Very Good
Easy to use & full of useful info. This guide is colourful and well presented, and made sure that I didn't miss any item pickups or other secrets during the game. It is annoying that some of the finer secrets require a login on the website. When you're trying to play the game and use the guide, you don't really want to have to go online to find out things that the guide should tell you anyway - especially for people with no internet connection. However, all the important information is in the book, it was just lots of smaller but still very useful secrets that required me to go online. A minor inconvenience. Overall extremely good and worth the money - the best guide there is for the game, though the guide for FFVIII was a bit better.

Could be better
I have used strategy guides of this line before and both were brilliant, or at least brilliant enough that I can't remember where they fell down. The FFIX strategy guide disappointed me, however. The text is more narrative than instructions, and though part of it seems to be the fault of the game (lacking in side quests, anyone?) I didn't feel like it really went in depth into what to do and how to do, but just told you what was going on. All well and good, but I don't like things that just point out what I've already worked out. I'd like a strategy guide I can refer to when I'm stuck; this one hasn't really come through for me.

not enough content
There is alot of information in this book and it is a good stratagy guide. However, there is way too much of it which you have to go to playonline for, which gets really annoying. After paying for a book i wouldn't expect to have to do this. It's a great downfall for this book, though the rest of it is very good and helpful.
