Book Reviews of Final Fantasy XIII: Complete Official Guide - Standard Edition
Book Review: Fantastic Guide, a Must-Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Because of the linear nature of the game, the "walkthrough" portion is not really necessary other than finding very easy to spot treasure spheres and general strategies for bosses (some are very difficult).
However, for those who plan to truly explore, level-grind, build out characters, and customize weapons, this guide is a must. Certain parts of customization require a reference list for understand exactly what path you are drawing out for characters or items, and having this guide handy is extremely helpful. The information is in the game, but switching between weapon customization screens and item statistics is virtually impossible.
For those who plan on plowing through the game in 50 hours, I cannot strongly recommend the guide, but if this is not your first Final Fantasy, you are probably aware the sheer amount of extra content to be found in any Final Fantasy game, and XIII does not disappoint.
If you plan on playing the game as it is truly meant to be played, and want to get as much as you can out of it, this guide does a great job of keeping spoilers to a minimum and offers more strategies and suggestions than a walkthrough.
