By	D. Knutson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would rate this one of the worst strategy guides ever. The guide says it details a walkthrough to each ending, full job descriptions, moves and attributes of every weapon, and a list of all items as well as area maps. First I want to say that my problem is not so much what is in this guide as what is not. Starting with the endings, yes it has detailed walkthroughs to 11 endings. However there are 14 endings, so not all endings in the game have walkthroughs in this guide. The "full job descriptions" are not full at all. There are at least 10 missions I have found that are not listed. Also, information that you would want about the missions, such as locations to look for items, are left out of the guide. It basically tells you to figure it out for yourself (I thought that is why I bought the guide). The moves and attributes of every weapon are listed mostly, however I have found at least one sword that is not listed in this list (and this belongs to a main character). Also one very key attribute is not listed, the stance of the sword. This guide gives very bad advice for fighting in this game as well as some information that is just plain wrong. It seemed to me that they started to try and make a good guide but just decided to do one of the most half a$$ed jobs I have ever seen. I could expound more about the flaws in this guide but I think you get the point. I get better info from gamefaqs.com. Oh yeah, there is an item list that has every item, however it has some information that is false about some of the items and the item headings are wrong for many Items (one of those things you notice after playing it a few times).
