I remember this. I HATED it. The guidebook required you to check online for literally everything.

What's the point of a physical guidebook that you need to constantly go online?

I have both editions of that.

When they redid the strategy guides in a hardcover form, they reused the same shitty guides with no touch ups.

The guide for 7 still had all the errors as well

I didn't need it. I has an issue of EGM2 (or Expert Gamer as it may have been called) that had almost a complete walkthrough for FF9.

Just that it was a side magazine to the original EGM, focusing on game tips instead of reviews. After a year or two it became Expert Gamer.

i used to buy Expert Gamer just because it was filled with so many cool guides, even for stuff I would never play. They had a full issue guide for FF8 too
