White Knight Chronicles Signature Series Strategy Guide (Signature Series Guide)

Comment: This is the worst strategy guide I've ever experienced. I'm not going to repeat everything that other reviewers have said, but I'll make a brief list of the issues.

No information on where to find materials or treasures.
The maps are the exact same ones shown in-game, doesn't show treasures.
No information about online play and the quest guides are terrible.
The walkthrough has no detail and is difficult to follow at times.
Full of spelling and grammatical errors. Gives wrong information.
There seem to be entire paragraphs missing because it skips around at some places.

I would not recommend this guide. You can find better information online for free.

Comment: things that are in the game is missing in the guide and what's in it is not in the game cause my son plays the game and has to look somewhere else for info. and his friend online helps him so it was a waste of good money for my son to buy it thru me cause the hole guide is wrong...brady games should refund the money paid for this guide cause it is all full of wrong info in it..

Comment: The only thing this guide gives is the locations of various Georama members so you can find them quickly. Otherwise it's no help at all.

Comment: I have to agree with the other reviews written so far for this strategy guide. While the written walkthrough is perfectly fine, the text often references the included maps, almost always incorrectly matching up a grid number (for example, A3) with the actual location on the map. Also, there are various points numbered on the maps, but no key or reference anywhere indicating what the numbers mean. Incredibly frustrating.

Clearly, the guide was written and published in haste, and is incomplete in its current state. Don't drop your cash on this; find an online guide instead. It's not totally useless, but the information is often wrong.

Comment: Though the walkthrough portion of the guide is sufficient, there are a few areas that lack any of the detailed information I was looking for:

Skill Charts
The only information in this part of the guide that cannot be found in-game is the pre-requisites for each skill. Even this information is not organized in a very useful manner, presented as text in a chart alphabetized by skill rather than listed as they are in-game. Detailed information that one would get upon purchasing a skill, such as the strength of each skill or their Action Chip costs, is nowhere to be found.

Materials
The numerous charts in the guide take up many pages, but all lack one very important element: where they can be found! Instead they've decided to include the short descriptions, which are not helpful in any way. If a player wanted to farm these materials, they would need to scan through the lengthy bestiary instead.

Stats
All throughout the walkthrough section there are tips regarding what skills to purchase, many times including stats such as vitality, dexterity, etc. Nowhere in the entire guide is any thorough explanation of what these stats mean, how they effect gameplay, or what advantages one character has over another.

Maps
The maps included along with the walkthrough are exact replicas of the large map you can see in-game, and have no added icons marking treasures, gather points, or larger enemies. This makes them just about useless.

Though the walkthrough is useful, anyone who wishes to find out some of the more detailed information about this game would be wise to instead reference the White Knight Chronicles Neoseeker wiki. It is a work in progress, but will eventually have much of the information lacking in this strategy guide.
