see other events as well. Anyway, that's about the only thing I didn't like about this book, it told you the whole story basically. .. I didn't even need to spend [money] for the ... game, I could've just bought this strategy and I would've known what happened, the whole story, ect...If you guys really want an awesome strategy guide, try VersusBooks, they're awesome. They give you an entire walkthrough, all the secrets and the best part, they don't spoil it for you like this book does. ... I went through the whole book before playing the game to see what it was about and it revealed nothing about the plot. And for an added bonus, the author of this book is super funny, he'd throw in a joke here and there; it was funny. The artwork is great too. Anyway, hopes this helps.
