4.5 Stars QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST FF GUIDE EVER!, June 18, 2005

OK, Piggyback Interactive is a company from the UK. They have a really big reputation there. They do a much better job than Prima and Bradygames do, giving you high quality guides with tons of info and crystal clear high-rez screenshots. This guide, is probably one of the greatest Final Fantasy guides ever written. You thought the VERSUS BOOKS FFVII guide was good? Wait until you see this one, it blows the Versus Books FFVII guide out of the water! And that's saying a lot.

The guide is incredibly colorful. Each section giving you a list of all the items, maps and location of all the draw points. Each section is also written with amazing detail! It's almost like the guide is talking to you.

The characters section and items section is also brutally detailed. You'll learn so much about the game it isn't even funny. The bestiary is also more concise and to the point. Honestly, who picked up the Bradygames guide and had to flip back just to learn what all...Read more

this guide basically tells you every little detail a person can ask for. It has a section for items, enemies, weapons, SECRETS, the guide itself, character profiles and every single draw point there is. Included are some very helpful hints that can help you defeat bosses and such. but what i enjoy most about this guide is its organization. everything is easy to find and not scattered everywhere. you wont find a piece of info your looking for in a misplaced area. highly organized and highly recommended. plus it makes a good collectors item. thats also one of the main reasons i bought this.

In conclusion, very organized and helpful. so if your looking for a guide for ff8 this is your best bet!
