 excellent, as good as it gets Dec 23, 2000
I haven't seen the "Perfect Guide" by Versus, but I REALLY doubt it could be better than this one. I can't think of 1 thing this guide doesn't have except a list of Enemy Skills, which enemy you get them from, and what they do. However, they do list them in the Enemy List in the back. Other than that, this guide has everything, including all the Ultimate Weapons and Limit Breaks, every kind of Materia and useful combinations, a list of all the enemies, weapons, armors, and accessories, complete strategies to beating enemies, bosses, and mini-games, and anything else I might have missed...oh, yeah, and don't forget how to raise Chocobos and how to get the 4 special kinds. It really couldn't get better than this, and as far as the Enemy Skills go, if you don't like to keep looking in the back of the book, just go online and print a nice list out from a site. Even those skilled and experienced in the "Final Fantasy" series NEED to get a guide, preferably this one or the one by Versus (they make excellent guides, especially for the "Zelda" series), otherwise they'll miss all the secrets and things you would not be able to figure out by yourself. Trust me, GET THIS GUIDE and you'll be able to fully experience the fun of "Final Fantasy VII."

Not for the perfectionist Nov 23, 1999
I'll say that there are parts of the game that would be very difficult to clear without the book. I'll even say that it helps you play an *almost* perfect game. But it misses out on several points. First, the monster guide is in places incomplete or misprinted. My wife and I, through our own work, found out many things that the book just missed. Master Tonberry morphs into a ribbon. A very helpful fact that completely missed the editors. When I finally turn to the book, I'm looking for completeness, and this just fell short.

THE definitive guide on Final Fantasy VII. Aug 09, 1999
One of the most anticipated RPGs ever, Final Fantasy VII is a classic game. A classic game deserves a classic strategy guide, and Brady Games' FF7 guide is nearly unbeatable. Whatever you're looking for or need help on, this book has it.This version of the guide is especially for the PC version of FF7, but I have the PlayStation version and it works just fine with that too. The tips and tactics are solid, the screenshots crisp and clear, and the information on Materia and Chocobos contained in this book is invaluable for gamers ready to master Final Fantasy VII. One complaint that gamers may have with the guide is that in some areas of the game, there isn't really much detail or tips to get you through. Overall, this may be a good thing, because it doesn't give away too much of the story, but for certain areas the guide may just say something along the lines of, "Find the exit, making sure to pick up the items along the way". However, this is the only real situation where this happens. A consise, thick, and well-worth-your-money book, Brady Games' official Final Fantasy VII strategy guide (boy, that's a mouthful) is a must-have for fans of the game, and gamers who want to get the most bang for their buck. --Darryl Da Silva

Excellent Dec 03, 1999
I would recommend this book highly to anyone wanting a good walkthrough to conquer this game. fairly well laid out,paper in the book is of fairly cheap quality (smears if the book is 'fingered through' enough times). It has heaps of pictures and graphics in it, unlike any online walkthrough you'd find. It WAS lacking in some information that would've been useful in defeating bosses though, but nothing that can't be figured out with common sense.

 Too many errors not enough info Nov 22, 1999
By Me
Final fantasy 7 is a great game but this guide won't help you. it has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many errors. One example is it doen't list the info on the ultimate weapons. Where the information should be it is blank. It also leaves out many secrets like the ultimate battle arena. It says to get final attack from chocobo racing but you need to get it from the ultimate battle arena. And lastly it gives away the story. Unfortunatly it is pretty much the only guide out there. So if you need help you might as well buy it.
