Structured for maximum ease of use, it features everything from measured step-by-step guidance to analysis of hidden gameplay mechanics. Whether you use it as a well-thumbed reference tool, or make it a near-permanent fixture on your lap until you conquer every last challenge, this 100% complete guide will answer every question you may have - and, indeed, many you might never have thought of_ Optimum Walkthrough: While the opening hours of play may seem fairly straightforward, FFXIII grows in complexity throughout the adventure. Its later chapters provide numerous opportunities to venture off the beaten track and take on challenges separate to the main storyline. With detailed annotated maps, step-by-step guidance based on user-friendly waypoints, and expert analysis for those attempting a "perfect" playthrough, the walkthrough charts the most rewarding route through the main journey and all optional side-quests, acting as an indispensable tour guide. Essential: FFXIII features a staggeringly rich game system, with many complex mechanics and attributes governing the result of each battle and the development of both characters and equipment. All of these factors (including many hidden variables and calculations) are revealed and - more importantly - explained in an approachable yet accessible manner, with visual graphs and diagrams turning long explanations into immediate "eureka!" moments. Advanced Strategy: Major enemies and bosses can take countless attempts to conquer without advanced preparations and carefully formulated tactics, so forewarned really is forearmed in FFXIII. In addition to targeted advice on the best way to defeat each opponent of note, we also reveal locations to visit for effective power-leveling, how to set up a battle party for maximum strength and efficiency, and how to exploit profitable tricks and special techniques. Absolutely Comprehensive: Seriously - if it's in the game, it's in the guide. The guide has large sections dedicated to in-depth analysis of all aspects of FFXIII: side-quests, battle system, equipment upgrades, Trophies and Achievements...you name it. Our exhaustively-researched reference chapters reveal all key stats for every last object and adversary encountered (including hidden attributes), reveal how to create ultimate weapons, how to super-specialize party members, how to obtain rare items - and much, much more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 20.9 x 1.6 x 27.31 cm | | Isbn 10 | 1906064598 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1906064594 | | Item Weight | 880 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 256 pages | | Publication Date | 9 Mar. 2010 | | Publisher | Piggyback Interactive | ## Images ![The Final Fantasy XIII Complete Official Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NcFePYjNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 10 March 2010* Generally I steer clear of videogame strategy guides, but for a big RPG it can be very tempting to have something that explains all the mechanics of levelling etc. If that's all you need, you can probably get a badly-printed tips book with a magazine ... this, however, is so much more.Piggyback has a reputation for putting together exemplary guides - their guide to FFXII was already superb - and this is no exception. There's a walkthrough, which you probably don't need, but despite the fact that the maps actually boil down in most cases to showing you how to walk from A to B down a straight line they are lovingly integrated into the page, with lots of high-quality artwork and details that enable you to pick up every last treasure chest.There are, of course, plenty of spreadsheets to get tucked into for the devoted RPG fan, and a full bestiary, and you are never going to feel that there is any data that you might need that is not readily at hand. Once you've finished the game, however, the book will continue to serve as an impressive piece of memorabilia thanks to its high quality of production and elegant design.I bought this along with the collectors' edition of the game and here's the thing: when you compare what you get for the extra money from Square Enix, and what you get for the same money (or less) from Piggyback, it is clear that this guide is fantastic value for money. This isn't just a guide for the stat-crazed; it's the best souvenir you can get for this generation of Final Fantasy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An extremely handy guide book *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 May 2025* It's the perfect guide for FF or to keep to the collection. Lots of information and photos in the book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful complete guide which looks good but is not easy to use. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 January 2014* I had the paperback version of this official guide for several years, but I misplaced it somewhere. So when I recently decided to replay the game, I ordered this collectors guide. I did find a few pages came loose from the paperback version, but they appear very firmly adhered in this hardback and it is easier to keep clean and intact.It contains the same information as the paperback, with a few additions. In my opinion the most useful information in the guide is about the weapons and the accessories, particularly when it comes to choosing which is best for each of the characters. Knowing whether to increase the power/special characteristics early in the game is important as you obtain little money until later on. So in the early stages, winning, buying and utilising items on the better weapons etc is helped through use of the guide.I found this hardback difficult to use as it does not open out and lay flat, it is also much heavier than the paperback. The paerback is much easier to use from this point of view. So if you feel you need a guide that you will be using frequently, I suggest the paerback version. However if you are a final fantasy nut like me and want the collectors edition, then you will find a way of dealing with the difficulties the hardback brings. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/66176130-the-final-fantasy-xiii-complete-official-guide](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/66176130-the-final-fantasy-xiii-complete-official-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
