do you use a guide?
do you use a strategy guide or online faq when you play a game? or do you try to beat it by yourself? i usually use a guide the first time i play a game, then , every other time i play that game, i already know what to do! however, i respect anyone who can complete an ff game without a guide...some of those puzzles make me wonder how anyone gets by it without one!

Re: do you use a guide?
With RPGs I do try to get through it on my own the first time, unless I get stuck. Then I will use a guide but only to get past where I am stuck.
After I've got through the game the first time, I do usually read a walkthrough to see what I missed. Then play again doing all the side quests ect.

Re: do you use a guide?
most of the time I go through the game myself, but If I get really stuck, I use rpgclassics or gamefaqs

Re: do you use a guide?
I consider that cheating, although on the second time or after that's just help.

Re: do you use a guide?
I prefer playing the game without the guide at least the first time. Curiosity can make me read things that I shouldn't be supposed to(in the plot) and I hate it. I completed Final Fantasy IX without a guide. The only tricks I used for Final Fantasy VII were those that allowed me to get Yuffie and Vincent. Second time I played it I used more the guide, so I could get the Huge Materia in the rocket, as in last time I couldn't!
And for Final Fantasy VIII I used it for increasing Squall Seed level. The second time I used it for getting those Guardian Forces I missed(the one of the train, for example) To sum up, I rarely use a guide the first time I play a game. I don't like guides telling me what's going to happen, at least first time. I usually use it when I play the game again. |

Re: do you use a guide?
i usually try to play the first time without a guide, unless i get stuck, but then i just quickly read that part and then don't look at the guide unless i get stuck again...

Re: do you use a guide?
I used a guide for FFVII my first time through, some 8 years ago almost, I'm ashamed of that I have never used a guide for an RPG on my first time through since then though, but I use guides and FAQs like there is no tomorrow on my 2nd time through a game

Re: do you use a guide?
i always go the first time around without a strategy guide. if i wasn't satisfied with my results, then i go it again. by the third time, i usually use a strategy guide to thoroughly beat the game

Re: do you use a guide?
Same here. First time I'll play it without a guide, but second time with a walkthrough, to find the things to complete the game 100 %, with all the sidequests and all.
