Couldn't fit guide in the title ;-;

The Final Fantasy Box Set is a must have for fans of this beloved series.
The set includes hardcover versions of Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX, each comes with a ribbon bookmark and deluxe cover treatment.
Each guide has been redesigned from scratch and updated with new high resolution screen shots. In addition, the set comes with three iconic game images printed for first time as holographic lithographs.
The three holographic prints are secured in a beautiful slipcase with magnetic closure.

Searched but couldn't find anything.

 

[Zee-Row]

These are just guides

.....NINE!?!?!

*twitch*

aw man... finally?

EDIT: They're only guides. I hate you and the mother you came out of

 

[jschreier]

Pretty sure that's a listing for guides, not games.

 

[PixyJunket]

Almost as good as "First Half Life, 3 Screenshots."

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Ahhh, guides x_x

 

[Seven Force]

Those are for guides.

On the upside, a proper FFIX guide would be awesome.

 

[Hayama Akito]

...guides

 

[LuuKyK]

Couldn't fit guide in the title ;-;

lol Seriously?

Couldnt you just use FF BOX instead? There you made up space for the word guide.

 

[CronoShot]

 

[duckroll]

Do you even read the stuff you're sourcing before posting? It's a box set of strategy guides for the 3 games with updated stuff. Not games.

 

[robotzombie]

yes, it would have been so hard to figure out a title that would have included the word "guides"

 

[Amon37]

Guide was probably the most important thing to fit in the title.

 

[Amir0x]

haha, without the word guide in the title, this topic is set to become a hot mess lol

 

[Flandy]

OP Why

 

[Qblivion]

Couldn't fit guide in the title

And yet "for PC, PS3, and Vita" was completely unnecessary...

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Those are for guides.

God, that FF9 guide. I've bought a lot of pointless shit in my life, but that has to be the biggest waste of money ever.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Those are for guides.

On the upside, a proper FFIX guide would be awesome.

agreed, the original was a joke of a guide especially since you had to log into some stupid website for any of the actual information or walkthrough.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I haven't laughed this hard in a while, thanks OP.

 

[Shizuka]

Misleading tittle that should get you banned.

 

[zackmorris]

Why say PC, PS3 and Vita? Where did that even come from?

 

[Takao]

op
i know you did this on purpose
no need to include platforms over the word "guide"

 

[RoboPlato]

Pretty sure you don't need to list the platforms for guides and could have put guide in the title easily without them.

 

[Marow]

H-Huh, why reprint a Final Fantasy IX guide now?

 

[MrBS]

Looks like more of this 'uber' range of guides prima are churning out. Interesting they are going for old titles or is there a rerelease on the cards for PC at least? FFIX on PC official would be interesting.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

.

Thanks OP

 

[MoogPaul]

But will it have all the Play Online references?

 

[wwm0nkey]

FF9 on PC? Please?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Trigger got pulled real fast on the OP lol

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Whoa, it's gone.

 

[Seven Force]

Damn, no mercy for OP.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Wasnt there news of some trilogy set from square that nobody knew what it was? What if they time the release of these guides with some type of game re-release. I could see it happening.

Oh snap.

 

[Gameboy415]

I'd love to get hardcover guides for these games but $130 is absurdly expensive!

 

[dakkumauji]

I'm impressed they are going to write a new guide for FFIX.

130 is pretty steep though.

 

[Guymelef]

Trigger got pulled real fast on the OP lol

That's what happens when you use "Square-Enix, Final Fantasy and Vita" in the same sentence.

To say nothing of the extremely poor quality of their FF9 guide: "For the rest of this part of the guide, log into PlayOnline.com!"

So if they do anything to improve it, they'll get rid of all the playonline garbage and just put it onto special pages.

 

[Shadow780]

Sure, why not.

Is playonline still available tho?

Wait, seriously? They do that? That is fucked up.

Wasn't that the Brady guide version that had all those references? I felt robbed when I bought that guide.... It it was missing so much that pointed to a website to get the rest of the information.... it was like buying a book full of hyper links. At least the cover was metallic.


I'm interested in picking these up.... more $50 interested. No where near the $130 they are seeking.

The prequel trilogy trademark? That was for a Vita port of Chaos Rings III that had elements of the first two games included.

 

[akidnamededdy]

FFIX guide updated to say "GameFAQs" instead of "PlayOnline"

 

[duckroll]

That's what happens when you use "Square-Enix, Final Fantasy and Vita" in the same sentence.

Yeah, S-E themselves didn't want to be banned from NeoGAF entirely. That's why Type-0 got pulled from the Vita. Whoops!

Oh hey you're right. Wires crossed.

 

[Cartman86]

Prima made FF guides? Were they any good?

 

[Persona7]

130 bucks? Hardcover guides are usually 20-30 retail, right?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Oh hey you're right. Wires crossed.

Don't remind me how bad that guide was.
Screw that and play online.

A few years ago I e-mailed the author of that guide in hopes of doing an interview to find out just what had happened there.

His response:

Slow news week?

I do not comment on books/games that old. Please direct your queries to BradyGames.

 

[rocketskates]

And yet "for PC, PS3, and Vita" was completely unnecessary...

Hahahaha so true.


Well, they could include some codes for at least digital copies of the games.....but that would make sense and this is Squeenix were talking about.

Spoiler

waiting to see the inevitable E-Store exclusive version

His response:

Is he still writing guides? That can be the only explanation why he wouldn't want the story out there.
