You thinking about making a section for guides?

Thought about it for a fleeting moment, then decided it was too much work to do when there's Gamefaqs. I agree it would be nice, but there's not a whole lot of need for it. :(

It would be nice if there were more guides for import games especially RPGs. Something else is you could always just add links to the link section for sites with guides that aren't on gamefaqs and aren't well known.

Gamefaqs tends to have bad import guides. Most people don't know ANY Japanese so make horrible guides.

The ony handful I've used have been pretty good. The Black/Matrix guide for Saturn was useful fo the few times I needed it, and did explain the story. Others are crap though, I'm sure. I don't really know of any guides that aren't on Gamefaqs, but would be more than willing to link them. Seems that everyone wants Gamefaqs brownee points, so posts them there. :)

I guess over all a guides section may not be the best. Maybe just a big link section that links to sites with guides (Like what you already started). =D

Actually that Black Matrix was done by someone that knows Japanese and it definity shows. I actually kind of know the person. He gave me a partial scenarios of the first area or so before the guide was done from what I remember from a few years ago. Good guides like that are far and few. There's a fair amount of guides that aren't on Gamefaqs. If I have the time maybe I can get a few links. I know a lot more good import guides than ones that are in english. I generally prefer to look at Japanese guides as there generally pretty easy and straight forward read. Plus they generally don't spoil too much of a story which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

I agree with Azazel. The Japanese guides are very straight forward, and barely give you enough info to get by.... doesn't ruin the game. :)
