One of the best Final Fantasy guides ever made!!!!!

This guide has everything you could possibly want to know about Final Fantasy X. Maps for every area, detailed walkthrough, shop lists for every area, each character's sphere grid, a whole picture of the entire sphere grid, how to get every ultimate weapon. There is a two page list of how to obtain every single ablility for weapons and armor including the No Encounters ability. It really goes into detail about every sidequest and mini-game including Blizball that has pages of Blizball player data for every single player and team. There is an interview with the Squaresoft team about the development and a two-sided poster of Rikku's Overdrive Mix on one side and the entire Sphere Grid on the other side which is also included in the actual guide. I love the pictures and illustrations, it's a very beautiful guide. There are pictures and details about every Aeon and all the abilities that every Aeon can have. There's only one minor flaw with this guide: in the Bestiary section, they don't tell where you see the enemies in the game. And I know that they list all the enemies in the beginning of each section throughout the walkthrough but those lists are a shorter version of the real lists in the back of the guide. For instance, if I just want to know an enemies' HP, it will tell me in that section of the guide, but if I want to know what I will get for Bribing, how much Gil is needed to Bribe, if I want to know if an enemy is immune to Poison or something like that, I have to turn to the back of the guide. That's the only downfall but other than that, the guide is perfect.

Don not be hesitant to buy this cause of the authors horrible guide book he made for IX this one is much better!

Sometimes You Need a Leg Up

Many published guides exist for games that simply do not need umpty dozen slick pages of fan information and a simple-minded walkthrough. These are simply marketing maneuvers to increase profitability. But occasionally, a game comes along that is so complicated and secretive that simply following the linear path may win you the game, but miss the real richness and effort put into it. Final Fantasy X (FFX) is one of those games that come along so rarely, and the possession of this strategy guide will greatly enhance play.Technically, this guide is typical in format. It starts with an introduction to the game, its main characters, and the spiritual forces called Aeons. There is a discussion of the unique system for acquiring enhancing abilities, discussions of weapons and armor, key items, shops, etc. Following the walkthrough are sections on side quests, secrets of the game, how to play blitzball (something I never mastered), an extensive bestiary and some interviews with the creative staff. This is a glossy, 270-page dissertation on the game - an alarming amount of information.The walkthrough itself is quite thorough, complete with the customary maps, illustrations, and directions. The discussion, however, is not always in the best order, creating the possibility that over reliance on the guide may lead the player to make some irritating, but not fatal mistakes. Some of the diagrams for the puzzles are also a bit hazy, perhaps deliberately. In any case, this is a complicated game, and even a guide like this will miss some details. I think this is for the best, actually. It keeps the player from simply connecting the dots.There is a real danger that the extra quests, etc., will lead the player to over-level the characters. It is possible to get to the point that the final series of battles is something of an anti-climax. Keep this in mind when using the guide. Some help is a blessing, but too much can spoil the show. Even so, this is the best resource for extending game play. If you want to squeeze the last few drops of value from the game, this is what you need.

Great Guide

This is a great guide that covers nearly everything in the game; however there are a few things missing, but in an attempt to make up for that there are a few extras as well. This guide gives a comprehensive look into the game, and gives you great directions, but doesn't spoil every little surprise in the game. Sometimes a section will direct you to look up a chart, picture, hint, etc. in the back of the book, but it sure beats having to go online to get more information like in the Final Fantasy IX guide. Overall this is a great guide for someone who is stuck in a spot in the game, or for someone who just wants to play through the game again and get everything that they missed the previous time through the game.

The Best FFX resource

If their are two reviews by me sorry about that I wasn't sure if the other was posted.Anyway, I believe this is the best Final Fantasy guide I've ever seen. It has detailed maps, great walkthrough, boss strategies, and bestiary, plus much more where that came from.The best part about this guide is that there is no referall to playonline every paragraph, and boss strategy. The guide is actually concerned with helping you get through the game rather than trying to get you to explore a new website.The walkthrough is very detailed. Again, they tell you all the objectives and then explain it all. The maps are detailed showing you the location of every item in an area, and if it doesn't than it tells you in the walkthrough. The guide also doesn't spoil the plot and there are no story spoilers in the guide. The walkthrough also has crystal clear screenshots. Also, enemies in an area are listed so you don't have to flip back through to the bestiary all those 100+ pages. Also the maps are right there in the walkthrough rather than in the back of the book.The boss strategies actually help you. They display the HP and AP the boss haves, the amount of damage needed to trigger an overkill, and the weakness, half damage, immunity, absorbtion listing.The bestiary is quite possibly the best I've seen. They list the number of HP it has, they list how much damage you need to do in parenthasis to get an overkill and they list the number of AP the enemy gives. They also list status effects you can do to the boss, and the sensor reading below. Not to mention the items they drop and how much gil it takes to bribe them, and what you can steal. The only problem is that the bestiary doesn't tell you where you can find the enemy to fight him.The guide has a sphere chart and a listing of all the overdrives and what it takes to make each character learn them. The sphere grid pin-points out everything (Ability nodes, HP nodes etc.) so that you may decide what route they take.Every secret is revealed and all the side quest are fully exploited in the guide. Airship passwords revealed, coordnates also revealed.A poster also comes with the guide and shows you the sphere grid on one side, and the Rikku's overdrive Mix chart on the other. Being that the sphere grid is in the guide you should probably put it up on the mixing chart.Secret Aeons and legendary weapons are revealed, and in the back of the book are exclusive interviews with the creators of Final Fantasy X. If you want to learn of the development of FFX look at these interviews.Lastly, the guide completely covers Blitzball! It covers the teams, free agents, and gives you a stats chart for everysingle player of the sport. Letting you know who to hire and you may want to pass up. It tells you of all the Blitzball Basics.Have I left anything out? Well, aside from character bios and overdrive listings this guide is pretty much all you need for FFX. I can't find too many errors in the guide so I'd say that this
