3.0 out of 5 stars Other Stratagy Guides, April 29, 1999

By A Customer

I have bought FF7 stratagy guide, and I found out another book that is much better. In the Official guide, it left out some tidbits, and also didn't give you many killer materia combos. In the Unofficial, not only does the unofficial tell of ALL the correct monsters, their morphs, their HP, and MP! It also gives you a nifty poster too, and you can get it for about $10.00. It also tells you of 100's of materia combos, and alot of them were not mentioned in the Official guide. Just wanted to say that. The crusial How-to's, and all that were just fine in the Official guide, but was put together rather slopely.

2.0 out of 5 stars I suggest the Official Guide., May 19, 1999

By A Customer

The guide is ok, but it has no pictures. On bosses the official guide gives a lot of information. In this guide they just have a few sentences. I liked the guide for it's in depth information on the bosses MP and HP. BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER THAT MUCH. I notice that some of the comments indicate that the official guide leaves some information out, but I think differently. The guide is alright, but as the official guide says,"don't settle for anything less. Get ALL the secrets straight from Squaresoft".

5.0 out of 5 stars A really cool guide!!!!, April 6, 2002

A Kid's Review

I read this guide ...and thought it was brilliant. It gives you recomended Levels and told you how to get all the ultimate weapons including Cloud's Ultima Weapon (which it just got the evening!) I don't really mind that it doesn't have guides on what monsters you can morph into items and nick things from because I could just look at the site "Cheatplanet" or even find out for myself! I've read other reviews and people complain that there are no pictures in this guide but hardcore Final Fantasy gamers wouldn't care.
The Materia Guide was very accurate so it helped me quite a lot.

Overall I thought this was an excellent guide eventhough it had some minor faults. I would heavily consider buying this off amazon.com. ... I thought I would never finish this game. (I still haven't, yet. I'm going to try to tomorrow.)
