Jesus christ, this is horrible.
I am a big fan of Legaia 2: Duel Saga. It's a terrific game, and it deserved a terrific guide, due to the expansive nature of the game. It needed great lists and a great walkthrough, along with important boss strategies.Too bad Jason Young did none of this. The lists are inaccurate and poorly done. He forgets some items entirely, and most of his descriptions are taken straight from the game. And don't even get me started on the walkthrough, as it's one of the poorest things I've seen in a long time. He'll forget how to explain how to get all of the items. He provides a list of them, then explains how to get about a quarter of them. Nice job. Plus, the guide is short and looks HORRIBLE. It's poorly organized, the font is crap, and the details in the walkthrough are lacking. There's very little included about side quests, and the game basics are laughable at last. Do me a favor and read my Legaia 2 guide at GameFAQs (under the name Psycho Penguin). You will get more information for free instead of paying money for this garbage.

This Guide Makes Me Laugh
Poor is the word I could use to describe this guide. I would use something more explicit but for the fact that you wouldn't see it I decided not to waste my time. Anyway, the guide features poor lists and appendices and the walkthrough isn't too good all in itself.The only reason I really gave this guide two stars was because of the arts lists it includes (although that too has typos you'll still be able to unlock them all). But the guide was very difficult to read. Too many errors (and some parts even printed twice.) Not to mention that while white on black doesn't bother me, this font does. This made the walkthrough difficult to read. Not only that but the bestiary isn't all that helpful and neither are their strategies for defeating bosses. They don't cover the entire game like most other guides would. The guide doesn't really detail any secrets. It's nice to get if you need the help in completing the quest as well as lots of puzzle solutions but really...the guide isn't neccesary. I wouldn't spend any money on this. Instead, go to GameFAQs and find yourself an Arts Lists and then go through the game without the help of this guide.

proofreader, anyone?
Besides the poor graphics, the much-touted arts list features at least 3 typos. If you're going to rave about your inclusive list, at least spend some time proofreading. Couldn't they have afforded an editor? And...why can't anyone get this...if you're going to list weapons and armor, why not do it by listing them in order of strength instead of alphabetically? If one of the purposes in an RPG is to strengthen characters, shouldn't the lists reflect that? Duplicate explanations of stategy (sometimes in the very next paragraph) seem to me to be unnecessary filler. Attention could have been given to explaining conditional aspects of the game (availability of sidequests, etc.) In short, a guide should give you what you need to thoroughly explore the game. It should not repeat the obvious information available simply by viewing the cinematics or listening in on conversations in camp (things you do in the game regardless)
