Final Fantasy VII: Ultimate Strategy Guide : Unofficial (The Final Fantasy Series)

This is a terrible guide. There isn't enough info on how to get all the rare materia. It doesn't mention that if you master a materia, you will get another with 0 AP. It doesn't talk about the Ancient Forest or Cactus Island. It even says "Ifrit-Ice damage to all foes". Can't the author tell the difference between Ifrit and Shiva!

I thought this was a decent book. It has a good walkthrough, which I need. But, I think I will have to buy the official guide for help with playing the game (ie., keyboard, materia, weapons use, etc.)

I for one have played FF7 countless times. This unnofficial guide did have a good walkthrough. It really helped me get through the game... But it lacked many important things.Unlike the Official FF7 Strategy Guide it lacked detailed boss information and weaknesses. It did not show how to defeat the Ruby and Emerald Weapons. Plus it didn't even show the easy way to get a gold chocobo. I have stated that this guide has a satisfactory walkthrough. I wouldn't recommend it. If I were a prospective buyer I would stick with the official strategy guide!
