So I'm playing through Lightning Returns right now. Strategy guides have always been helpful for Final Fantasy games but since your stats and the amount you can extend the clock depend entirely on which quests you do, a guide is even more important this time around. However, I'm also noticing that a lot of websites and helpful gamers provide their own free guides online. Last night I considered buying a guide or at least downloading a torrent and then I asked myself...why? A guide may go in to more detail but I can use YouTube for a detailed walkthrough of every worthwhile quest and sites like Games Radar have a list of all quests in each area, where to find it, what you need to do, within what times you need to do it, and what your reward will be. I can see guides being nice for collectors but looking at it strictly from a gaming perspective, what reason is there to buy a guide when you can get all the information for free, legally, on the internet?
