Anyone willing to get burned twice deserves it. Personally I hope they get the feedback about how garbage these guides are and delay/put out more of an effort on that set.

Though it seems all they want to do is essentially release the old guides for 2x+ the price the guides were at launch. Reduced overhead by not having to do much of anything within the guides.... just a cash grab.

It's not much of a rip-off. You get three hardcover strategy guides for 90$, so 30$ each. It seems like the standard price for hardcover strategy guides.

Priceless.


It's nice that they do something like this instead of beating older games to ground with newer technology (minus the remake they're doing). But they obviously didn't do a perfect job at making it something special for the fans. The games were heavily credited when they were out. Final Fantasy VIII was on par with the Dreamcast as an alternative the year it came out. To me, they could have done a better job with that much money. The US doesn't even get the Ultimania books.

Priceless.

The price wasn't the problem, it was the fact that the guides are the same when they were (falsy) advertised as being "revised". 30$ is still the average for a hardcover.

Reminds me of the FFIII (VI) guide that has a quick little description of Relm but shows Kefka artwork. I was really confused when I first saw it.

Getting a full refund from Amazon. What a terrible product.

Got mine yesterday. Will be returning them soon. Feels like a slap in the face.

Also I noticed that they changed the description on Amazon to take out the part about the Lithographs being holographic. Gamestop hasn't changed their description so you can see it in all its false advertizement glory!

Amazon took their listing off amazon for review due to all the complaints.
