Here is what people are saying about the Final Fantasy IX Official Strategy Guide
2 Star Rating  "Great for propping up chairs."2009-04-01
- Reviewed By User: A2IOK6V480RV3A
I want to give this guide a one star review but it is just so perfect for correcting off balance chairs and tables that I can't possibly do that.
 
2 Star Rating  "And The Razzy Goes To..."2009-03-26
- Reviewed By User: A34BFJJM4WN7GZ
This is easily the worst strategy guide I have ever seen. The Bestiary is all of 7 pages long. The Secrets and Side-Quests section (usually my primary reason for buying a guide)is also 7 pages long. The guide's advice for fighting every boss boils down to "Try to not die."

And the book's excuse for providing absolutely no information whatsoever? Well, just type in this handy code on our web site and you'll get the information you paid for!

...but... that's why I bought the book! But tough luck. Save your money and download the free guides and walkthroughs at gamefaqs.com.

Also, if you did buy the book and can no longer access the website, it is now hosted at:

This guide depends on the Final Fantasy IX online site to function. THIS SITE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN. THIS BOOK IS NOW NON-FUNCTIONAL. DO NOT BUY.
 
1 Star Rating  "A complete rip-off, but not utterly useless"2007-12-03
- Reviewed By User: A2FSUEOUNU88KG
For an "official strategy guide", this book is very short on strategy.

Apparently, the idea with this book was to make it more interactive. It frequently points you to an official Square company website and has you use keywords to find the information you need. "For more strategies against this boss, or to find a special treasure in that room, go to the site and input such-and-such keyword!" Interesting idea in theory. Very bad in practice.

First of all, how many people have the time to leap up to their computers in the middle of the game and hit a website? It can be done, but that is so annoying. The point of having a dead-tree guide is to have the info at your finger tips when you need it. But a huge chunk of the info can't be found in the book. Useless.

And just to add insult to injury, the website is barely functional. If you actually do go there and input a keyword from the guide, there's a good chance that you'll get back an error message telling you the page you want doesn't exist. Gee, how wonderful that the main feature of this interactive strategy guide **frequently doesn't work**. Of course, you may be spared the annoyance of the website not working, because instead you'll suffer from the annoyance of not even being able to find it. While it is still up, it is no longer at the playonline URL included in the book and is not easy to find.

Now, the actual book-portion of the guide does have some good info that you don't have to coerce the website into giving up. For instance, in the book there are tables of all the learnable abilities, organized by which characters can learn them, complete with which items the character can learn them from. That is quite handy if, for some reason, you're hunting down a specific ability for a specific character. There is also an appendix of info about the monsters. This beastiary really is quite complete and, from what I've been able to see, quite accurate. Though, again, a fair amount of info about each monster has been redacted from the book and can only be found on the website.

But the lion's share of the book (the walk through, side-quest info, and treasure hunting) is abysmally lacking. So no, this guide isn't completely useless, but it is mostly useless. Don't waste your money on this rip-off. Web-surf to a Final Fantasy IX fan site or to Gamefaqs instead. It's free and their strategy guides are much more informative.


Pros:

+ Good info on abilities and monsters.


Cons:

- No info on pretty much everything else.
- Partner website is hard to find and almost non-functional.
- Complete waste of money.
 
2 Star Rating  "I thought I was buying a strategy guide, not a hyperlink."2007-06-09
- Reviewed By User: A3CCOMUYUT4WXS
I have pretty much the same gripes as everyone else. Although the Internet is faster, more widespread, and more reliable than when this guide was first released, I still don't approve of essentially half of the guide being on PlayOnline. It's a nuisance to have to stop in the course of a game, and it takes the information away from your fingertips. Aren't you entitled to have the full guide in front of you at all times, seeing as you paid for it? I think so.

The bestiary is also very lacking, so much that I don't even refer to it. The descriptions of boss battles seem thrown together at the last minute, and they don't really offer much insight. There is a wealth of information about the game in here, so the guide isn't worthless, but I still would have liked a much better one.

Almost everywhere you look in this book, it basically tells you "Go to this website blah blah blah to know this secret"...
What a rip-off!
