Title: Once again, Brady's proven it knows zero about game guides..
Product review: At first glance this guide appears to be great. Lots of information, item locations (sort of), info about the Guardian Forces, etc... However, once you get into playing the game, you realize what a terrible book this truly is. The item placement is not always correct, and even worse is that the maps are all in the back of the book! Now, this wouldn't be a huge problem if Brady had gone a little bit farther and included at least page numbers, but that couldn't be done either. Another problem I had with the book was the one thing that Brady always has, and always will, have; they give plot spoilers continuously! Be careful about reading this book, because Brady does not understand the concept of "give hints, not story." So, if you'd like to know the plot without playing the game, the Bradygames Final Fantasy 8 guide is a great novel.. but as a game guide, it isn't even average. Avoid at all costs.
