Summary: Great...BUT...
Review: This is a great one, but I advise you to buy the Playstation version (the original one) instead of the PC one, even if you have the PC game. My reasons? Listen up.1) The playstation version is excactly the SAME, with the control keys adjusted to the playstation keys. Really...it doesn't take long to figure out which playstation keys match the ones on your keyboard, and then it's a breeze the rest of the way. 2) The playstation version is CHEAPER...by a LOT. Isn't that enough? 3) The playstation version's pictures are BIGGER, BETTER, and *very* colorful. Each page is packed with color. Much more than the PC version one has. 4) Playstation version may be taller, but it's not as DARN THICK as the PC version is. That thing is *thick*! You can kill someone with it. The thing is, they both offer the EXACT same information...it's just that the PC version's book was not as tall and wide. 5) The playstation version is overall prettier and easier to use. You don't have to worry about the pages not staying down while you play or about dropping the book on your foot and breaking it. (your foot, not the book!) My advice? GET THE PLAYSTATION VERSION! I own a PC Final Fantasy VIII and I still use the playstation guide. ^___^ Yay! - Aeris Flower

Summary: Chatroom Conqueror's Official Review of the FF8 Guide
Review: its good, but its mission placement was confusing, but neverless good. its lists of spells were helpful including the Elementals. the enemies stated in the guide were informative and had a way of beating them. one last thing... the battle against Ultimecia needed to be included in the guide in case the player keeps on failing. that is all.

Summary: Some Incomplete Information
Review: I wont totally make this strat guide seem horrible, but i do think that david cassidy did a better job on the ff7 guide. this guide was lacking in many things. i usually got lost at some points becuase he barely told you where to go, and the pictures didnt show much. this guide was pretty much boring. there wasnt much to be known about. maybe it was just the game, i do not know, but somehow this wasnt all that great of a guide. but, please do buy it, its proably the best guide for ff8 out there anyway. Now, onto the good things about this guide, the strategic ways of him telling us how to defeat the bosses were pretty good, giving use the answers for the seeD tests were awesome (>_-) and tips on the card game was great, without that part, id be losing ever card match that i tried. But all in all this was a OKAY guide. FF7 was a lot better, but this will do. (his parasite eve one wasnt great either...)

Summary: Final Fantasy VIII
Review: This game was totally awesome. The graphics were out of this world. The gameplay kept you playing all through the night. The characters were so realistic it wasn't even funny. I mean felt like I was the main character in the game.

Summary: It is ok but a Prima Book Would have been Much better
Review: This book was ok,but as with most Brady game guides it is mediocre at best.I usually only use Brady guides as a last resort as prima books usually have a straight through easy to follow walk through. This book could have been a lot better.This is not worth full price I reccommend getting one used.

Summary: In comparson to ff7 guide
Review: The book is good, but it could have been alot better. The maps were in a different section, which requires alot of page flipping when your lost. Puting the maps in a different section was a stupid idea. they didn't show the monsters stats on the side, like they did in ff7, which again means alot of page flipping. It's not as apealling as the ff7 stratigy guide was either.

Summary: This is the BEST FFVIII guide out of ALL the FFVIII guides
Review: This is the way all RPG guides should be. Okay the area maps were in the back, don't need them. It spoils the plot big whoop, every guide spoils the plot. Even the VERSUS BOOKS FFVII guide spoiled the plot! The oilboyles and Ultima weapon, HP listings were wrong, can you say bestiary? It isn't going to kill you to flip some pages to a bestiary. If you can't do that then you must be lazier then my dead dog. Unlike all you people who are just so frickin lazy to turn the page or about 90 or so pages GIVE ME A BREAK! It'll only take 5 minutes out of your life! You people give me a ****ing break here!

Summary: Almost speechless
Review: The 2 page spread on how to defeat Omega Weapon, the walkthroughs with minimal errors or spoilers, and all boss fight tips and tricks...what's not to love? Well let's start off with the cances of getting items, yes it's there, yes it's helpful nut do we really care about the ratio? It was helpful yet frustrating to see the maps in the back as well...it seemed to have almost no organizational pattern what-so-ever, save lunatic pandora. This guide helped only in optional sections and maybe the Draw guides. Otherwise a die hard fan couldv'e figured ir out on their own...but at least this was a much better improvement than on the ff7 guide. And one last beef, no PocketStation comments...Energy crystals are the absolute hardest things to find, besides a power generator, play on a PocketStation for a minute or 2 and you got yourself a buttload of energy crystals. Also, before I bought the PocketStation, it wouldv'e been nice to know that you CANNOT find a Mog's Amulet or a Friendship item without it. Saved me 20 hours on the second run through. Next time say it from what you want to see, not what the item help screen says.
