Final Fantasy XV - The Complete Official Guide

I like that it has all main, side quests, car repair locations and bounty hunt locations definitely worth the money.

I brought the guide as I collect the FF guides. It is written easy to understand and it has photos. It is a guide for the game

I have become quite the collector with these types of books and this one is no different form the amazing works form the other Final Fantasy games. Beautiful art work with real good writing and help from it.

I was very pleased with this product. The authors have done a great job listing up useful information and tips during the Walkthrough-section considering how many aspects FFXV offers (main and sidequests, a list of monsters in that area with tips, list of items, etc). The book also offers great in-depth information about the combat system, bestiary, sidequests, Elemancy, Ascension, and much more. If you are stuck on a quest, take a quick look at the index and find the page for a walkthrough of that quest. In addition to the book, you get a big map of Eos.

This is an excellent and well produced book that will definitely enhance the FF experience. To be honest I completed the game without opening it but for me it came into use afterwards when I wanted more info about the other dungeons/quests and weaponry. It was worth it just to show me the right way to go at one place in Costlemark Tower - I could still be going round in circles without it. Sometimes it’s easier to have the information in front of you in a book than searching YouTube etc and although there is the odd omission (one of the fishing spots for example) and obviously new updates are not covered it is still a worthwhile investment for fans to get the most out of the game.

I'm reviewing the standard edition guide. I think the question everyone asks is: "Why should I buy a strategy guide when I can find one free on the web?" That's a good question and I think I can give you the answer. This is the official guide (as the title says) and it's one that Square-Enix have provided with a short but very interesting pre-face. The message essentially says that Square-Enix wanted to create a game whereby friends, loyalty and journeying was the main theme. The point being: there is some history and little tid-bits that you otherwise wouldn't get with a user-made strategy guide. The guide is colourful and well presented, with lots of artwork of Noctis and co. I particularly like the fact that they've managed to capture so much information. With side-quests, the game is said to last upwards of 60 hours. I don't doubt that figure at all. I was 1 hour in and at the very beginning of the book doing my first side quest before I realized just how little i'd done. The previous point is also why I have to rate 4/5; the guide will often give you a side-quest and say: "Turn to page x" were x is a page that's towards the middle/end of the book. It's not a huge problem and for some, it might not be an issue whatsoever, but I just find that if you're like me and you want to do the side-quests, you'll find yourself jumping between the back and front of the book, to the point where you'll need two bookmarks! All in all, it's a great guide and worth the money. It has all the information you need, plus information on beasts that you'll find in the wild, visual overviews of the map, fishing etc It has it all. And for the long-term FF fans, you'll be happy to turn onto a random page in the guide and see pictures/illustrations of Cid (yes, he's here folks! Cid is always here), Iron Giant and the cactuars which have bugged me since FFX where I had to do a side-quest involving them... There is a lot to see AND read in this guide. Anyway, as you can see, I recommend it. The guys at Piggyback have done what they do best.

Bought the book mostly for the maps as a last resort aid to go along with the game and with such a large area to explore I am already glad that I did as it details everything you need to know in regard to things i have otherwise easily missed. Overall the layout is well recieved and the format clear and easy to understand and like any guide it also provides a clear walkthrough with additional information on party traits and a bestiary as well as information on the characters skills and developments, sidequests and inventory (I have yet to read through these areas, however flipping through it appears to be easy to read and provide details on party setups and locations like any other ff guide would).

I am not one for game guides, however I wanted to pick this one up as Final Fantasy games have many hidden items and quests. Although the game starts off pretty easy to find everything, once you get into it it opens up drastically and there are lots of things to miss. This guide is flawless, covering everything from sidequests, boss strategies & maps to tips and tricks to getting 100% completion. The book is stunningly beautiful I can't say enough about the presentation. This guide has totally changed my mind of using guides in games just to find every nook and cranny. I picked up another copy to keep sealed just for my collection.

Par ce commentaire je ne jugerai pas tellement de l'article qui est tout à fait conforme à ce que j'attendais (si ce n'est que des lise à jour du guide sorti en PDF le rende caduque sur certaines choses), mais plutôt sur ma surprise en constatant que malgré le fait que je l'ai commandé en version française, ma commande a été modifiée et Amazon m'a envoyé la version anglaise...que j'avais déjà commandé sur le site anglais en attendant ma VF... Du coup je ne comprend pas, j'avais vu le changement de descriptif mais pensant que c'était juste en attendant la réédition de la VF je ne m'en suis pas inquiété. Et au final c'est bien la version anglaise qui m'a été envoyée sans me demander si ça m'intéressait toujours... En attendant de me décider à le renvoyer ou non (pas déballé du coup) j'aimerai bien avoir des explication de la part d'Amazon ?< Merci !

This is what a guide should be. It's not a hand-holding walkthrough that guides your every movement; it gives maps and suggested routes for specific items; it tells you what enemies will be an a general area or dungeon, but it doesn't tell you step by step every move to make, every place something is going to appear. The topics are cross-referenced so as to make it easy to find everything you need. I've yet to search for something I could not find in a short amount of time. I've yet to have a question that it doesn't answer. But I've yet to come across something that gives away so much of the story that there's no point in playing the game. Best game guide I've ever seen!

Amazing Must buy

La guía está en un bonito formato y cubre la mayoría de los sidequests del juego. Únicamente se quedan fuera las cosas que han salido después como el Carnival. Tiene muchas fotos con indicaciones de los lugares en cuestión en cada caso. La recomiendo a todo aquel que quiera no perderse nada del juego.

No soy fan de las guías porque hasta cierto punto te echan a perder la experiencia, pero en un juego tan complejo como lo es un Final Fantasy la verdad que no me puedo quejar. Es una compra obligada si eres un coleccionista o si te gustan los productos bien hechos. La guía viene súper detallada y la estrategia que propone es muy efectiva. No te arruina momentos (a menos que te brinques páginas) sino que te prepara para ellos. El mapa de juego es hermoso y la calidad del mismo es de lo mejor.
