Summary: I don't know what you fools are talking about...
Review: ...because I think that the strategy guide is quite useful. You would have to be a buffoon to need actual STRATEGIES to win the battles - this is not the intended purpose. However, knowing that the marquis has an entire complement of Genji armor, which otherwise cannot be found, makes the gaming experience much more enjoyable. Also, knowing WHERE to find Cloud's materia blade, without which he cannot perform any special attacks, is quite nice. I guess I COULD complain that Square put these things into the game in order to get us to buy strategy guides, but hey, that's not a complaint against the GUIDE, right?
All in all, I found the guide useful, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get everything possible out of the game. However, if you need the guide simply to get through the battles, well, maybe you should switch to another game, like Candy Land.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT GUIDE
Review: A very good guide. tells how to win every battle and says where all the hidden treasures are. but one thing about this guide is that it just falls apart. i HAD the guide now i cant find anymore. it just fell apart on me. all the pages just fell right out. but it still is the best guide on the game you can buy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not exactly the Great White Hope...
Review: Final Fantasy Tactics is a game where you have to use tactics. You have to THINK. You can't expect a book to do your thinking for you. The guide's strategies are a joke anyway.
WHat is usefule, however, is some of the job descriptions and the other million details you want for a perfect file. However, be warned--there are many inaccuracies and errors. Besides, you usually find better information on the net anyhow.

Buy it if you're a die-hard FFT fan, too dumb to think of a good strategy, too lazy to bother yourself to think, or don't have internet access (then why are you here? hmm...). Otherwise, you don't really need color maps and fancy fonts, now do you?

Summary: Great
Review: I got the stratagy guide almost the earliest day possible. I hope to do business with this person in the future.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Useful, yet inaccurate!
Review: I wouldn't argue that this book is very useful. Without it, it will take me a lot longer to finish the game. However, I found that there are many mistakes. For example, the number of units to be used in each battle, the number of teams. The battle map inaccurately display the location of item just because it misplaces the x and y coordinated. Many information I needed cannot be found in this book. Comparing with other strategy guides I have read, this book is the least organized.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is the best for detailed guidance in tough places.
Review: Prima's always been goodm to me and proves the same in this guidebook. Final Fantasy Tactics is a hard game to play without knowing what to do. This book tells you all the secrets, all the strategys, and everything you could possibly want to know about the game! I couldn't get pass the third battle without it! This guide is spectacular and can give you the edge in the game without spoiling the fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finding rare items
Review: The book is great if you are an easy reader but the book is not that accurate on the move-find item movement ability it just gives you a set of coordinates and then you have to find the spot yourself, they could have included a graph of the map with grids that have been labeled with the coordinates.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You're gonna need a stapler...
Review: This book is a strategy guide. What else can I say? We've all seen strategy guides before. The thing that makes this book great for this AMAZING game is the "suggested battle formations" on each battle map. Outstanding. Works every time.

But you WILL need a stapler. Im not kidding. The binding is TERRIBLE! Everyone I know has had their book completely fall apart at the seam. Read the other reviews...you'll see.

But this IS an indispensible guide to one of my ALL time favorite games. The best game (in my humble opinion) to carry the name Final Fantasy. Thats saying ALOT. And this book is the only "official" strategy guide Ive found that didnt dissappoint me.

Summary: One of the most helpful things on earth.
Review: This is a great strategy guide with full-color, detailed maps for every battle. There are minor spelling mistakes and translation errors, but that is expected with every strategy guide. In all my years of role playing, I've never come across a guide that is 100% accurate. The biggest problem is the binding for this book is terrible. The book will fall apart in no time, but it's still worth it. It's nothing a little tape won't take care of. Gea!
