This is a good product , but be cautious , if you have Persona 3 FES ,this book is different. It will help but some of the game play has changed.

I didn't expect it to be so tiny. The guide is about the size of the game case. But it came with everything i was looking for, answers to some of the obscure pop quiz questions, the correct responses when building social links. Worth the buy.

DoubleJump has become renowned for its in-depth detail into all the charts and tables that it puts into its guides. Especially for the Shin Megami Tensei franchise. While it does those things well, it has been at the expense of the basics.

The guide is a treasure trove of information for all your demon fusions, items, spells, bestiary, and so on so forth. Everything down to all the optional sidequests and Social Link system. It lists all the events that can be taken during the day to increase specific stat levels and has recommendations on how to build up your character. The only problem though, is they left out anything about actually how the game itself is played.

It has pretty much become a player's guide convention that you start with the preface and then go either into the character introductions or basic gameplay controls features. DoubleJump seems to have skipped over these two sections entirely. While they do say how the game is divided between the day time and night time, they give no information as to how the game itself flows. Same goes for the characters and background story. They refer to all the characters by name in the guide, but without a reference pic to know who they are talking about, if you forget a name, you may get frustrated wondering who they are talking about. Granted this isn't the biggest deal since the good walkthrough and item infos are all present, but it still feels like the guide is incomplete.

Despite the plethora of information that DoubleJump is providing. They have overlooked some basic info that is in all guides. And while not integral to the guide, it doesn't feel right. Definately a step back from the amazing Nocturne and Disgaea guides, but substantial for what it will mostly be used for.
