Summary: Great Guide
Review: This is a great guide that covers nearly everything in the game; however there are a few things missing, but in an attempt to make up for that there are a few extras as well. This guide gives a comprehensive look into the game, and gives you great directions, but doesn't spoil every little surprise in the game. Sometimes a section will direct you to look up a chart, picture, hint, etc. in the back of the book, but it sure beats having to go online to get more information like in the Final Fantasy IX guide. Overall this is a great guide for someone who is stuck in a spot in the game, or for someone who just wants to play through the game again and get everything that they missed the previous time through the game.

Summary: good but not PERFECT
Review: BradyGames is an OK guide company but not NEARLY as good as PrimaGames or VersusBooks... It has an average walkthrough but a really good blitzball section and ok sidequest part. if either of the other 2 books were for FFX they would probably be a little more perfect. Anyway if your really stuck on something just get it because it still can help alot.

Summary: Solid as always
Review: As a big fan of the FF series I am rarely without my trusty stategy guide while plowing through the game. Most people enjoy playng the game and discovering things on there own and I generally do that but the FF series and Square create such a massive game that it is so tough to find everything. And when I play these games I wat to do EVERYTHING. So if you are like that then you gotta have the guide. It isn't quite as extensive as some of the previous versions guides as in it doesn't give very detailed walkthroughs but overall it is thourough enough to aid you in your quest.

Summary: It lacks in depth information
Review: I have Bradygames FFX OSG and Digicube's Scenerio and Battle Ultimanias for FFX. After reading through Digicube's and Bradygames' guides, I recommend Digicube's vastly superior guides for die hard FF fans who want to know everything there is to FFX.Here are some instances that exemplify the contrasting differences. Affection levels, and how they trigger certain scenes are not clearly explained. Scenerio Ultimania has covered this whereas FFX OSG only tells you it can happen, but not how. Criteria and condtitons to be met are simply left out in FFX OSG. Customisation of weapons and armour do not have lists that shows their names after the process. The maps are confusing in comparison to Ulitmania. Furthermore, maps from Bradygames only show direction, treasure chests and save points. Ultimania's maps shows all the above, and where events take place as well as location of recruitable Blitzball players. Lulu's Overdrive is not clearly explained. Battle Ultimania has a graph chart showing how many times you need to turn the right analogue stick to trigger x amount of spells. Certain spells have limits of 7 (Ultima), even though you turn the analogue stick 25-29 times. Brady Games' guide only tell you to turn the right analogue stick and not how many times is needed, how stats affect the number of turns on your right analouge stick (higher stats=lesser number of turns for same amount of mulitiple casting), nor which spells have limits to mulitiple castings. Kimahri's "Ronso Rage" and its blue monster magic also lacks details. Ultimania shows a list of all the blue magics and which monsters allow Kimahri to learn from. Bradygames' tells you ocassionally which monsters you can draw skills from in its walkthrough section. Digicube released two books to cover FFX. In the past for FF VIII, Vagrant Story, and Chrono Cross Digicube released one book. This shows that this time for FFX the amount of information needed to be passed on to gamers is too large for a single guide to handle. Bradygames is too ambitious to try and cover everything they can in one volume. It is good for beginners and intermediate players of the Final Fantasy series who wants to complete the game for leisure but for serious hardcore fans who want to see everything, find every secret and understand the underlying mechanics of FFX, try Ultimania ... or go www.gamefaqs.com to download the missing information in Bradygames' guide. In the final analysis, FFX OSG is good but Ultimania surpasses it in nearly every regard. What FFX OSG has, Ultimania has in its two volume guide. In addition, trememdous amount of relevent, important information can be found in Ultimania whereas sadly, the same can't be said for FFX OSG.

Summary: An Excellent Guide
Review: This guide book is very very useful. It pretty much outlines the hows, wheres, whens, and whys of everything without giving the storyline away. Everything is organized, accurate, and detailed into lists and sections. With the help of this book I found everything and every secret. It also comes with a huge poster of the sphere gride and Rikku's mix combinations, with in itself was worth the price of the book. Buy it with the game, and keep it handy.

Summary: Could be better...
Review: This guide is very good in that it doesnt really spoil the storyline. The only thing I could say that's wrong with it is that the reminders to pick the Al Bhed Primers are really small and hardly noticable. They also could have gone a little more in depth with the weapon capabilites. Other than that, it's the perfect guide for any Final Fantasy diehard.

Summary: amazing... sure have learned from the FF9 Strategy Flaws!
Review: I didnt mind the FF9 strategy guide, i actually thought it was pretty good. It did a good job of taking you through the game. But this strategy guide improves so much upon the last strategy guide. Its one of the nicest, longest, most informative strategy guides to possibly ever come out. Everythings in color, theres a poster in the back of the book, and it has 200 plus pages of information. There's no more annoying "playonline" stuff like there was in FF9... while other strategy guides make you feel like youve been [taken] by their poor quality, and non descriptive information, this one you can be satisfied about. It has a complete, detailed walkthrough with battle tactics, long character descriptions, enemy list, and more. If there is one strategy guide to be worthy of the game, this is it.

Summary: Every Step of the way
Review: This tells me everything to where secrets are to the boses. The first bosses are sooooooo easy but later when they have 60,000 HP in the first form, and have 3 forms, gradually raising it's HP, the guide book comes in quite nicely. Along the pathways there are items you can get for, well nothing, but if you miss them you can pay up to 1,500 or more gil. In other word you should get the book,even though you can beat it with some struggles.
