An excellent book to accompany the game
This book is fantastic its full colour pages are packed with information, screenshots and maps. I’d been playing the game for absolutely ages and just couldn’t figure out what to do in Ultimecia’s castle so I eventually resorted to buying this guide and I’m glad I did. Everything is clearly described and it’s not just a walkthrough there are lists of monsters, cards, weapons and even details on characters and guardian forces. The only problem with it is that once I finished my game I wanted to start again and work my way through all the secrets described in the book A very worthy purchase to accompany the game.

the best ever
well where do i begin, this guide has 196 pages all colour pages for beginners and experienced gamers. This guide has the maps for each level, and the maps are right next to the guide ( i mean if your on the balamb garden section of the game on the next page will be the maps ) this is excellent because i have read some reviews of the american ''brady games guide'' and they say that the maps are at the back of the guide (?!) and that the brady games guide has some info missing that is not the case with this ''Authorised Collection Guide''. Now with the guide, this guide has around 30 pages for the intro, 90 pages for the walkthrough, 16 pages for info on juctions,g.fs and magic, around 30 gages for the info on ALL the monsters, 12 pages on all the items and weopen upgrades, 10 pages on how to play the triple triad ( thats the card game if you was wondering) 9 pages on ALL the secrets and the last pages has ''the world map'' and index. I hope my guide was helpfull.

Final Fantasy VIII Official Strategy Guide
This is a very good book, containing a lot of secrets. The only thing I don't like is all the secrets and cards are at the back of the book, although they are referenced in the text, you have to flick back and forth. Also some people might miss the references and miss out on the secret, but if the article was written on the same page it would be easier to find. Overall, a very worthwhile purchase!
