    Strategy Guides

    This is just a general suggestion/complaint. Not directed at 11 personally, but at all the final fantasy's. So please forward this to whom ever would deal with this.

    Since i was a kid I've always played through the FF games on my own before ever looking at a strategy guide. But one thing has always annoyed me about every single one. Can you find a way to make the spine stronger? Every guide falls apart fairly quickly. Pages come lose or rip out. Or the bending that occurs just from opening it rips them out/apart. Its annoyed me since i was young, and id like to see it improved considering ppl are paying for them.

    My random thought for the day'

    Never had this happen to any guides. Granted, their contruction isn't anything impressive, even cheap maybe. Perhaps you're just a little to rough on them? lol

    That was my thoughts on it. I honestly have year old guide books that are just fine in condition and some I even use to this day.

    I was really hoping this would be the thread where we got SE to print another strategy guide after nearly ten years.

    I know we have community websites that are undoubtedly always going to be more up to date, but I always loved the maps (which we have more of) and paging through the jobs and other bits of advice. Basically, having the physical copy to hold.

    I think we could use a new, updated, comprehensive guide when Seekers comes out.

    Given that it's usually a bad idea to make an actual guide for an online game since it'd get outdated so quickly, I'd settle for a translated version of this.

    I would love to read some of the more detailed thoughts/development/artists notes and such. Do it this once guys, on the tenth anniversary. If you can't this time, on the eleventh, please? Make it happen!

    I recommend the Brady guide for FFXI. It may be old, but the information in it is timeless. It made the first year of my experience truly interesting an memorable!!!

    I'm actually very gentle with them. Because i don't want them to get destroyed. I still have all my systems (Nintendo and up), TVs from 80/90's+, and a bunch of other stuff that still work perfectly. Granted those are electronics not books, but i do take care of my stuff. The guides always seem to start falling apart tho. And always from the spine.

    Maybe you're overly acidic?
