RPGs basically require strategy guides. If you want the most out of your game, you'll need to use it. FFXII is the most notorious case for me. The damn checkerboard of stats. I would never know which way to head if it weren't for a map in a guide that showed me what was under each square. Not to mention that you can't even acquire the final weapon in the game without the help of a guide. Great game, but should have come with it's strategy guide for free like Earthbound did.
