This guide helped me do every single thing in this game except getting Kimahri's final weapon. This book does not help colourblind folk with distinguishing red and blue butterflies on a purple backdrop.

4.5/5 game; I remember ppl being like this game isn't that good and it's p anti-religion so I never played it till this spring, and it ended up being p good storywise and musicwise - I think the idea is more anti-dogma, or determining the validity of values/ideas for yourself which isn't necessarily mutually exclusive w/ above

Gameplay-wise though it's p linear so in that sense eh; I wish ppl could appreciate the story w/o the gameplay, which isn't horrible but 90s-era grinding, which is funny to hear about from other zoomers (game sold p well). You're pretty much hardlocked from finishing the story (past Sin) except if you 1) Grind your soul out for ~10+ hours 2) Followed a guide and realized you had to go back at the very start of the game to get a super powerful Aeon 3) Learn from multiple guides to do this stupidly strict chocobo game to get mix of 9999 (me from midnight to 5AM lol, it was kinda fun though which is why there's something wrong with me)

Anyway, it's funny how I hated Tidus' design initially bc he likes a jock but I end up liking the jock a lot by the end, I mean he's supposed to contrast w/ the traditional Yuna anyway

Also it's cute how Tidus love-hates his dad. R/asianparentstories lol "Your parent's don't love you"

4-star review for a 10/10 game.... one of the greatest video games ever made and arguably the best Final fantasy games.

Stunning artwork and a guide that doesn't spoil any of the brilliant stories. It is a game with so many secrets that is a useful reference for those 100 percenters.

Great guide! It helped me for everything I wanted or needed to do in the game! I love that it tells you where all the primers are too! And how to get through some of the tedious mini games!

Some say some things should be 'obvious' but a lot of people don't consider things like using reflect on Seymour (or even consider to have Yuna with reflect by that point).

I loved this guide however!
