Elizabeth Hollinger still has fond memories of playing video games with her mother and sister in the wee hours of the morning before catching the bus to go to school. She swears that this latest trek through childhood is prompted only by the Japanese game manuals she translates for friends (both real and web-based). Really.
James M. Ratkos still finds time to fuss over the appearance of the website he and Beth maintain when not stressed out by his full-time job. In his spare time, he enjoys mountain biking through the huge, uh, hills in Michigan.

About this title

Review:

How do you follow up one of the most ambitious, anticipated, and successful video games of all time? With an equally ambitious game that has a unique look and feel, but remains true to its lineage. This is the story behind Final Fantasy Tactics, the new Sony Playstation game from Squaresoft. Following the epic role-playing game Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics focuses more on battles and strategies for winning them. This book, which is far more engaging than your average all-text strategy guide, can help you master each of the game's 70 battle maps, which are depicted in several full-color screen shots. Before getting into that, however, the guide goes to great lengths to explain the game's incredible depth and the many intricacies you'll have to learn in order to be successful. The latter portion of the book explains the differences between the game's 20 different job classes and provides a wealth of statistics on the many weapons and creatures that come into play.
