Final Fantasy Anthology: Official Strategy Guide (Brady Games)

The FFV section had tons of problems. They didn't have maps for every area which could've helped in some places, and when they did have maps, they were mostly screenshots. They didn't show which place lead to which room, making you scan the maps to see if you were in the correct area.

The boss strategies are very stupid and don't give you any strategy. The suggested levels are either too high to level up to, or are too low that you wonder why you wasted your time getting that boss level.

The FFV section covers NO secrets to the game; however, they did a good job of covering the job system and were even able to tell me what I'd learn by gaining the levels.

The Bestiary for FFV is HORRIBLE! Some of the stats are off, and the EXP. is that you get if only one character defeats the enemy. Since EXP is divided the only thing you can use is the HP listing, but most of the enemies you need are not listed in the bestiary. While I don't care about there being no pictures most people do and I'm warning them now that there are no pictures in the bestiary.

Now for the FFVI portion. The section is much better organized with very detailed maps and locations of items, weapons, etc. The bestiary is actually complete but still no pictures if you like to see what they look like.

The FFVI section provides you with tons of items listings, along with weapons and armor, telling you who can equip what. The walkthrough is much better than the FFV section and the FFVI section gives you coverage of your Espers, spells, and much more.

FFVI section also provides you with a ton of secrets! If your stuck in leveling up it gives you a nice little level up trick, and later tells you where to go to fight monsters that give off great EXP.

OVERALL: I gave the guide 4 stars because with how the FFVI section was put together it actually HELPED me out, where as the FFV section was nothing but a walkthrough.
