There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Even has the original design documents from back when FF7 was planned to be an n64 game!
Sadly as expected, ff7 has way more extensive content than the other titles,
FF9 actually has the most pages, but it covers less topics.
FF8 comes in last with only about 60% of the length of the ff7 section.
But regardless of your favorite PS1 you're sure to find lots of great content and beautiful artwork!
This book is well worth the price, even at MSRP!
(now if only amazon could not dent up EVERY hard cover book I order... this is the 3rd time..)
