Why is it so common to join extremes without watching a guide first?

[Deveryn]

All of the old FF series did not have "guides" on YouTube. We played the game and figured it out. Sometimes a month or two later some company would write a "guide" for the game and you could pick it up at your gaming store. Most people prefer to learn and play games before reading a "guide" not to mention spoilers. Carry on.

Extremes have no spoilers, so that's a poor excuse for not knowing anything about a fight.

If people don't know a fight or want to do blind prog, that's fine. Just be honest about it and don't waste people's time when they're trying to prog later phases.
