People like to complain about spoilers but how can you buy a game guide and not expect spoilers to be in it? If you don't like spoilers quit complaining and do the game yourself. This guide is excellent in that it contains locations of numerous items (window/sound sets), lists of character unites and lists of where to recruit all 108 stars as well as nonstars among other things. The guide part of course contains spoilers but only because it tells you how to beat the game. This guide is definatly worth it if you want to know how to have a perfect game.

After reveiwing this book and playing the game I am proud to say it is worth your money to buy!With the return of the 108 stars of desnity and a new Hero,you may build your homeland as you see it fit.In an ending line,I think if you are a real into RPGs then this is the game for you.

First the good news-it lists all 108 plus recruitable characters and how to get them. Lists of items plus secret items.Diffrent unit attacks a map of the HQ and all of the secrets. And the bad news--if you like RPG's for the storyline dont't read this book! It's one BIG spoiler... And I hate when a book does that.

The chief complaint that others seem to have about this book is that there are spoilers in places. Well, this is true, but they could be much more intrusive than they actually are. None of the big plot twists were spoiled by what little narrative Hollinger includes, which is really necessary to allow the reader to follow instructions.

And the spoiler content is really irrelevant -- what matters is that the book is excellent in all other respects. Its breakdown of where to find the 108 stars is thorough and helpful, as are its careful explanation of how to get each ending, its list of the recipes for the cooking mini-game and its timetable for the Clive/Elza subquest. Beyond that, there are a lot of gorgeous color pictures and complete dungeon maps, which are always a big plus.

Overall, this is a guide I wouldn't want to be without.

This has to be the best guide i have ever used it gives you detalis,info,maps,how to get the 108 stars of destiny,and more. in this guide you will find everything your looking for.so if i had to choose a guide of the year nodoubt this guide would take victory.

this is a must have for suikoden II, and isn't too much of a spoiler either

Ok this was the best Strategy guide since the original Suikoden's. I have to agree with others that there are spoilers but that is what a strategy guide does! It tells you what to do and that can spoil it! If you don't want spoilers don't get any strategy guide. The only strategy guides without spoilers are fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Pokemon Stadium.

this has to be the best guide on the earth.it helps and gives information that you can use step by step.also its no spolier you have to find that out on the game.so if you don't have a copy i strongley suggest that you do.

Yes...same person. Different addy. :p

Oh....and I like the thick paper the book uses.

This was actually the most impressive guide Prima has done in a while. Tells where/how to get each of the 108 stars, full maps (thank you!), strategies, and even lists which foods are best and worst during the cookoffs! However... the spoilers, which Prima has become famous for, are littered throughout this book. You can pick up the strategy guide and just read it instead of playing the game... the experience is quite similar! And no, a game guide does -not- need spoilers to be great... look at any Versus Books strategy guide, and you can tell that. So please Prima... make us gamers happy and get rid of the spoilers! It is -not- that hard (and to read about someone's death/betrayal/killing another/whatever in game is annoying!!)
